Heads-up, peeps. If you enjoy the sweet snowfall and interface of ZSNES but not its inaccuracy and hacky ways of doing things, there's a version called ZMZ that uses Libretro cores of SNES9X (included) or BSNES for its emulation but retains the interface.

With the libretro core version of Electroniq, I can finally easily load and play Acorn Electron games on my Android device (via RetroArch) using the touchscreen! 😎

Awful organization that demands emulator devs hand over all their work so libretro can claim ownership and control. Duckstation dev nearly quit the scene over the harassment.

Really REALLY good article about PS2 and 6th gen rendering concepts
okay wow, I just found that sometime in July this year, the libretro core for PS2 went from almost unusable to *really* good
it even supports supersampling down to native (something that PCSX2 is weirdly stubbornly against) so you can get a flawless vibe that's still way cleaner on modern screens

install retrobat which comes with multiple options for emulators for most systems and just don't use any of the libretro cores, this way you still have a library
