The best sound/graphic settings for zsnes?
Just wondering what the best graphic and sound settings are for zsnes, that give the best picture and the best sound possible. I'm not worried about performance issues. What are the best filter and sound settings possible?

Well, the default is a safe bet. Beyond that, any extras are a matter of preference. You can use different filters for the audio if you want to improve sound quality (though, the default simulates the SNES sound hardware more accurately as far as filters.) and for video, whatever filter YOU think looks best. There's no actual best, it's up to _you_ to make that determination!

If there were a single definitive best setting, why would they even have all the other options? Experiment.

Well, ZSNES is an emulator and it suppose to mimic real SNES hardware as close as possible. Default assumption is that people want to experience SNES games as they were meant to be experienced by game developers when they are using ZSNES. No emulator can't match real console 100%, but closest results would be something like:
32 KHz stereo sound with Gaussian
Resolution must be multiple of 256x224 and after that it should be stretched horizontally to match 4:3 aspect ratio which old TVs did automatically. For example I use 896x672 custom resolution windowed. My CRT-monitor resolutio is 1024x768.
NTSC filter is a must for original retro feeling. You might think that it looks bad, but it suppose to look like that and game developers tweaked graphics for these conditions where old TVs couldn't produce sharp image. Some colors can actually look a bit wrong, if you don't use NTSC filter.
If you want something else than original SNES experience, then I can't help with it because everyone see the world a bit differently and it is their decision, what sounds or looks best. Try different filters and pick the one you like.
