[General Discussion] The Emulation Thread

Zsnes - The best snes emulator and its compatible with Zbattle to play a friend online but it currently only supports 2 players. Snesx9 supports 4.

ePSXe - Tons of plugins to make it run faster for your computer and it does a much better job at smoothing out the games than what the ps2 does. It also supports Kaillera but its not perfected.

Chankast - I just got this one and I was hesitent on trying it cause I thought no current dreamcast emulator works but if u get ur options right u can get games to run smooth. You may need a fast computer but I've already played Marvel vs Capcom 2 with good results ^_^. No online for this one.

Gens - Havn't tried it much but I was able to play games smoothly although I couldn't get the sound to run right but I was able to play on Netplay with no problem and it supports sega cd.

MAME - My favorite emulator of choice. Tons of roms, no problems during gameplay and just about all the games runs great when playing online. I've played mvc, kof 98-03, samurai showdown, metal slug , and lots of street fighter games on this. It's just so awsome ^_^ I just wish 3d games ran better and newer games were supported, I'd like to play MvC2 online and CvS2. In any case, this is my Arcade emulator of choice.
Did I also mention that this supports 4 players with certain games as long as u have a decent connection

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I actually have the 0.64 version of mame since it was so popular. I never really had any problems with it. So i'm guessing maybe you just need to try a different version or depending on your soundcard you may can to mess around with the sound options till you get it right.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

you should check the options within mame. You might want to try this version:

Its simpler and runs faster. I also have the Filter settings checked in and I'm at 48000 in the sample rate. Give it a shot, hope that works for ya cause I know that it runs well for me.

EDIT: I also tried finding Rage of dragons but rom servers are so slow. But from what I hear you need a hacked version of nebula with some neorage bio or something like that. Not really sure if thats the real case though

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
