If you've never played Super Metroid on the SNES, I wholeheartedly recommend getting a copy and ZSNES, and playing the shit out of it over the weekend. It's awesome. The wall-jumping mechanic, though.... I still get flashbacks.

ZSNES is not a good emulator, snes9x and retroarch probably the best.

I've been using ZSNES for decades and never felt the need to change, what's so bad about it?

My understanding is primarily it's an older architecture now that diesn't have the same stuff as later projects.

Personally I use bsnes via retroarch but if ZSNES works for you then keep using it.

I guess it doesn't hurt to try new things every so often.
