higan is good for prototyping a snes game you're developing when you don't have a flashcart yet, right?
@typhlosion [source: doing SNES demo stuff]
higan is really accurate (not 100%, but you have to be doing *really* tricky stuff to get it to fail), but it's also not very UX-friendly. bsnes is basically the SNES core of higan, but standalone, and it's much easier to use to check whether something works quickly.
Also, there's a fork of bsnes called bsnes-plus (maintained by @revenant ) with extra debugging features, as well as mesen-s, a standalone (and windows-only but I did get it to work on linux... barely), with even more debugging stuff, so those can come in handy as well
@typhlosion also if you're looking for a flashcart, get an SD2SNES and not a Super Everdrive. (they're working on the new version of the SD2SNES iirc, so better wait for that?)
@typhlosion I don't know (I only have a Super Everdrive with a DSP1... well technically it's neomans but it's sitting in my room, so, ...), but in my experience the SD2SNES is able to boot more (homebrew) ROMs than the Super Everdrive, though it's usually for edgecases like https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=70163 and https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=83692
