   I sent a message about this in yesterday, but it never showed up...here,   
   or on Google Groups. I don't know what's up with this new, free server.   
   Sadly, I deleted the "sent" copy...but I'll try to reconstruct it to the   
   best of my memory...

   The only decent emulation on the DC is mostly for 8 bit systems(NES,   
   SMS, GB, GG). SNES and Genesis are pretty sad. Oddly enough though, Neo   
   Geo CD emulation(for certain titles) is pretty good.   
      
   On selling the DC, I'd wait until you *actually get a DC game* to try   
   out. ;)  I mean, try to get something great...something that really   
   defines the DC and see what you think first(maybe Sonic Adventure 1). I   
   just can't see selling a system off because its homebrew community is   
   really lacking in talent. ;)   
      
   Of course, I guess you could always use the DC money to get an Xbox, it   
   can emulate a *lot* of stuff perfectly. I hear Neo Geo and MAME   
   emulation on it is bad-ass.   
      
   > Spider-man the arcade game   
      
   There's no way this will run on the DC. They can't even do TMNT *1*   
   without slowdown(even on the Single Game MAME emulation).   
      
   > outrun   
      
   I doubt it. Then again, there's always Yu Suzuki's GameWorks on the DC   
   that has a perfect version of the game, as well as others. I think   
   Shenmue 1 or 2 may even have this one in it(not sure).   
      
   > golden axe 2   
      
   Not a chance in hell.   
      
   > rolling thunder 2   
      
   This may run alright...but you'd probably have a better experience using   
   one of the sub-par Genesis emulators and that rom. Of course, you've got   
   a Genesis, get it there! :)   
      
    > Galaga 88   
      
   Most likely. It's really early, not-so-graphically intense, smaller   
   games that run well in DC MAME(and that's about it).   
      
   PCs are pretty cheap nowadays, if you want I can link you to a place   
   where you can get a Pentium 4 for, like, $150 or a Pentium III 1ghz for   
   $70. From there, all you'd need is a video card with an S-Video output   
   and you're ready for non-stop MAME on your TV!
