Many here have said that a lot of ZSNES' most frustrating sound and timing "bugs" will never be fixed because the core of the emulator was created at a time when knowledge was so limited that pretty well everything had to be half-assedly MacGyvered in order to get a majority of SNES games fully playable with only minor issues.
So out of curiosity, when will a point be reached at which further improvement of ZSNES is just not possible with the current emulation core?
For the casual user, like me ZSNES is perfect the way it is. I have never really had a problem of any note with the emu. It seems that it is just a matter of getting the most accurate emulation possible, at the moment.

actually, for the casual user, ZSNES is "good enough", just look on the bug tracker to see how many games have noticable bugs/crashes in them.
I'm just happy the project is alive. All that time stuck at 1.36 sucked. Console emulation is going to be great in 2005. Zsnes, MagicEngine and now Gens are being actively developed again.

Currently we are improving each part of the core as we need to to fix each case and implementing new research as it becomes available, I Think this is reasonable.
