On WinXP, the new hacked version of Girigiri, doesn´t let you play games from the CDs. The recommended for the emulator is a P4 2.4GHz, 512 RAM and at least a GeForce 4 (?). As for future, well Dreamcast!! But that is not reaaly a future emu, but already shows a great priogress in the last months. Maybe there will be a release on the end of this year (I Hope) The other one I look forward is the PS2. It seems going very nicely. I would give it 4 years to start to play games
