"ok". You really must hate the band.

Linkin Park is emo, Sum 41 is nowhere near emo.

What is it exactly that you don't like in ZSNES? Snes9x is good, but in no way better or worse than ZSNES.

Now I know. The word dongle has been bothering me for the longest time.

Street Fighter EX2 Plus vey does exist. Why are yuo missing that file is beyond me, since the romset is widely available and easy to find.

PSX can do 2D very well. the only problem was (and still is to a degree) that Sony is reclutant of having 2D games on their system, sinced they "don't do justice to the system itself" like Sony once said. Besides, arcade ports of those 2D fighting games are usually better than the Saturn ones.

How about you try to change your keyboard layout to korean? I use a japanese word processor and it has it's own built-in keyboard driver (and it has been programmed that way) to interpret romaji and then convert it to kanji/hiragana/katakana respectively. However, if your program isn't this advanced, I don't think you can type korean with your US keyboard even if you change the layout to korean. You might also need an actual korean keyboard.

The only Dance Dance Revolution machine is in the nearest movie theatre, but I haven't tried it, because I suck at dancing. to counter this, I just use StepMania.

I don't know really. The PSX really smoked the Saturn when it came to multiplatform games. Saturn-exclusives are where the fun really is.

I have already emulated it, thank you.

SPUasync method is most likely not needed, since the developer of Eternal SPU plugin says that that this mode may cause problems in games like Valyrie Profile, Star Ocean Second Story, and Metal Gear Solid (basically games that use any sort of SPU IRQ). I've never used Async method and Valkyrie Profile has never frozen on me. Then again, testing doesn't hurt either.

Then use that, since that seems to be the only one working for you.

Indeed, same here.

Now that i think about it, I might have mixed Saturn and Dreamcast when listing Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. It has a PSX port at least.

Yeah, my sentiments exactly. Still, try out the plugins over at Zophar's, you might get lucky. Maybe you've answered this question already, but does the slowdown happen in every PSX game?

And those should be. However, and I'm not entirely sure, having DirectX9.0c while also having a video card that doesn't properly support it can lead to troubles. I'm just guessing so take it with a grain of salt. The bad thing is that you can't uninstall DirectX or downgrade it. Well, you can, but you'll need a 3rd-party uninstaller.

Radiant Silvergun NiGHTS Into Dreams Cotton games Panzer Dragoon 1 & 2 Jojo's Bizarree Adventure Guardian Heroes Of course, there are others, but those are also on other systems.

All DirectX's are free. go to Start --> Run, type in "dxdiag" without the quotes and press Enter. If my memory serves me correct, Radeon 9200 SE only supports DirectX up to version 8. DirectX 9 has too many shader operations included to work properly with 9200s.

Yeah, Resident Evil 4 is indeed one mother of a game. If all REs would have been this cool, we'd be in gaming heaven by now.

maybe I'm just ignorant and stupid, but what in the world is a "dongle"?

This days is completely meaningless to me. Happy Independence Day you yankies.

Kawaks 1.54 is the latest official build as far as i know, but it doesn't have a loader.

Since Raiden III is a Taito game, it's most likely fake. Unless kawaks suddenly started emulating Taito boards as well. A useless tidbit of info: Taito means "skill" in finnish. Carry on now.

I remembered just knw thta the OGL2 plugin uses shaders regardless of whether or not you have those shader options enabled. What version of DirectX are you using anyways. Since you have so much rouble with even the basic plugins, head over to Zophar's Domain plugin page and test all the GPU plugins, exluding the Glide ones (since today's cards don't support Glide without wrappers). Still software plugins should be your best bet.

It's officially supported in Kawaks? Then MAME should work as well.
