hi Thunder - I thought you have been over this stuff before. I mean I have tried myself on both CXBXR and the much easier but buggy Xemu (saving is almost impossible).
I get it as I have also had Xemu running the outrun game easily but its slower at high res but its easier to use than cbx r. I can achieve 60fps on xemu Chihiro but its only at 3x res. I UNDERSTAND you had to go through the hoops to get cbxr working with this game but overall its better or was it someone else . anyway I really like cbxr but its harder
