If you have a PAL TV and cart, real hardware is always better. If you're trying to mix NTSC and PAL, you might have issues.

If you want to do emulator, it depends on what you want out of it. Either the higan-accuracy build if you want high accuracy, or snes9x for a good-enough accuracy and great performance (even byuu, the creator of bsnes and higan, recommends snes9x over higan-balanced and higan-performance for high-performance imperfect emulation). You can use RetroArch with one of these cores if you prefer the interface, but the emulation will be the same with RetroArch as with the vanilla emulator.

This. SNES9x is a good emulator, also, why do you object to playing on PAL?

yes, nothing wrong with emulation.

>PAL

Just emulate it

>>14671852

Yeah, he's a faggot, but he knows emulation and programming.

Zsnes

Retroarch using crt-royale shader. It's the only way.

>why do you object to playing on PAL?

PAL is slowed down by 10hz, which can have a huge impact on the gameplay. See vid related.

>>14672010

Fair point, but Samus is slightly faster in the PAL version if I am not mistaken.

>>14671737

Yeah just emulate, and don't forget to try some romhacks for that if you want more once you're done.

>>14672010

NTSC was a joke at one time. "Never the same color twice"

>>14671982

Fuck off with your CRT meme, it doesn't show the images as they are in memory.

>>14671970

ZSnes is just fine

>>14672260

And that's a good thing. Raw pixels look like shit.

>>14672271

But is misrepresents the data.

>>14672278

Its supposed to be misrepresented, mate.

Just use snes9x, play the game a couple of times, get used to the mechanics and then start playing hacks.

ZSNES is fine.

>>14672292

Prove it.

>>14672260

>ZSNES is fine.

>>14672338

Yeah, and? Actual games were buggy, too.

>>14672359

That png…

I mean, yes, CRTs had some color bleeding and some inherent between frame blurring just due to the tech itself, but, and I'm an old fag here, the image on the left is what I remember from my childhood and not the one on the right. Esp if you had a decent (larger than 19") television.

And for the decades I've been emulating, I've preferred straight pixels over any filters, and holy fuck do CRT filters look like garbage.

>>14671737

OP, just play the fucking thing on snes9x, it is God tier. If you could somehow get a hold of NTSC hardware, that's #1 preferable, but emulation with something like this would suffice: https://www.amazon.com/Buffalo-iBuffalo-Classic-Gamepad-BSGP815GY/dp/B06XWD8QQJ/ref=sr_1_3/131-0157219-5424266?ie=UTF8&qid=1524262712&sr=8-3&keywords=buffalo+snes+usb+controller

>>14672376

What about higan? Is that any good?

>>14672483

Waste of power unless the specific thing you wana play is non functional in Snes9x, used to be that Snes9x missed some big changes mainly in audio emulation but now most of hte important things is backported, now if only they could backport the overclocking stuff that would be nice.

>>14672359

You didn't prove it. Why is it supposed to look like a shitty CRT?

>>14672359

CRT made the grass green and erased the bushes?

>>14672260

>"CRT is a meme"

>better contrast ratio

>better response rate

>no fixed resolution

>no backlight bleed

If your option is PAL or emulator, emulator is closer to developer intent as the games weren't made to be played at 50hz and ultimately play worse for this reason. I say this as someone opposed to emulation unless it is most feasible for you.

>>14672371

I've never seen anyone in this much denial.

>>14672359

>playing over RF

Who actually did this when every NES had Composite out?
