Comments and Reviews
This emulator is very good. Emulates Neogeo, CPS1, CPS2 and a lot more...Kawaks is also excellent but only emulates the first 3. The author is also very receptive to comments and updates actively.
On a funny note, a recent version (0.2.97.14) had a bug in WinXP where it would run and not display the menu, making it tough to use, LOL. He released a new version the next day to fix it though.
