Sadly, this is already happening. bZSNES is actually a thing now, since so many popular SNES romhacks will only run in ZSNES (i.e. not on real hardware, and not on a more accurate emulator like Snes9X or Higan), but ZSNES is written in 32-bit x86 assembly and contains a massive security hole that's been known for a while but hasn't been fixed.

It's even described as "a portable ZSNES emulator".

Jesus, you're not joking.

https://github.com/mudlord/bzsnes-libretro is a port of some kind (NSFW commits possibly). Has byuu gone into hiding? His Twitter is protected and I can't find any safe source for the "original" bzsnes.

byuu posted an article on his blog (byuu.org) just two days ago. His emulator was called bsnes, not bzsnes, maybe that's the source of confusion? bsnes has now evolved into higan, so that might also be why you can't find it. The higan source is mirrored on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/higan/higan

edit: sorry, wasn't aware of the (april fools) bzsnes release, realise now that I'm probably more confused than you are.

edit 2: the "original" bznes source (AFAICT) is on archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20151105124237/http://snesemu.bl...
