Super Robot W, SD Gundam G Generation DS, SNK Vs Capcom Card Fighter DS for example run at 100% with audio setted to 44100 hz (just SD Gundam suffers of slight slowdown during menu loading, with my settings, but I don't care).
I've tried the last Zelda (don't remember the full title, damned japanese, I bet that they are making a contest for the longest title), but I've heard that that game doesn't run at a constant frame rate even on fast PC (except for some point). It runs quite well, but the audio isn't good and in some point there is heavy frameskipping.
Anyway this is really an excellent emulator, also for its high performance with older PC, It really impressed me (I was thinking that DS emulation was something just for the fastest and newest PC until I've found this amazing program XD).

really is not cheating is the amd clock rating system because in modern cpu the architecture has substantially improved so GHZ does mean nothing if you have benchmarked the cpu you would know that a 2200+ has almost the same performance as a pentium 2,2ghz. Like my mobile semprom 3500+ is even faster than a pentium 4 3,6 Ghz and only has 1,8 Ghz real clock. The 2D emulation can even runs smooth in a pentium 3 with 500 Mhz.
