All the best are listed there. I don't know any better ones, but ZSNESW is certainly the best for SNES games.

I have no problem with the SNES emulator actually, but some minor bugs with the NES one
mine is RockNES, is there an emulator that is better than that??

[timeticker]

I've used NESticle for some time and it worked for me. Easy interface and no problems running a game.

Gens is a good Genesis emulator, but there's also an offshoot from the project called Gens32 Surreal which isn't on this site. It's supposed to add a little more compatibility.

I like TurboGrafix Turbo Duo games, but unfortunately the only good TG16 emulator (Magic Engine) is not free.

Gameboy = Visualboy advanced.
Mastersystem = Dega
n64= Project64

KEGA Fusion is far superior to Gens. It has way more features and runs as good if not better than Gens.

I'll have to try out this KEGA Fusion. Gens was the first emulator I've tried and I've had no problems with it, except with the Dark Wizard CD game. (Might just be a bad download though - the game crashes during the intro animation.)

As of present day, the best emulator for NES is the new VirtualNES, which has been translated and brought to us by our friends in Japan. It has the best compatibility of any NES emulator I've ever found, and can also add screen effects and sync the refresh rate so you don't get those weird lines like one part of the screen was refreshed before another and the picture shifts slightly for a split second.

For SNES, the reigning king is still ZSNES...SNES9x still trails behind. ZSNES has better compatibility, better performance, and a lot more options and effects.

For Sega Mastersystem, Gamegear, Genesis, 32x and CD, the best emulator is Kega Fusion. It's faster and more compatible than Gens, and there are no saving problems with CD and you can even load state with Sega CD games which you can't with Gens.

For Playstation, it's ePSXe. You can also enhance the graphics of Playstation games using different plugins and shader packs (downloadable from the interwebs)

For N64, Project 64 is still the best. I recommend finding the best graphics plugin for your system.

For Dreamcast, look no further than nullDC. It's the first fullspeed fully-functional emulator for Dreamcast, and it's still rather active in development.

now, MAME is pretty good for most arcade games, but sometimes you just want to specialize. Nebula is specialized for most Neo Geo, Capcom CPS1 and CPS2 games, and will run just fine on slower systems when MAME doesn't.

For Amiga, I like to use Amiga Forever. It may not be free, but it's the best out there.

For Gameboy/Gameboy Color/Gameboy Advance, Virtual Boy Advance is good. OR
to play DS games as well, use No$GBA ("No Cash GBA") It emulates DS fairly well, but not as good as the real thing.

According to my view emulators are most often used to play older video games on personal computers and modern video game consoles, but they are also used to play games translated into other languages or modify (or hack) existing games. I used Gens emulator and i think it is the best one. Gens is a free Sega Genesis emulator. It runs on Windows systems (using DirectX), on Linux (using SDL) and many more platforms. it has some features like..

# saving console state (without relying on in-game save ability)
# recording what buttons are pressed and slowing the gameplay down so it is used in making of tool-assisted speedruns
# support for Game Genie cheats
# support for Netplay
