Earthworm Jim 2 Sound issue

Hey! I've been using this emulator for a while (like since 2001) and it's quite awesome. Recently that nostalgic bug crawled over my head and I decided to dust off my disc full of roms and download the newest version of this great emulator. I have to say it's really impressive how much progress has been made, and it's almost perfect in every way... well... almost...

The only game I've seen issues of any kind was Earthworm Jim 2, I remember that 10 years ago, the sound was almost perfect, but in this newest version, quite frankly, it's a mess. The graphics emulation is 100% perfect, but without the sound, it's not the same... Is there any way to fix this? or this is a general problem with this game only?

It's a general problem that applies to lots of games with critical timing, since zsnes isn't precise enough. Nothing you can do except use better emulators (or just plain wait, if patience is your virtue) for now.

Haha, I asked the exact same question 10 years ago.

I suggest using bsnes, if you have a good enough computer. Otherwise, it might be better to just go on ebay and buy a cart of it (which I eventually did).

Go buy the PC version ._. contains more levels iirc and works on all "home" oriented versions of Windows since Windows 95c.

Avoid Snes9X v1.52, if you value your hearing.

SNESGT is a good choice here as well. But if you're not on Windows, bsnes is your only shot at the moment :/

Ok, thanks for the help, I'm avoiding/not getting the PC version, because I've seen in lots of forums that it misses a stage or two, getting the cart (again) would not be an option, 'cause I don't have a SNES since '97 or so (hence why I use the emulator). For now, I'm playing the Genesis version wich quite frankly, sucks... really hard... but it's better than nothing and the game itself is as fun as it ever was, despite the uglyness of the Genesis version.
