I HATE BYUU! BSNES

Now you know the reason why everyone hate byuu.
In his delusional mind, only his opinion matters. everyone else is wrong.
You know why everyone hate him in the zsnes boards? he was always complaining and demanding that every snes rom format haves to be make the way he wants because its better (the roms and games work) why it should be done? theres no reason, why he started a fight with the guy of snes central? because he say that the scanning was crap and he will release his own work (theres nothing wrong with snescentral scans or manual replacement.org)then when people started to contribuite now we is not releasing a thing because is pirating, so now is is own preservation project just for him but he ask for games and boxes , He will not release a damn thing, hes to egocentric and haves self importance.
When was the last time any emu author asked you for a donation to decript and decapped special chips? Never!
He posted shit about Zeality the guy who made the crono trigger fangame chrimson echoes because the game was made to work in zsnes (the game needs the registers out of memory to work,
and some parts looks with garbage without it, but it works with snes 9x regardless)
and finally when was the last time you see the snes 9x authors or any of the zsnes board mods, snes central, manual replacement,zeality  or iphner or any emu contributors, post crap about the other snes emus? NEVER but byuu thinks that posting crap about zsnes and snes9x, snescentral,manual replacement,zeality,iphner is the right thing to do and remind the masses how good and accurate his emu is.

Time to play a fair devil's advocate, because all I see here is one extremely angry person yelling at himself.

To note, yes, bsnes is extremely resource intensive and more than likely poorl optimized. Each version seems to take up more and more computer resources. I no doubt believe that accuracy-oriented emulators really do take more processing power, etc., than a speed-based emulator, bsnes's level of resources seems unfairly high and can probably be optimized to take less than its current form.

I'll try not to judge byuu too much. He definitely seems to value his own work quite a bit more than others, but at least he's just doing his own thing now instead of constantly bitching at the inaccuracies of other emulators. I do think it's a little sad that, in the long run of things, all SNES ROM formats ended up being the incorrect one, simply because it is actually incorrect. It's very hard to win a format war when it's set in stone already. That said, it also doesn't take very long to just convert the format of one game anyway.

Several things as someone who has actually had the beast of a computer to run bsnes with little problems:

1. Sound emulation is 100 percent spot on for all games. This is the best and most noticeable thing about bsnes. There are sound effects and certain musical notes that emulators like ZSNES and snes9x don't get quite right. Several sound effects from EarthBound are a slightly different pitch than what they should be, and while I don't care that much, it kind of alienates a feeling of nostalgia for me. EarthBound was just one example as it occurs in other games. Smartball might've been hit by something as well, can't recall.

2. All games work. And they work exactly like how it would be played on an SNES, as opposed to having minor graphical/speed problems here and there. Super Mario RPG running on the latest version of ZSNES, IIRC, is like reading a book with the lights going on and off constantly. While it's still playable, the ZSNES team could have at least done something to fix that. They didn't, so byuu went ahead and said "fuck them" and decided to make an (unoptimized) emulator that makes damn well sure everything works fine.

3. Who the fuck really cares about what byuu thinks at this point, other than him not admitting that his emulator is probably the most unoptimized and unrealistically resource-intensive program on the planet? I admit, it's getting to the point where, if the system requirements keep going up, I won't even be able to run the emulator any more. Honestly, I'm kind of glad he went ahead with his own project instead of constantly hounding other people's work.
