[SuperSSonic]

I have a problem with any emulator it plays fine full speed at the start but will eventually start to slow down to just about unplayable then speed up again to full speed any one know of a way to fix this?

System Specs:

Windows XP
Pentium 4 2.66 GHz
448 MB RAM
ATI RS200M
DirectX 9.0c

Just any system Genesis, 32x, Snes, or N64 those are the ones that do it only one i think that doesn't slow down is Kawaks.

You need more RAM... XP takes up alot of it.

Yes it does take alot. but i have no trouble running anything with 256 mb of ram.

Seems like a memory leak somewhere, check your processes before the slowdown, and after

Sounds like the Hard Disk just gave up the ghost...
