This emulator burns pure unadulterated SOUL coal

>>6885183
is this the emulator so inaccurate that hack roms created for it don't work on real hardware?

>>6885193
No? This is the SOULFUL classic emulator, zoomie.

>>6885183
I remember I had to play super metroid with invisible lava because I had zero idea emulators could be 'inaccurate'

>>6885193
And that's a good thing.

>>6885183
It was great, and works on the shittiest computers.

>>6885183
This scares the zoomer.

>>6885187
>zsnes is for coal burners
DELETE THIS

>>6885183
This was the very first time I downloaded an emulator. I really wanted to play Super Mario All-Stars.

This. I can appreciate it on the 'was' level and wasted tons of my incel high school youth on it, but if use something faster these days and aren't running like a Pentium 166 you should use SNES9x.

>>6885262
*if you need something faster

>>6885206
>>6885183
Literally no reason to use it unless you emulate on a DOS machine for some insane reason in current yr.

>>6885183
What can I say? It just works.

>>6885262
I dont use it anymore, but it was great for its time.

>>6885183
It was incredible at the time. Smooth 60FPS on a 233MHZ Pentium II. Relatively accurate. Wonderful memories.

dropped

Seriously though OP it was great

It's so weird to feel nostalgic for a fucking emulator.
I wish I remembered the name of the game boy emulator that I found in 1999. It didn't really work, but just being able to boot up the japanese ROM of Pokemon Gold (2 years before it got released in the west) was just exciting on its own.

>>6885193
it's the emulator so inaccurate it had a security vulnerability for your pc until a few years ago

>>6886206
Very likely to be NO$GMB or VGBDOS

>>6886206
Was it SMGBY? I think that's the one I used to play a partially translated Japanese Gold ROM back in the day. Never found Kanto so that was a surprise when I got the English version. My favorite new Pokemon was DENRYU.

>>6886227
*SMYGB

Sound emulation in DOS was peak SOUL.

>>6886224
>>6886227
Impossible to tell, really, it was so long ago.
NO$GMB rings a bell but not sure.
All I remember is being excited as fuck, it felt like I was a hacker. Too bad I couldn't move the character around once the game started though, so that was the end of the adventure for me. Oh also, it was definitely not translated at all, partially or otherwise. It was just the japanese ROM.

First emulator I ever used, it was 2001 or so. Played a lot of Gundam Wing Endless Duel on that thing. Anyone who has bad things to say about it is outing themselves as underage and/or very gay

>zoomers never bowed to the Fecal Lord
>zoomers never thanked Shitman
I pity the young.

>>6885183
SMILEYS ARE FUCKING BANNED

>>6885183
It was probably the very first emulator I saw used on some win9x computer.

>>6886271
this was the first emulator i ever used i remember thinking the bloody hand was so cool

>>6887921
I put it on all the computers at school, the maintenance guy/IT dude who had a fucking engineering degree for some odd reason would kill time deleting it and all our ROMs so it became a game to hide them from him. He would leave text files when he would find them. Nice guy.

>>6885193
Most romhacks for third and fourth gen systems don't work on real hardware.

>>6886271
>Thanks Shitman!

>>6885183
I hate the soul meme but that UI is full of soul.

>>6886271
came to post this

I still use it and dont know why its not cool anymore. fuck you guys

>>6888224
it was fine for the time, it's just that we do have more accurate alternatives nowadays

Ok then anons what is the best emulator then

>>6888384
emulation wiki has a list of the best emulators for every system

>>6885279
>Literally no reason to use it
What about SOUL?

>>6885183
i loved this emulator because i didnt have a good pc controller yet. pressing escape for state loading is still burned in my mind

>>6886271
>be young
>i just thought Nesticle was just some distinguashable name from all the other emulators
>icon is a hairy nutsack i never noticed

>>6885183
I remember downloading Nesticle when I was like 10 and being really scared because the cursor was a penis

I definitely have fond memories of ZSNES like probably most people do, but you come to the conclusion that SNES9x exists and you should probably just use that.

>>6888384
SNES9x or bsnes-mt.

>>6885880
I achieved 60fps on a Pentium 166MMX. Having an MMX procesor made all the difference since the emulator supported it, on my previous P150 nonMMX I had 20fps.
Always talking about regular games, SFX and the sort were a lot more taxing.

>>6885183
Such a cute interface. Not the best, but it's got style

>>6889324
I think people like it because it has the look of a DOS program GUI.

>>6885208
I'm a Z"oomer" and I remember fondly playing Super Mario All Stars and World on this

>>6885183
znes sucked dick. SNES9X crew where we at? I use BSNES now tho.
