Through all the excitement and flooding of new emulators in the emulator scene, many new users get confused and discouraged when they obtain certain emulators. Many questions like 'Why won't my sound work?' or 'Why don't my games work' pop up often and are usually mocked by those who do know the answers. This page is provided to fill in all the information on differences between popular emulators so that the aforementioned people can understand the differences and advantages between certain emulators. Most of the data collected here is the result of a 486 DX4/100. Those with Pentiums can ignore speed =)
