Is the SNES emulator Snes9x no longer trusted?

I remember back in the day the emulator Snes9x was one of the best emulators for Super Nintendo emulation, but it's not on the Megathread. Is it no longer trustworthy or was it just missed?

Sorry if this was already asked in this community. I would've searched but Lemmy (or at least my Lemmy instance, I suppose) doesn't seem to have a search function for intra-Community searching.

Cheers.

It's good for low-power devices that can't handle more demanding emulators, but bsnes is considered the gold standard for accuracy now.

BSNES isn't even on the Megathread though... There's only Mesen2, which only has development releases available, not stable releases.

No clue why it isn't on there, but bsnes is available as part of higan, ares (kinda?), standalone, or as one of many bsnes RetroArch cores (bsnes-mercury is generally the most recommended from my experience).

ETA: If you're not into RetroArch, I'd highly recommend ares.
