    Default Emu's

    Not really up on Emu's lately, last one I tried was a PSX Emu, worked on certain games, was buggy and crashed on others, dont know if theyve come on a bit...but I'd say if software of any variety had issues, then it should be free as beta test versions, before any sort of price tag is introduced...

    Are you listening M$ LOL...


    mIGHTY... :wink:
    p.s. No \"up on Emu's\" Comments please!

    Default Emulators

    Was chatting to a friend about this last week... whilst trying to play worms in win XP.

    Wondering whether anybody's yet come up with a windows 95 emulator?

    We use Microsoft Virtual PC which is an excellent product.

    Have SUSE 9.3, Mandrake, Windows 98, Windows 2000 installed.

    Great for checking software compability. 8)

    Was made free a while ago not sure if it still is.

    Default Emulators

    So this allows emulation of alternative o/s from within e.g. XP?

    Cool.

    Will have to take a look.

    Have a dual core set up (and a nifty bit of software called SMP seesaw, which allows processes to be isolated on a processor, so emulation could take place on a processor of its own) and am eager to see how speedily I can get some of the old classics to run!

    Cheers for the quick reply. This should be fun.
