It's if you're going for official speedrun records. Speedrunners use emulators to practice their speedruns, but when it comes down to it, they have to use the real deal or it wont count.

Emulation vs. Hardware has always been a hard debate over the years. Some people, myself included prefer Hardware over software if given the option, but if I only have the emulation available, well I guess that's what I have to stick to. Console just feels better than emulation, regardless of how much you can tweak emulators to your advantage.
In addition, both Banjo games are heavily known to have issues when emulated. I heard one has extreme unstable framerates in several areas-- virtually being unplayable and the other one simply crashes 100% of the time in a certain zone, making it completely unbeatable. (But let that be said, this is only 2 games of the entire bunch, which together both games are around $100 together CIB)
I had high hopes when PJ 64 2.0 came out that maybe the lock-out patch may have been fixed, but it doesn't seem so according to people who have tested both ROMs.
i buy all add me
For the most part at least. SNES emulates enough that software power isn't necessary. I've heard people say there's an emulator that emulates the SNES's hardware by about 90% called "BNES" or something, but I also heard you need quite some power on your PC to actually use it. But idk, some people say ZSNES is the worst when it captures hardware emulation, but for me it works fine. I suppose I'd have to try both emulators side by side to get an actual test to see what they mean, because I've heard people say BNES is far superior '-'
But regardless, you are more than right if anything. You don't need much to enjoy what the SNES gives you anyways, so I suppose emulation doesn't play a huge factor in this case.
