1higan is a Nintendo multi-system emulator that began development 2on 2004-10-14. The purpose of this emulator is a bit different from 3others: it focuses on accuracy, debugging functionality, and clean code. 4 5The emulator does not focus on things that would hinder accuracy. 6This includes speed and game-specific hacks for compatibility. 7As a result, the minimum system requirements for higan are very high. 8 9The emulator itself was not derived from any existing emulator source code, 10such as SNES9x. It was written from scratch. 11Any similarities to other emulators are merely coincidental. 12
