That varies. MESS emulates some C= carts that VICE doesn't (notably the Z80 CP/M cart), and generally emulates peripherals to a much higher standard than VICE because Curt Coder is super anal about that stuff Yeah, the SID emulation isn't the greatest and some raster splits don't work because we don't have a cycle-by-cycle 6502 yet, but for the average person wanting to check out some commercial games it works quite well.
