   Well, but none of those are really pushing the Genesis. Try something   
   like The Adventures of Batman and Robin, or Red Zone and see how that goes.   
      
   I will admit it's been a while since I've seen a Genesis emulator on the   
   DC, but the last time I had, it was horrible. I can't imagine that it   
   got much better over the years(the SNES emus certainly didn't), but if   
   it's adequate for what you're playing, go with it, just be aware that   
   you'll most likely run in to more issues like you have with Smurfs and   
   whatnot.   
      
   I'm currently in the same situation, I'm thinking of selling off my NES   
   and all my games and just going with emulation on the DC of the NES.   
   Nester has some issues, and with some of my favorite games, so I am   
   going to try this "Nester SE" which is said to be 99.9% perfect. Once I   
   can confirm it works with all my favorites, I'll probably ditch the NES.   
   It's the testing that's the killer...

   Well, think of this as that last link in the chain. Once you get this   
   adapter, it kills the needs for a good pad for fighting games on the DC,   
   the needs for a good controller for *any* given emu on the DC and the   
   fact that it also allows you to use a PSX controller, you have something   
   for Bleemcast! games and hacks. Plus, the adapter also has a PS-2 port   
   for keyboard input, which means you could use it for Typing of the Dead.   
   Not too bad, like I said, it's an all-in-one adapter. :)
