Emulators?

Hey, I read somewhere (a while ago) about a Warcraft Emulator for pocket pc. Can't find anything though, but it got me thinking, what emulators (if any) do my fellow aximsite members use? Please no rom links! Here is my list of emulators right now;
Project 64
Jnes
Snes9x
VBA
BGB

Just curious about this comment?

How can you judge if it's running at "full speed" or not? It's a virtual machine, so how can you say it's not full speed? Components come in a variety of different speeds/variations, so unlike a SNES emulator, there is not a set speed to compare it to.

If you mean that it doesn't run at the full speed of the machine that you're running it on, of course it doesn't.... it's having to emulate various pieces of hardware/software, so obviously that in itself is going to take up some of your machine's resources.

Overall though, it's a pretty solid product now. Much better than MS Virtual PC and Virtual Server, IMHO.

I haven't seen anyone mention ZSnes yet. That's still rocking after all these years.

And you gotta love MAME.

I've always prefered Zsnes to 9x, Zsnes was easier to use back in the day when I was just a lad.

Zsnes is pretty much the only one I use, now and then GBC or Genesis. I forget what program I use for Genesis, I think Gens.

After all these years, excluding nostalgic reasons, the only systems with a substantial amount of quality games are the Super Nintendo and NES. The Genesis comes close, but it really just wasn't as good.

The Gameboy is kickin' too. Okay, it's official - i am a total nintendo fan boy!
