    Check your private messages, and note that the N64 emulator is not perfect. Some of the bigger games can't run due to RAM issue on Xbox. If you might have known, Xbox only has 64MB of RAM. Some of the N64 games are 96MB, 128MB, 256MB, etc.. But the SNES emu on the other hand, is almost perfect.

    The SNES emu (xSNES9x) is more than perfect, it enhances too. Much better than SNES emulators running on the DC, PS2 etc. Runs pretty much everything at 100% bar those with special CPUs.

    Not really NeoBlade, I found a few games that are just not perfect. For example, Bio-Metal. The music in that game is super slow for some reason. Donkey Kong Country has a few slowdown. Street Fighter Alpha 2 is just plain terrible.

    Have you tried those games on the Dreamcast emu? Or PS2? It'll be a lot worse, believe me.

    As for SFA2 yeah it is rather poor. Its something to do with the ROM itself, much like Tales of Phantasia, Star Ocean, a certain Rockman game and some others. I'd rather play SFA3 though anyday via MAME.

    Trouble is in the middle and latter stages of the SNES's life DSP's were introduced. Fair enough Super Mario Kart and PilotWings had a DSP but they were not as advanced as the SFX nor ones used for transparency and audio decompression.

    You can fix SFA2 on the SNES by downloading a graphics patch but that game alone pushed the SNES quite hard in different ways. Also you can try the latest WIP versions of xSNES9x.

    As for Bio-Metal, I've never heard of the game before sorry. Everything else though is as close as the PC version as possible considering the amount of time spent on it.

    Hehe oh yeah the Xbox port of the snes emulator is so much better in every way compared to the PS2 version, I think it was called Snes-Station. Yeah I remember running into error a lot of times or the roms don't load correctly and such. I'm very thankful for the Xbox version though cuz I don't really mind those little "glitches" at all.

    Yeah me neither. At the end of the day these programmers created and ported these programs of their own will, using their own time. Kudo's to them really.

    I think the only addition would be NetPlay using xSNES9x but thats asking far too much as the code would probably need a total overhaul. I'm more than happy with xSNES9x though. You can never beat a game of Bomberman, Super Mario Kart or Mario ^_^

    As for the N64 emu I've not tried. Theres only one game I want and thats Sin and Punishment. I had the chance to buy the game and regret not doing so at the time >_<

    for the n64 emu,get the surreal64....there's a list on xbox-scene that tells you what works and what doesn't. I foprget where on the scene it is,you'll have to look.

    Yeah Surreal64 is great, it combines 3 of the most "popular" emulators and let you choose which one is better to use. I find 1964 to be the best out of the bunch though, most games seem to run on it when they fail to run on UltraXLE.
