Either snes9x standalone app or the snes9x core in RetroArch. Dealers choice. If you just want to play SNES, go for the standalone app. If you're looking to get more into emulation as a whole or you want RetroAchievements, get RetroArch.
What’s the difference between the different codes on retro arch? I’m using the bsnesx accuracy, whatever that means.
For bsnes, accurate uses more resources to emulate more accurately. Some emulators aren't as accurate. They aren't exactly 1-to-1 compared to SNES. That doesn't mean they perform worse. In fact, it often means they perform better. But running better (or different in any way) means it's a less accurate emulation. The other versions of bsnes and snes9x are less accurate emulators, but require less resources.
From a practical standpoint, I'm not sure you'd even notice the difference between any of them. Snes9x takes significantly less resources than bsnes though. Unless accuracy is what you care about snes9x is the better option.
Thanks for the details. One difference I noticed between bsnes and snes9x is that I could only get the 2nd player working in Kirby Super Star in Snes9x, not bsnes
