I was just wondering how come when I play a snes emulator, i have no problem switching to something in the background with any delay. When I open the gens emulator, first thing that happens is that my screen gets this little glitch on the screen where it turns black for a sec as if my screen flickered and then loads the program normally. Is there a reason why it does that? When I load the snes emulator it opens just like a normal program with no flickering on my screen. Yes, the emulator works fine with everything else(roms and whatnot), but I wanted to know if I needed to change a certain option or is it also happening with other people's pc also? I loaded the gens emulator on 3 different pcs and all of them have that slight delay. So I don't think it's my computer. It's not a real big problem for me. I thought maybe I could get some advice to fix it. I tend to switch between the emulator and messenging. I usually have to wait for the delay to go away before I get a chance to type into my message box.
My specs if I wasn't specific enough are:
Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3
Intel Core Duo CPU
2.4 GHz 2.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT
Direct 9x
