      I am a bit confused about which version of PocketSNES (therefore which version of snes9x) is the ARMSNES core based upon. If I remember correctly, lr-snes9x2002 used to be called lr-pocketsnes and lr-snes9x2005 was lr-catsfc (or something similar).

      Any ideas?

          ARMSNES appears to have been forked from PocketSNES in 2012. PocketSNES doesn't seem to have had any updates since 2004. From what I found through a quick search, the latest version of PocketSNES is based on snes9x 1.43.

            @mediamogul armsnes is pocketsnes with a few minor changes - the original repository was removed/closed and is just provided for historic reasons. I would just stick with lr-snes9x2002

              Ah, I see. I actually use lr-snes9x2010 myself. Is lr-snes9x2002 preferable still?

                @mediamogul depends which RPI you are on. It's faster but less accurate. I wouldn't use armsnes over snes9x2002, but you don't want to use snes9x2002 unless you have a rpi1/zero
