→Overview: fixed typos
==Overview==
higan is a project that orginally separted originally separated from Nears provious Near's previous SNES emulator [[bsnes]] when he started adding more system cores.
higan's bsnes and bgba cores are its most developed/accurate. The Nintendo 8-bit cores are very early in development, and are inferior to other existing emulators; alternatives include [[Gambatte]], [[BGB]], [[Mesen]], [[puNES]], and [[Nestopia]]. Bgba has made amazing strides from v095 on, getting very close to mGBA accuracy. higan also features a WonderSwan/WonderSwan Color core as of v098, which yields satisfactory results. The library-based GUI is not for everyone, though, and doesn't support drag and drop like a lot of other emulators do.
===Game folders===
higan is unique among emulators for introducing the concept of game folders. Game folders were about accurately representing the game cartridge and its metadata. Things like SRAM, cheats, input settings, emulator metadata get stored with the game.
