To date, NO EMULATOR is as efficiently built as ZSNES, as it is the only emulator to be coded in such a low, near-boilerplate language. To this day It literally runs better than any other SNES emulator, even ones that are updated as late as 2020, only now it is a moot point, since even something coded like shit will run just fine on new systems, since they easily take up the slack.
