I wondered if maybe my little Revo just wasn't designed to emulate stuff on this level and that's why it started to choke on the 32x carts. The last two advanced emulators I have to set up are Sega CD and Saturn emulators, so if those experience the same problems I may just chalk it up to lack of processing power and stick to the old-old-school.
This sounds like it's the case. I'm using a dual-core i3 with a 1GB DDR5 graphics card. I'm not sure what the Revo comes with but onboard graphics won't cut it when you're rendering polygons.
Quote:Is there a good tutorial / help file for how to get Xpadder to do this? I paid for it and my only complaint is that it has the worst documentation of almost any program I've used on my HTPC so far. Just figuring out how to get it to map the triggers on my 360 controller took an hour.
Tutorials for configuring Xpadder are all over the place on Youtube. An hour to set up your Xpadder isn't bad, I've put in over 72 hours into getting my HTPC set up and I'm still tinkering to get it perfect.
To do something like my L+R+start, create a new profile, click on your left trigger to open the key-assignment page, then click Advanced and Set Selection. Choose "Go to Set 2 while held" (or something like that). Click OK and choose your 2nd set (the number 2 at the bottom). Click on your right trigger and choose "go to set 3 while held". Finally, go to set 3 and click the start button and assign it to "Alt+F4". Now you can close your emulator by holding the left trigger, then the right trigger, then pressing start. I think technically you can release the left trigger after you've pressed the right one, but it's still a 3-layer defense against accidentally closing your ROM.
You can even edit the in-between steps. For example, I have a profile set up for each one of my emulators, where RTrigger+DpadUp = QuickSave and RTrigger + DpadDown = QuickLoad. Usually this is F5 and F8, which Xpadder makes easy to bind to your gamepad.
