DC emulation in the "compatable" stage?

Im sing so many updates on Icarus, and the games look pretty nice considering they are newly emulated and nobodys had the chance to make plugins with extra options for the advanced gamer.

i mean the colors may be a bit off on the games but it seems that the shapes are just about perfect, if they could just get the colors and textures right id play powerstone at 5 fps just because its on computer lol.

Well on a athlon 1800 tony hawk's and time stalkers are completely playable speed-wise
Tony hawk's runs around 50fps and Time Stalkers about 40fps.

Well it was actually a 1.8gig athlon 2000.
FPS were perhaps a tad lower than that, but they were supposedly playable.
Graphics card is irrelevant atm.
And i have no intention of releasing yet. Even if these games were playable, why would i want lamers to have another free warez scene.

Although you really should have a graphics card that supports 32-bit z-buffer AND multi-pass rendering in order to emulate the pvr2 'properly'.

Cyrus, video boards will increase the performance of the emu? like a GeForce 4 or an ATI Radeon 9700, have you tested your emu with what videoboards? If yes, in what plugin?
And my congrats to your emu, good job!
