That makes sense. I followed the emulator scene for a while and had never heard of this one until a recent article somewhere. Or maybe I just forgot about it?
Either way, bsnes meets all of my needs. I have no nostalgia towards an emulator that I have never used previously, and I can count SNESticle among the emulators that I have never used.
For them, I imagine it's less about how good it is, and more about simply having access to it now.
