Yeah, though 100% compatibility is going to be quite elusive for a while. Higan is the most prominent example, but there probably are more examples for other pre-NES consoles, or less complex systems, systems with a limited number of games. I think Mednafen's Virtual Boy emulator has 100% compatibility (dunno about total down-to-the-cycle accuracy) in all commercial games (there are like less than 30 VB games or something).

Ahh yes but more importantly these emulators aim to accomplish that very task, Dolphin in all its glory never did. In the beginning it was very high-level, I'm sure it still is and by no means is Dolphin planning on accurate emulation at this point. As long as you take this approach, like many other emulators do, you will never reach %100. So really the question is what is the goal? Dolphin is without a doubt aimed at playing games. Yeah I said it, but let's face it, that is what most of us are here for. Very few of us even admire the working that goes in to it( I'm not pointing fingers here) and more importantly know what type of work goes in to it. As I said on another post, Dolpinh has the power of numbers. It's really good at what it does and offers so much to the public. Though in all of its glory its not accurate emulation. Accurately emulating a snes has the same requirements as dolpinh, image what dolphin would require. And Higan is not emulating down to the transistor level, it to makes many guesses. However it now plays every snes game 100% correctly, and that is something...

I tried to write a gui for Higan in hopes someone would jump in but no go on that. Higan really needs a face lift.

If anyone is curious this was it.
