Best way to play classic Nintendo/Super Nintendo?
Analogue SuperNT if you want close to actual hardware, cart support, controller support on an hdmi platform. But if you just want to play the games, a good emulator will do wonders. Higan will do most old systems flawlessly.

Self learning about concurrency, threading, parallelism.
Self taught developer in what systems with what languages? If you want to learn these concepts implement them in your language of choice. You would likely learn the most using C to do so. A great starting point are the various flavors of coroutine. There are a few great implementations on github, in various projects. It's good to read those while learning so that you understand WHY the various types of coroutines exist. Why does the Higan emulation project use cooperative coroutines on a single thread? https://github.com/higan-emu/higan/tree/master/libco You can study both the implementation of some idea and its use by finding projects like this on github and reading the source.

Feint of Severodonetsk (2022 colourized)
mGBA runs on everything and has tons of features, but isn't 100% accurate. If you have a decent PC and want the best possible experience, try Higan instead: https://github.com/higan-emu/higan

Final Fantasy VI pixel remaster launches February 2022
Snes9X is generally considered the best general emulator, if you happen to try to run one of the 20 or so games that Snes9X has issues with, Higan is there to save you as it's cycle accurate on SNES games, however, be warned that Higan is quite resource intensive because accuracy isn't cheap, so only do so if you really want to play that, as even Higan's original dev recommended to use Snes9X over Higan for most emulation

What's the best way to create a cross-platform emulator?
In the second scheme, you build some abstract interface to system GUI libraries, whereby they can be polled for input and asked to lay out widgets. Then you implement the interface in terms of every host that you want to support. This is essentially how higan&co work (see specifically hiro).

Are you running 3.0.1 downloaded from their site? And is the game a clean dump, or some kind of romhack?

Why is N64 still behind in terms of emulator ?
Suggested for cheaters and poorly designed ROM hacks: Project64
- They should have locked the expansion mechanic behind more.

is Super Mario 64 for 40$ good?
Sorry it took so long, but here we go. 1. You wanna go to www.pj64-emu.com there's a huge "download here" that will download the setup which you then need to run to install the emulator (I also choose to have an icon on the desktop). 2. You go to https://wowroms.com/de/roms/nintendo-64/super-mario-64-usa/24979.html to download the super mario 64 rom for the emulator, here I have pre-chosen the USA version for you, there's a European version too, they're all basically the same tho, you just get different language options sometimes. Click the green "download rom" button and it will download the rom in a zip file for you. Open the zip file and extract it (don't forget where you put it tho) 3. When you run the Project64 emulator for the first time you get to choose if you want to run it on a modern PC or an older one, I chose modern, but if your PC or laptop is old then you might want that. You can test out the options and if it doesn't work you can reinstall it and try again with the next option. 4. When you click on finish a blank window will pop up for you, there you go to "File" in the top left corner and choose "Open ROM" and browse your PC for the Super Mario 64 file we had downloaded and extracted earlier. Choose the file, click on open and your game should run. 5. Then if you like you can configure your buttons, so if you play with mouse and keyboard you can assign the keys from your keyboard to perform a certain action that would usually be done with the button on the controller and if you have a controller you can plug into the computer you can also assign the buttons to your controller the same way. For that go to options and then choose "Input settings". Try it out a little bit and see what's most comfortable for you or you can leave it as it is and play with the preassigned options. Hope that helps and if you have any questions lmk! You can also look for other ROMs and download other games, there's a ton of them.
