Those also have some significant tradeoffs between emulation accuracy and speed, though because they were focused on playable games at speed, not necessarily perfect accuracy.
The later emulators have tried to do low level emulation to get accurate cycle counts and whatnot to make it as close as possible to a real SNES.
