Sentimentality aside, is there a reason to update ZSNES?
Its core default emulation is inaccurate by design, and it was made for pretty low power legacy hardware.
Said emulation is why a number of ROM hacks only run in ZSNES as they were built around its capabilities, and therefore will never run on real hardware, and Snes9X has a ZSNES compatibility option.
It was found to have some severe vulnerabilities that a maliciously crafted ROM loaded in ZSNES could be used to infect your PC with nasty shit. I guess that would be an actual reason to update it.
If you just want the UI, iirc someone made a ZSNES frontend for SNES9X or something.

this mockup tells me the guy who designed the interface (the only reason to use zsnes) is either gone or he's washed

this has never been proven. people just took whatever people like byuu said as fact. he simply hated zsnes and made shit up about it to push his own emulator.

I'll take byuu's word on anything over some random 4chan guy trying to discredit a dead genius while he cant defend himself. Probably helped make posts about him when he was alive you freak.

A lot of console-based emulators on older systems use ZSNES since it's fast. I doubt any of them will be updated at this point but it's a possibility.

i'm sure it was leaked and totally real. and former president obama and the secret service live inside my asshole. it's true, i wrote about it on the internet just now.

Yeah, sure, he's not dead. It's just that his friends, family, and absolutely everyone who personally knows him as well as THE US GOVERNMENT which confirmed his death all were in on the whole faking his death thing and have been keeping up the ruse for years no reason other than to try to trick you.

He may have been autistic but you're retarded.

You realize the documents about his death were publicly released and take about 10 seconds to find?

This. So much this. I switching to Super ZSNES over snes9x. Is snex9x better? Obviously but it's fun to switch up emulators every now and then.. And then the nostalgia for most of us millennials have for the emulator is awesome.. And I am hoping that it will just become as good as snes9x some day.

Helps with enhancement effects like HD Mode 7, possibly FX polygons in the future too. Right now you need a specific branch of bsnes to do hi-res mode 7 and even on high-end modern CPUs it starts to run slow if you turn the quality up too high.

Here's an example of hi-res mode 7 on bsnesHD

>>12533395
there's also the built-in universal graphical editing tools that don't require romhacking knowledge to make changes. and it's capable of more than just putting a material over the gameplay like everyone seems to be focusing on.

>>12533372
Yes, that was only revealed after this thread got started.
Also that it's built in Unity engine of all things and it's a literal LOOKIN' GOOD machine using Photoshop-level Pattern Overlay effects to texturise sprites with a GPU shader to achieve Super Eagle-like pixel filtering.

Two things that are actually of interest are the widescreen implementations, and the audio engine where it can swap in your own samples to replace the ones in the ROM.
https://youtu.be/r5twUkvYFpA?t=617
https://youtu.be/r5twUkvYFpA?t=644
Since Church of Kondo does work to source the original audio samples used to make SNES and GBA music, it would be possible to use that research to have SOUNDIN' GOOD music in Super ZSNES.
