So firslty, what if any, SNES emulators do you guys use? And secondly, why the heck is PocketSNES so dang slow? 300 MHz should be more than adequate to play games designed to run on a <4 MHz 256 color console. =P
The snes had seperate graphics and sound chips, and alot of games had additional co processors in the cartridge... the xscale has to do graphics/sound/everything on the xscale core, its deffinatly possible to run snes games full speed, but will require decent code to be woven ;)
