    I've tried both and even though ZSNES is better in a couple ways I've always enjoyed SNES9x better I don't know why.

    I still keep a copy of ZSNES for Star Ocean though
    So I make games now sort of. Check the out the one I have in the IGF this year, its totally free: www.mackvswindows.com

    Also add me on things.

    ZSNES. First one I downloaded that worked (second one I downloaded, the other one didn't work very well for me...) so I just stayed with it. Never had a reason to not use it.

    Actually, I also thought the sound for ZSNES was better, although, after MONTHS of having SNES9X resting in its own miserable directory, I decided to give it another shot, just for kicks.

    After reading the readme file, and messing with the sound settings for a few minutes, I found a way to make the sound work fine! (before, it had a lot of static) So, I played Super Metroid for a couple of minutes and... went back to ZSNES!

    Not that I didn't like 9X, but I guess I'm just too attached to ZSNES, it's been the best ever since I first used it...

    And about the GUI being more "User Friendly" in 9X, I doubt it... It's prettier, yes, but ZSNES' GUI is much more straight-forward and ugly too...

    And ZSNESWin can run on window mode too (16-Bit color depth desktop) and is easy to save, load and pick states with (F2, F4 & F3, respectively)...

    I forgot to say that Snes9x tends to crash more than ZSNES, this, obviously, on my computer.

    I picked Zsnes, easier to use, has alot of customization, basically I custom colored the GUI with black and green so that's probably why I like it so much. And now I have the little dealy that I downloaded so I could play SFA2.

    I beleive this thread needs to be closed as it is about a year old.

    Since I am hear I might as well say zsnes as it was what I first used and runs most games better. I also like the way netplay works on it.
