Snes9x and Bizhawk are the most commonly used.

I don't think this question is worth making a new topic - is SNES9x 1.43 banned for this game?

This is not true. Only if you are emulating a more modern system, like PS2 - those emulators use a lot of PC's processing power, and can crash your computer if it doesn't meet the emulator's system requirements. The same is true for very old systems (say, Pentium II@266 MHz with 32 MB of RAM and 16 MB VGA memory) emulating SNES.

But this is also true for native games on your PC - the emulators harm your PC as much as any other games do.

Surprised that the leaderboard has no emulator runs.
