Considering games that I played properly on SNES9X, like Stunt Race FX, run just fine on BSNES... well I guess cycle exact helps me a bit there, hmm?

You use SNES9X until you have a reason to want cycle-exact emulation, and an ability to run it. I had the former for a long time. Now I have the later too, and suddenly I don't even keep SNES9X on my hard drive.

It's not that it's a bad emulator, it's that it cannot run every game flawlessly. Your more efficient emulator may run 98% of games fine, but I have all of them, and I want them all to run perfectly.

I just don't understand the hostility. It's a free emulator that works perfectly, sacrificing efficiency. There's another free emulator that sacrifices flawless playability for efficiency. Do I rage against SNES9X because it can't play a handful of games, and I have the computer power to handle emulation that can play them all? No. So why do you rage against BSNES over the fact that you lack the computer power to run it? You have your free alternative, and this isn't even a competition. Let it go!
