The emulator runs fine at 100% and 20-30 fps for the first 5-10 minutes of gameplay, after that the speed gradually starts dropping to about 80%, also after I tinker with the settings, doesn't matter which settings, it runs fine for about 10 secs then again it starts slowing down very gradually.

I've searched the forums and the net for a very long time before posting but wasn't able to find anyone with similar problems and I really don't know what the problem could be. I've had this issue with alot of games pokémon platinum, FFIV, new super mario bros, with every game I play

my apologies if it's been asked before but i just cant seem to find it thnx :lol:

oh yeh my specs: pentium4 3.00GHz, 1024mb of ram (it said i had 2 memory modules of 512 mb each not sure if that's the ram or not), my video card an ATI Radeon 9800

Maybe your PC is getting hot and, for avoiding getting more hot, the proccesor reduced his frecuency. Try to reduce the temperature.

dust in the computer mabe? cuase we had a major problem with it int he past sence we never did clean out the computer

I think it would be because temperature problems. If you think you have a bad ventillation, then try fixing it. Also, I had a same issue that Lasnap mentioned. If the cpu gets dusty, then it won't have a very good effect on it. I had to change several parts of my cpu because of it (they kinda burnt out)
