While higan is the most accurate emulator, the vanilla build is not very user-friendly may induce to some confusion due to some... ''unique'' quirks, motivated by a desire for even more compatibilitythe "Advent of Gamepaks". As the author puts it [https://byuu.org/articles/emulation-4/ here], bsnes 0.73 is user-friendly and good enough for 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 regular SNES library (minus oddities like improvements from new releases. As of now, higan only maintains the Satellaview) and accuracy profile, while higan 097 is the most "accurate but still usable" it can get and 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 In order to avoid thatcase users are inapt for this, they can instead use the outdated yet still good aforementioned bsnes 0.73forks, or still use the retroarch bsnes cores (as well as bsnes-mercury, a more optimized forkwhich restores HLE on higan) which still , all of these are close up-to-date with the main version's latest developments of the main version yet are much easier and offer an easy way to useset up your roms.
