PCE--Ootake followed closely by ME.  I find Ootake is best for CD based games.

NES-- Nestopia.  Love its set-up, and the ability to play disk games.  Out of all the NES emulators, this is my fave.

Genesis- Kega Fusion, or whatever its new name is. Best emu for it IMO, and being able to play discs as well as Master System games is a win win.

SNES--Snes 9x is my choice here by a landslide.  Easy to set up, and never had issues with it.

Neo-Geo-- I have not messed with this one enough to draw a conclusion.

All of my emulators are installed on one machine, hooked up to my TV.  I use a SNES USB controller for gaming, sometimes I will choose a TG-16 one or my NES USB one, but mainly I stick with the SNES version.  I can map all the buttons I need for all the systems in this era. 

Now for the Playstation...  I use pSX.  Some prefer the ePSXe emu, but I tend to stick with the latter.  I have never had issues playing what I want to play with it, which is mainly fan translations or imports. 

Oh, and I could give two poots about piracy on these old games..  LOL.  Current gen stuff, sure...but damn we talking 20 plus years here.  :lol:

I mostly use Magic Engine for Turbob and Magic Engine FX for PC-FX.  Those other systems do not matter.  :mrgreen:

Emulators are nice when the real deal isn't possible. When at home I play the real systems. On the go, work, trips, etc. I rely on emus to get my fix. Only systems I bother with though is PCE (naturally!), NeoGeo, or Gameboy/Color/Advance and do all my gaming via Android with my phone or tablet.

PCE - Magic Engine (Ootake crashes easier than a drunk driver every time I gave it a shot. Mednafen? Only people who have command line or frontend fetishes would use that as their primary emu.)

NES - FCE Ultra (I went from using Nesticle to this. I've never looked back.)

Genesis - KEGA Fusion (I used Gens for a while, but I like Fusion better.)

SNES - Higan (Formerly bSNES. This seems to be the only SNES emulator that gives a shit about hardware accuracy.)

Neo-Geo - None (I'm not really into Neo-Geo much...)

Strange, I have never had Ootake crash on me Arjak.  Do you have it configured properly? What OS are you running it on?

Windows 7. It mostly crashes when I load a game, especially if I try to change the settings from their defaults.

Interesting.  I use Ootake on Windows 7 and have never had a problem with it either.  It's really the only emulator I use, aside from this NES screensaver.
