Casual gamers are encouraged to use the compatibility profile, which is twice
as fast under SNES emulation.
Developers and enthusiasts are encouraged to
use the accuracy profile, which is more precise.
Releases are always bleeding-edge — regressions may be present. If stability is required, choose a previous release that has been well-tested.

Incompatible software
The only title that is currently unplayable is "Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shougi 2", as this cartridge contains an ST-0018 coprocessor which contains an undumped program ROM.
All other software is assumed to be fully compatible and bug-free.

About
bsnes is a Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Game Boy Color emulator, that began development on 2004-10-14. It focuses on accuracy and clean code above all else. It never uses speed or compatibilty hacks. As a result, the minimum system requirements are greater than with other emulators.
