While higan is the most accurate emulator, the vanilla build may induce to some confusion due to the "Advent of Gamepaks". As the author puts it [https://byuu.org/articles/emulation-4/ here], bsnes 0.73 is user-friendly though already 5-6 years old, thus lacking many of the recent emulation improvements. It's recommended to use forks based on this version instead, such as bsnes-classic or bsnes-plus, which backport many of the improvements from new releases. As of now, higan only maintains the accuracy profile, while higan 097 is the last one getting "performance" and "balanced" optimized less CPU-intensive versions.
Users of the vanilla higan builds will need to learn how to set "game folders" and separate co-processor roms and things like that. In case users are inapt for this, they can instead use the aforementioned bsnes forks, or still use the retroarch bsnes cores (as well as bsnes-mercury, a fork which restores HLE chip functionality on higan), all of these are close up-to-date with the main version's latest developments and offer an easy way to set up your roms.
