    Now that they decided to add Tiger handheld and fruit machines.... Newer sets are worthless

    Hardest is probably Gran Turismo 4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's much better now yes but Gran Turismo 4 is still the hardest one to emulate that I have in my collection
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Runs perfectly fine but it's as if I can feel it always on the boarder line of dropping a frame lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
