Let's clear the air of misinformation. BSNES can't take advantage of multiple cores because it uses cooperative multi-threading. It's coded multiple threads, but uses ONE processor core. http://byuu.cinnamonpirate.com/?page=libco It was a software design CHOICE by byuu for performance. With the spec...

Haha, that's an argument I'm going to use from now on against people who don't want sex before marriage. "You might marry a dude without even knowing." In the case I mentioned the dude actually had sex with "her". He had a very well made artificial vagina apparently. That's why ...

That is solely your opinion. I have gone on record as preferring 2xSAI to HQ2x in most cases both are offered. It just looks visually better to ME. You can't say that any filter is 'lower quality' than another. It's a matter of personal preference. Would you call the difference between grayscale an...

Nestopia isn't the only modern emulator that doesn't support the 2xSaI filter. Mednafen only supports the HQX, ScaleX, and NTSC filters. And if I remember correctly, bsnes didn't support it either. I suppose emulator authors think it is cumbersome to support it since it is getting old, doesn't have...

Do you have an interface design for this SPC Player? I hope your player will have visual hardware status such as Super Jukebox. Aside from SPCTool, it's the only player that does this that I can think of and it's damn cool. I've actually even used it as crude, easy debugging for some SPC700/DSP work...

Right. What good is gun control reforment? How many of these incidents take place by people who have legally purchased licensed guns?

Those people who are determined to get guns are going to get guns regardless of gun control laws. No amount of laws can stop drugs and no amount of laws can stop guns.

The deal just went down a few months ago. They've only released one minor update since then. Of course the current version is OK.

Antec NeoHE 430W which has run the system great for a year and a half. It has power distributed in all the right places. The voltage lines are stable and never falter. Runs rings around the 500W supply that came with the case originally. I don't see how the power supply is related.
