Concerning the recent edit war, it's not reasonable - and even outrageous - to expect an official abandonment announcement. This contradicts the very meaning of abandonment. No updates in almost 4 years is enough statement. Besides, if somewhere in the future a new version does arrive, the status can easily be reverted to active (and re-reverted later if the new version is again followed by years of no activity). - 109.66.203.215 ( talk) 11:43, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
@SamB I tried once to get involved into development, the lead dev is a toxic person to use an euphemism.. Legolas558 ( talk) 15:31, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
I removed the 'accurate' description because it just isn't...accurate. Please don't be a 'tard and revert this change because Zsnes is notoriously known (in it's current form at least) to be one of the most *inaccurate* emulator around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.185.86.136 ( talk • contribs) 07:28, 10 March 2006
somebody might mention something in the article about how ZSNES is able to pass all the tests in Nintendo's SNES Test Cartridge ROM except the actual equipment test - and I understand they're working on that one - quite a feat for an emulator. -- Nerd42 14:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
The fact that ZSNES was, afaik, the first emulator to incorporate hq2/3/4x interpolation might also be worthy of mention in this article. Of course, it'd be nice if a link corroberating this could be provided, as well.
Also, it seems like hq2/3/4x might deserve its own article.. TerraFrost 07:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I would like to mention that ZSNES wasn't just the first emulator to use HQ2/3/4x, but the HQ filter line was created specifically for ZSNES (the Windows version of ZSNES anyway). The author later on released code that could be dropped into other emulators. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.0.170.147 ( talk • contribs) .
Will some expert kindly provide sources for the sentences quoted below, so that I can reach my goal of paring down the Citation Needed references on the following page? http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Category:Articles_with_unsourced_statements&from=Z
SNES has historically been regarded as the most advanced SNES console emulator available; the emulator has pioneered software emulation of the system since originally released.[citation needed]
Today, ZSNES is considered to have the widest support for specialized SNES hardware, and is one of the most popular SNES emulators.[citation needed]

The terms Free Software and Open Source have differences;free software definition can be seen in the Free Software Fundation [1]. So I made a minor change in the History: "Since becoming open source, ZSNES has received" to "Since becoming free software, ZSNES has received ", as the article says, ZSNES is now copyrighted under the GPL, this makes it free software and not just open source. There are discussions about both terms and a lot of names suggested, but we need to be clear on what kind of software or articles we are referring to on our contributions, I consider this important and that's why I made this comment.

Haha. ZSNES has over 30 easter eggs in it now, yet only one is listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.139.47.46 ( talk) 22:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Just noting some changes I made to the article. The article makes a few unreferenced claims, and some of these claims cite references that fail WP:WEB or have nothing to do with said claims. Aside from only removing a couple of these, I just placed a few cite tags where needed.
Looking at the article's history, I would guess it is maintained heavily by the project's authors. While that's fine, keep in mind that these type of articles are highly prone to fancruft. If you aren't careful about keeping references strictly in-line, then it's very likely the article will fail at AfD nomination, which is a very distinct possibility with anything related to personal projects. Just a professional reminder. 74.242.121.147 ( talk) 22:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
ZSNES is also available for Mac OS X as well. http://sites.google.com/site/hectorchu/ Should this be mentioned? ThePenciler ( talk) 08:46, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Probably worth mentioning ZSNES does not support NES. I bet most people would think a SNES emulator would also support NES games, so it would be useful to be explicit about it.-- 82.155.66.167 ( talk) 17:47, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Users of the site SMWCentral have recently discovered a critical bug in ZSNES that allows a malicious ROM to execute arbitrary code (see here for more info). I think we should add this to the article somehow, not quite sure where it would fit though or if it should be mentioned at all. According a reply on that post, ZSNES 1.52 is released even though I can't find it anywhere. -- Telinc1 Talk Contribs Telinc`s Wiki (Wikia)] 16:52,7/26/2015 16:52,7/26/2015 16:52, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
