In the past when I had ZSNES or Project64 on my XP system, I would immediately get a trojan virus afterwards. So as the thread title says, this thread is dedicated to those emulators that are known to be clean:
1. NES emulator: Everybody talks about Nestopia/Nesticle, but I am very suspicious of these emulators that could unleash trojans onto your PC. People rarely mention VirtuaNES (by Japanese programmer Norix) when they talk NES emulation. Well, I have been running VirtuaNES for sometime and I can confirm it is legitly clean emulation software. With TV scanlines enabled/simulated, VirtuaNES games look exactly like the same games I had played on a CRT TV screen as a kid. This emulator can be downloaded here: http://virtuanes.s1.xrea.com/
2. SNES emulator: I haven't found any that are known to be clean. ZSNES/Snes9x are the ones that have infected my system in the past. Could you believe it's been over 20 years since SNES's launch, and not a single emulator like Virtua NES? That's too bad b/c Higan emulator comes close, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK ON XP 32-Bit OS!
