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. | higan's bsnes and bgba cores are its most developed/accurate.

For those that still aren't satisfied, [[RetroArch]] has its own libretro cores of higan and bsnes to use with its interface. | ||
