NES support is not really good compared to NEStopia or Nintendulator or FCEUX, especially for non-standard mappers. Sega Systems are accurately emulated, OTOH.
What I don't like is the fact that it focuses a lot on the 3d viewer (which I don't really care about) and the fact that it uses this closed source format GAME to put together the ROM dump with scans of the box and a lot of things that might very well fit in external datfiles / cfg files. I consider it a waste of time and efforts, but to each his own.
Concerning the hate towards the developer, he used to be pretty arrogant in his first appearances on the web, but at least he tends to share his finding, e.g. on the SMS hardware, despite his emulator being closed source.
Overall, except for the usual byuu's complaint "it's easy to claim being uber-accurate when you don't show your source", I understand why some users might like it. It's just not the kind of emulator I'm interested in.
