Alright everyone - hello to all, I'm new here, and I hope this topic isn't too much of a pain in the ass to anyone.
I used to be really into emulators (mostly MAME, Nesticle, and a Gameboy emulator), but my system has changed, my controller changed, and I'm just getting back into it again.
Predominantly, I'm into Nintendo titles (but all my questions are really towards any of the emulators/platforms).
Okay, so I'm on a machine, running vista professional, and plenty of memory, and what not. All my old emulation tools are pretty out of date (it's been years since I played em), and they either seem buggy on my new system, or slow (contra last night took forever to move through the first level). I also just got an Xbox 360 controller to replace my old controller that no longer had windows support.
I noticed one problem in nesticle also had to do with color, and the setup of it, because while I could use my controller, I couldn't really tell what I was doing in setting up the buttons, because it was black spots on a black background and couldnt really calibrate right.
So I'm just wondering what would be the best emulators for me? I'd prefer for the screens to stay on my desktop, and not maximize my resolution, so I could still pause and do other things if need be, I'm not sure if all emulators support that.
Thanks for bearing with me, any and all tips and directions are appreciated!
Mike
