you really don't get it, huh? nobody has stated that MESS is the best emu for NES or SNES or GBA. for those systems, standalone emus offer a better experience and not a single dev denies that it's easy to find specific games for those systems which do not work in MESS.
OTOH, we have pointed your attention to other systems for which standalone emus are at the same levels of MESS, if not below (let me mention once more, Lynx, A2600, Intellivision, Macintosh and Vectrex). You have completely fail to prove us wrong for these systems, and you keep mentioning fabulous options that other have and MESS don't, without specifying any...
Do you want cheats? Open the MAME/MESS debugger Do you want online? Check MAMEHub Do you want to export movies? use -aviwrite Do you want fancy filters? check HLSL or GLSL, depending on your OS
MESS offers all the option MAME has, which means most of the features one searches in emulators (with the possible exception of stable save states and rewind options) and, as a bonus, you can use MESS also on Unix or MacOSX machines
These are facts. It would be nice if you could stick to facts rather than opinions too, in your replies...
