Changed protection level for "Higan": Counter-productive edit warring ([Edit=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))
==Overview==
higan is a project that originally separated from Near's previous SNES emulator [[bsnes]] when Near started adding more system coreswere 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. Near , while also worked working on the a new multi-system emulator [[byuu (emulator)|byuu]] that aims aimed 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.
