That is probably because Nintendo games in particular tend to have the framerate determine gamespeed. So it isn't that you have fewer frames to refresh which causes stuttering, but the actual game-speed depends on the framerate. 

I never thought of this. It would explain whats happining. Man i just wish the emu would use more of my CPU and GPU. It never uses more then 20-25%cpu. But i do think it will be due a big speed up soon enough.

How many cores does it have pegged to 100% though?
The GPU might not be pegged at 100% as Nintendo games are typically light weight on graphics, the CPU may also not be fast enough to feed it too.

Holy smokes.

Up to 2k support already o.O.

You can do 4k and 5k and beyond as well.
In-fact, you could do 4k and then downscale it, the image quality gains should be pretty good.
Although... Performance is another matter entirely.

It's still stealing dude, taking $5 worth of stuff from a store is still wrong even if it's not enough to really hurt the business. I could kind of justify emulation before last gen when the only other way to play old games was to actually own the original system and game but chances are all of these games are going to be on the nx eshop in a few years and the same goes for the Wii u and 360, you have no excuse anymore


This is going to take years before it's in a state where you could run every game at full speed... And by that time, Nintendo would have cast aside the systems for their newer ones, allowing the hardware and games to fall into obscurity.

Emulation allows for the preservation of platforms and software.

The flip side to this though... Is that it could allow for the sale of more games as the games are opened up to being played on more Platforms, usually this happens via second hand sale, Emulation has never been full speed playable while a console has been on a market.

The Xbox 360 has also ceased production as a platform it's officially dead, emulation preserves it.

Oh boy piracy. Let's all steal from the devs, publishers and console makers that make our favorite games


No one is talking piracy here.
Emulation is legal (Will vary from country to country obviously.)

Just saying, emulation isn't illegal if you own the software. So basically, any accusations rely on the honor system.

Well, strictly speaking it's illegal if you use a pirated copy of the game. Even if you own an original copy of the game, it's still only legal if you've ripped the copy you're using on your PC yourself. :-p

Depends on the country you reside in. Not always the case.
And more modern systems you don't need to rip OR pirate the game, you infact use your original copy of the game.
