Near, the developer of bsnes, recently took their own life after enduring years of cyberbullying. As ugly and hate filled as the internet can be at times, there's nothing anyone can do to diminish Near's achievements or their immense contributions to video game emulation. Near not only developed bsnes+Higan but also helped to advance other emulators, like Snes9x, and invented the bps patching format used by some of the mods in this video. I recommend reading this piece (penned by Near) to better appreciate the extent of their talent and commitment: arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/06/how-snes-emulators-got-a-few-pixels-from-complete-perfection/

I think it's beautiful. It always looked like ass to me in how it rendered graphics, so the stabilization and elimination of warping now makes them look REALLY good.

Nintendo's single-handedly done so much damage to the public image of emulators that they can't even call their OWN emulators what they really are. Up until the day they finally took the whole thing down, that infamous legal page never added an "Okay if we emulate our own shit because it's our own shit" exception to emulation even though it'd be perfectly understandable to do so.

All this makes me wish Nintendo would just step up with their emulation. I'm playing Metroid Fusion on the Wii U right now, and GBA games, while done well gameplay-wise on the system, are really lacking in visual options. There's something satisfying about playing these games on Nintendo's own hardware, so it's a true shame that the company's negligence has led to their hardware no longer being the best way to experience their games. Honestly if I were Nintendo I'd just hire some of the more talented emulator developers and create an entire department just dedicated to getting legacy content working on Nintendo's modern hardware with as many options and features as possible. That way Nintendo can leave their legacy content to those who are passionate about working with it, and let their current development teams work on current games.

I just hacked my NES Classic since it turns out it's identical to the SNES Classic minus the games and controller and got all the 2D metroid games running on it. For the original Metroid I downloaded the mOTHER99 hack which improves visuals a lot while still being NES graphics and adds QoL improvements like a working minimap when pausing, starting every life with full health and having both beam upgrades not be mutually-exclusive. I also got Metroid 2 with the color hack running. I highly recommend anyone with one of the mini classic consoles to emulate their classic games like this. It's really neat

I just want to say thank u man. A little while I wanted to play earthbound and thanks to you I tried emulating it instead of not playing it or spending $80 on a SNES mini for one game. I really like it and want it see it through to the end, even if ZSNES (I chose that one since it was the only one I could get working) is in small screen only and the game occasionally freezes

Emulators are just for pirates who want to play old games that companies either won't sell anymore or can't sell. All emulators should be shut down. We don't need old games, I'm fine with the PS5 and the 3 games it currently has. We have literally never learnt anything from older games and most old games don't even have cool contemporary features like micro-transactions, always on DRM for single player content and day one patches that allow the game to be released broken, and then fixed later. Stop living in the past and accept the future. **puts on glasses, steps into delorean and immediately crashes into a Dennys**

1:20 An accurate depiction of Nerrel? You make the call! Honestly, the whole subject of emulation is meant to be argued as morally gray only because game companies want us to feel guilt for piracy... except, sometimes, piracy is our only option. Game preservation wasn't and will never be a priority for companies for monetary reasons, which explains why fewer and fewer games are made available for "backwards compatibility" as years go on. Although there will be those who use bullet points like "only a small percentage of users will ever use it" or "people prefer the latest and greatest", progress often requires looking back in order to look ahead, as some of the decisions we've made on what makes a video game "great" have resulted in worse experiences, both for the player and for the developer (unless you're an executive).

@@logandunlap9156 software emulation will likely never reach 100% accuracy for a plethora of reasons, with one of the most obvious being that the average end user won't have the processing power to handle it without serious detriment to the game's performance. But in reality, this is a non-issue since even the most obscure edge case games won't require a fully 100% accurate emulator to provide an experience so close to playing it on real hardware that it becomes nearly impossible to tell the difference.
