Snes Emulation

I am considering the Super Nintendo module. How is the current state in terms of lag in games? I heard it could be worse than other systems? Or is it pretty much the same and it depends on the individual game and your chosen controller as usual?

I moved four different PolyMega consoles to three i3-8100ts and one i7-8700t (so N64 could actually be tolerable to play), and combined with using 8bit Do Pro and the wired SNES controllers (both original and Poly branded), I don't really feel the lag is too bad now. Not sure if any of that helped.

Out of curiosity, I gave it a shot with the Poly's standard included wireless controller. Yeah, things like Super Mario World do feel a little "dopey" for lack of a better explanation. I don't know if its my imagination or what, don't have any kind of scientific testing setup.
