    Please, don't double post, use the EDIT button to modify your last post.

    Gil is used to buy cards for the Triple Triad game.
    The level bars just show your activity here, you have more info if you go to the Experience tab up there.

    I'm moving this to computer corner since you didn't mention what emulator are you using...

    WHAT Emulator is a great start
    Your system details wouldn't go amiss too mate no one can help you if we have to guess what emulator you mean since we don't even know what machine your trying to emulate

    The C: drive isn't memory, it's storage. Thus, it's extremely normal that the used space would increase when you save a game.

    Unless you have like 1gb of memory I think it's your hard drive space that's getting smaller, as indicated. Emulators increase their resource hogging the more modern the console is that they're emulating, so it's only natural for it to choke certain systems. Which emulator are you using, and what are your system specs?
