snes9x VS dolphin

I didn't know that bsnes demands so much on Android, I tested it years ago probably only for a few minutes and I only remember the core being unstable. I used to use Snes9x on desktop as well as Android, but I switched to bsnes on desktop because Snes9x had graphical issues in some games that just recently got fixed (see here the issue I opened in 2021). On the desktop I haven't seen any significant change in power demand between Snes9x and bsnes, and I've played a lot of games since then, so I don't regret it. As for Mesen-S, the project had been paused by the developer years ago, I saw that it has recently resumed the development on a new emulator, but I don't know how (or if) the changes and improvements are being ported to the cores, so, Mesen is my choice for NES, but I have doubts about Mesen-S for my choice for SNES as the emulator still needed a lot of improvement when the project was paused, so if the bsnes core ever has issues on desktop I'll probably just go back to Snes9x unless I'm sure the Mesen-S core is being maintained. As for my choice on Android, I have no doubt that Snes9x is the best option for me, it's lightweight, doesn't demand power and is directly maintained by the emulator developers, so I didn't changed even when I changed the core I use on the desktop.

Snes9x - Portable Super Nintendo Entertainment System (TM) emulator.

The Current version of the Emulator Snes9x 1.62.3 was on the Updater but now Update goes back to 1.61

Nestopia for NES Snes9x for SNES

whoops I linked the wrong page by accident: https://github.com/snes9xgit/snes9x/releases scroll down to 1.61, grab snes9x-1.61-libretro-x64.zip and put the dll from it inside your retroarch cores folder (overwriting the old one)

I would also recommend doing this, the SNES app for switch is literally just a SNES emulator so you're literally emulating an emulator. There's no reason to do this, so I'd imagine that it's going to be hard to find someone who can actually help. It would be far easier and make far more sense to just use Snes9x or bsnes or something. Plus you'd be able to play rom hacks and stuff!

Also I just run retro gaming on my windows pc since i'm always on it. I use SNES, Gameboy, PS1, PS2, PS3, XBox, and XBox 360. If sure it's not efficient to run them all separately but it works for me

Dolphin ships with a bunch of keys in the source code[0]. So do almost every other emulators for any console from 6/7th gen consoles (ps3, xbox360, gamecube), see delroth's post on the matter here[1]. It's really not that simple - jurisdiction matters a lot, and also Nintendo's own priorities.

GameCube/Wii: Dolphin is the best GameCube/Wii emulator in my opinion: Download Dolphin

Dolphin has actually had this for their macOS builds for over a year now.

Though these consoles did not support stereoscopy originally, the Dolphin emulator can add it and output SBS. My experience was a bit mixed. Your mileage may vary.

You install Dolphin emulator, go into settings and make a folder for your games where it says "directory", and then you just stick your game in the folder. That's pretty much all there is to it, that's why I think Dolphin is the best emulator.

Platform: Gamecube. The remaster scrapped the local co-op entirely (booo). This one is a bit tricky but works perfectly once setup properly in Dolphin.
