It's worth noting that the Virtual Console SNES emulator doesn't really have a reputation for inaccuracy. For sure it's not as accurate as Higan/bsnes but by all accounts it's pretty decent. Of course it was made for running in different constraints. It runs many games very well on the New 3DS' 804MHz ARM11 or the Wii's 729MHz PowerPC G3. Bsnes won't run much in those constraints.

IIRC each game for the Virtual Console comes bundled with its own emulator, tuned specifically to run that game. So there is no single Virtual Console 'emulator'.

I thought this was true for N64 Virtual Console games, but most older consoles were using pretty much the same emulator.
