ive listed my specs in the 3rd post down ;) well i've just checked all my DS roms again, and the low frame rates have only started appearing in kingdom hearts 358/2 days, ff4, ff3 and the 2 zelda games. oddly enough, pokemon pearl, diamond and scribblenauts have started performing better. maybe its time to reset settings >.< and now i've started testing DeSmuME. seems to be performing games better.
i think i'm going to stay away from PCSX2 for now, it uses way too much CPU time for my liking PLUS: augmenting the first post in this thread, Project64 1.6 performs quite well for N64 games. Use Jabo's DX8 1.6 plugin, leave all gfx options at default, but change the fullscreen res to your desktop resolution, and select triple buffer vsync under Full Screen Sync. It's a good idea to stick to Jabo's plugins for this emu. Some games might need another gfx plugin though (Mudlord's Rice Video plugin).
