What emulators do you use for SNES, SEGA and NES?

This has probably been covered many times. If someone has a link to another thread that would be great too.

I have been messing around with this now and am not sure which ones would be best. At the moment I have Nestopia for NES, GENS for SEGA and using MESS for SNES.

MESS pops up a message to say the SNES is not fully working, I would rather not see this. I have not set up my actual control panel yet so just getting everything working with the keypad. ESC seems to be pause on the emulators, surely I can map ESC to exit the emulator. Tried it in Nestopia and it says that key is already mapped but I can't see it on the list of mapped keys.

If you can compile your own MAME/MESS you can simply remove the nag line. If you're interested I can look up the file and line for you.

Yeah that would be great of you had the time, I wouldn't be familiar with compiling to be honest but if it is not tricky I would certainly give it a go

phulshof:
In src/emu/ui/ui.c:
In the function void ui_manager::display_startup_screens(bool first_time, bool show_disclaimer):


--- Code: ---<br />        // disable everything if we are using -str for 300 or fewer seconds, or if we're the empty driver,<br />        // or if we are debugging<br />//      if (!first_time || (str > 0 && str < 60*5) || &machine().system() == &GAME_NAME(___empty) || (machine().debug_flags & DEBUG_FLAG_ENABLED) != 0)<br />                show_gameinfo = show_warnings = show_disclaimer = show_mandatory_fileman = FALSE;<br />
--- End code ---

The if line is the one that needs to be commented out, as per the code above. It will make MAME always execute the second line, which sets all the show variables to false.

I'd take any recommendations with a grain of salt since a lot of people stick with the first thing they got working.  That doesn't necessarily make it the best.

I used uncle T's setup guide to get started, so for older consoles I'm using most of the ones referenced there.

It's pretty dated and now that I have some experience, I think the folder structure is atrocious, but I wouldn't have ever started if not for that guide.

For Genesis I use Kega Fusion.  It also covers master system, game gear, & sega CD.
I love Kega Fusion because it's simple.

For NES, I'm think I'm using FCE Ultra (FCEUX).

For SNES, ZSNES
