MESS does PCE and PCE-CD pretty damn well these days - are you sure the other emulators are better?
Yeah I'm positive. If you don't think Bsnes, Nestopia/FCEUX, and Kega Fusion are better than MESS than you are wrong. They are better in nearly every category. They are more accurate, more compatible, more features, more options, more abilities, etc. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. Most of us know this already... but some just won't say/admit it. Nobody with knowledge on the matter, can say that MESS is better at emulating the SNES, NES, and Genesis. But that does not mean MESS is bad. MESS is good. Like I said, MESS is a great project with an awesome goal.

And the point I want to make is that for the popular consoles (NES/SNES/Genesis/GB/GBA) "much better" greatly overstates the user-visible difference when playing a large majority of games. We want people to try MESS, merge or not - contrary to what you may have heard, a lot of the drivers run really well in the common cases. It's not like it was in 2006 or even 2008.
Ok, instead of saying "much better", I'll say "clearly better" or just "better". But now we are just mixing words. I was hesitant to even comment on this subject because I know this is MESS' sisters forum/project with MESS devs & supporters and therefore a sensitive subject. But I did make it a point to say how just because they are better, doesn't mean MESS is bad. As I've said, MESS is a great project with an amazing goal. And I'm sure MESS has greatly improved since a couple years ago. And I totally understand that you want people to try/use MESS. Using MESS helps the project improve. I think what you and other MESS devs are doing is great. And I wouldn't be suprised if in a few years MESS winds up being better than some of them.
