:* It also lacks many of the updates to edge cases, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.S.P._Air_Strike_Patrol ''A.S.P. Air Strike Patrol''], one of two games notorious for manipulating the PPU mid-scanline. It also has problems rendering text, flickering lines near the bottom, and displaying shadows during flight.
* There ''are'' systems Mednafen emulates well and very accurately, but the SNES is not one of them. At that point, you'd be better off using standalone bsnes.
; [[Mesen S]] / Mesen SX/ Mesen2
* Launched in April 2019 from the same author of the top-class NES/Famicom emulator [[Mesen]]. It was slated to have similar features as its famous forebearer.
* Users who increasingly tire of higan's and bsnes' limited user options and cumbersome ROM and save files management may gravitate towards Mesen-S sooner or later, which should run nicely in users' game systems alongside Snes9x or Mednafen (or similar peer).
* Mesen2 is a multi-system emulator from the original author that continues active development.

===Pointing Devices===
====Mouse====
The mouse allowed for control in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Paint ''Mario Paint''] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_%26_Wario ''Mario & Wario''], among other games. Though in later games, mouse support was optional. Some emulators, including Snes9x and [https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/issues/224#issuecomment-939579324 ares]/bsnes/higan, support the Mouse. A ROM hack for ''Mario & Wario'' replaces mouse controls with traditional controls for the emulators that don't support this feature.
