higan is a project that originally separated from Near's previous SNES emulator [[bsnes]] when ~~they started adding~~ more system cores.

higan is a project that originally separated from Near's previous SNES emulator [[bsnes]] when more system cores were added.

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.

Near noticed that higan's UI is not for everybody and made a standalone version of [[bsnes]] that is developed in parallel with higan's SNES core and has a Qt UI that's just like the earlier versions~~. They~~ also ~~worked~~ on ~~the~~ new multi-system emulator [[byuu (emulator)|byuu]] that ~~aims~~ to combine higan with the ease of use of bsnes. For those that still aren't satisfied, [[RetroArch]] has its own libretro cores of higan and bsnes to use with its interface.
