Which is pretty common for old-school emulators. ZSNES was written in x86 assembly, and Kega-Fusion was mostly assembly except for the UX in C. Both of these were, for a long time, the most popular emulators for their systems.

Thankfully ZSNES hasn't been relevant for some time, though Kega-Fusion is still a big deal because the Sega emulation scene is a mess (I think BizHawk is the only other decent Genesis emulator with Sega CD and 32X support). Hopefully Ares will catch up one day and put everything else out to pasture.
