    Has anyone tried it out yet? I'm on the r2 and used the recommended settings to speed it up and its running around 60% speed. Is everyone else getting the same results?

    yeah, unfortunately like with Ps2 emu. Even with throttlestop we just dont have enough CPU grunt to get anything running smoothly.

    I'm on the R1 and I couldn't get any games to work, sadly. I guess you need a seriously beefy PC to even attempt it.

    I managed to get New Super Mario Brothers Wii working pretty well when using ThrottleStop! Though that is really the only game that I could...

    Just some games, not all, Muramasa works perfect:

    YouTube - Muramasa TDB on the Alienware m11x (with Dolphin emu)

    I guess because is a 2D game...

    Zelda TP runs with lag, but that was before the use of TS, but I guess is not playable like the original console....

    I have been testing some games, NSMBW runs like 12fps, Zelda works around 25-30fps, but once you go to a large area or town, it drops below 18 and runs like slowmotion (but like I said before, without TS)
