==Review==
The ZSNES developers focused on speed over [[accuracy]], so a hefty amount of games have bugs (and some just plain crash). It is recommended to use [[Snes9x]] or [[RetroArch]] with the bsnes core(s) instead.
 
===Problems===
[[File:Kirby3-forest.gif|frame|SNES Pseudo Hi-Res translucency]]
*Compatibility is lower than any modern emulator due to low accuracy to real SNES system.
 
*Games crashing - Der Langrisser (freezes after 2-3 hours), Super Mario RPG (freezes in many different points of the game), Star Ocean and many other games have freezing and crashing issues.
 
*Bad sound emulation - A ton of games sound terrible on ZSNES; Earthworm Jim 2 has no sound effects.
 
*Super FX not clocked correctly - Star Fox runs twice as fast as it should.
 
*Transparency - Kirby Dreamland 3, Mecarobot Golf, Jurassic Park and any game that uses pseudo hi-res translucency wont display correctly.

==ROM Hacks==
Many ROM hacks and ROM hacking tools were made using ZSNES as a testing platform because of its popularity. However, because of the inaccuracies of the emulator, these tools and hacks are broken on other, more accurates accurate emulators and real hardware.

*You can swap controllers at any time
*You can change emulator latency on the fly to compensate for choppiness at the expense of slight iinput input lag
*It works just as well with between a dialup user and someone on DSL
