* A superb LLE audio engine.
higan (or, as it was known before it expanded its scope to more systems, bsnes) is the most accurate SNES emulator out there, but newcomers who care more about playing games rather than 100% accurate emulation should stick with [https://byuubsnes.org/emulation/bsnesdev/ the most recent version of the forked bsnes core from the same author.]
2. [[Snes9x]]
With certain settings, there is heavy aliasing which we can reduce by increasing the sampling rate.
===Mode 7 scaling bilinear filtering===
Some older version of SNES9X offered bilinear filtering for Mode 7 backgrounds, making them smoother/blurrier instead of pixelated as they are scaled, instead of just applying the bilinear filter on the video output itself.
===Alternative audio interpolation methods===
Most SNES emulators since at least ZSNES 1.3.x support audio interpolation methods beyond the traditional SNES Gaussian interpolation, such as Linear, Cubic, Sinc or even no interpolation, should someone prefer that.
===Higher sample rates===
Likewise, the sample rate can also be set to higher than 32 KHz even in ZSNES 0.150. Though in some versions of ZSNES in the very early 2000s it did cause some artifacts. Nowadays emulators support sample rates all the way to 96 KHz.
