   Got that right. SNES emulation on the DC is a fucking disgrace.

   This is the best idea, I agree...but man, updating the dashboards/tools   
   in it is a royal pain.

   I've heard it can be quite a chore to get it to work with the Mac. On   
   the other hand, burning emus with the Mac is actually easier(via Toast)   
   than it is on the PC with Roxio, Nero, etc.
