Emulation

[chrono eric]

I messed around with that awhile ago, but I found the version out then to be less than I expected. Can it actually emulate full games now, and without serious bugs?

No$GBA is awesome if you don't mind lack of window resize capability. I'm really interested in finding a DS emulator capable of disabling background layers like ZSNES; anyone know of such a holy grail? It would make sprite capturing a cinch.

Can't know exactly, only tried it with FFIV and FESD. Both emulate better than with NO$GBA, and at a decent speed too (at least for FESD).

I've got a DOS emulator thingy called ScummVM that I've been using to play Sam & Max: Hit the Road

I use ZSNES for a couple SNES ROMs (mostly fan translations/re-translations and a mod)...

   ->Chrono Trigger (Compendium Retranslation)
   ->Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes (beta)
   ->Der Langrisser, Dragon Quest V (byuu translation)
   ->Live-A-Live (Aeon Genesis translation 2.0)

   ->Breath of Fire II

   ->Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
   ->Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon
   ->Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis
   ->Tales of Phantasia

There's a mod for that already, but i never looked into it as that's the least meaningful missing feature (behind numerous bugfixes [forgivable since it's still a current system not counting DSi), save states & fast forward)...

What I use for emulation:
For GBA: VBA -- Sword of Mana, FF remakes, TO:KoL and other RPGs;
For N64: Project 64 -- Zelda games;
For PSX: epsxe & pSX -- lots o' RPGs;
For PS2: pcx2 -- FFXII; and
For SNES: bsnes, snes9x & ZSNES -- RPGs (too many to list).

Would I be able to run PCSX2? I have 2.66 Core I7, GTX 260. I plan on overclocking it to 3.6 or 3.8 soonish, but I just got it put together.

What do you have in terms of memory?

V, Revenant Wings works on NO$GBA? Last I heard it didn't. But admittedly, I haven't really kept up with the progress of it. Guess I better head over there and download it then.

You're over-qualified for said emulator -- expect no problems (that is unless you have hardware compatibility problems).

Sweet. Just overclocked to 3.6GHz and it's running stable.

I wanna overclock; I can never get over 68% on Persona 4 during actual gameplay. Sooo my question is, is it really risky/difficult to overclock?

EDIT: Wow, this is lower than I thought:
Processor: Genuine Intel CPU    575 @ 2.00GHZ
Memory (RAM): 1.00 GB

UGH.

Did you build that yourself? If not I don't think you will be able to overclock. I know pc companies like Dell, HP, Gateway and such won't allow you to overclock in the bios. It seems like your due an upgrade though. You could get a nice AMD Athlon Phenom 2 right now for pretty cheap.
