    Snes9x - Portable Super Nintendo Entertainment System (TM) emulator

  • 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.
