Their home page is underselling how cool this is:

It's understandable that they went in this direction. Higan/bsnes has already captured the market for "accuracy" on the SNES emulator front, so this is more going off and doing its own thing rather than re-treading familiar ground.

I suppose my only concern is what it will do to the hardware requirements, since ZSNES' original claim to fame was how well it was able to run on limited hardware, even if it had to do a bunch of clever hacks to get there.

Or, thanks to bsnes/higan/ares[0], SFC accuracy is solved, thus it should be much easier for any new emulator to be accurate.

i.e. accuracy should be the baseline; I understand Super ZSNES is not there yet.

Impressive, but oh man, the transition from the original ZSNES User Interface from my childhood to the UI of Super ZSNES was jarring to say the least. Nostalgia is powerful:

The original is timeless and way more beautiful in my opinion.

Not at least slapping a pixel font on there is an odd choice given the purposeful nostalgia goal.

Nesticle is a nostalgia bomb for me.
