Do you have Windows 7...this would have helped. Sometimes its not a matter of trying different plugins only, its also trying different settings. Funny, in certain cases people like me didn't understand that Emulators are Software, "tricking the computer" to play this games and most problems come from a
software issue.
Its why using a different emulator worked, otherwise you would have to switch out your hardware, if it was
a hardware problem.
A Computer may be a top notch Gamer's Computer, but if you don't have the right .dll file, that emulator ain't starting.
