You've yet to define better... all you've done is say "x is better than y."

Does better = more features? Or does better = more accurate emulation? When it comes to consoles, there are two very defined groups. I'm guessing you lean more towards the first group.

Everyone here already agrees bsnes is the best emulator of any console emulator; no question there. But a lot of the code in MESS was also thanks to byuu.

Please explain how Kega does Genesis and SMS better than MESS. Not 32x or SegaCD, we know Kega does those better. Just Genesis and SMS.

Please explain how Ootake/Magic Engine does PC Engine better than MESS. Note that I paid for a Magic Engine key over ten years ago.

Please explain how VBA does GB/GBC better than MESS. Not GBA, just GB and GBC.

Please explain how Stella is better than MESS.

Be advised that these are all the emulators for each category that I also link to from my website; that's how highly I regard these (as you say you regard MESS). I'm simply asking you to explain how they are better, other than saying "they just are."

Note that I am simply interested in how accurate the emulation is. I despise fake graphic filters other than HLSL, and I don't record videos. I just like playing the games with my favorite controller.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
