Ok I was pretty harsh on the DC side of emulation but so was Kron on the Xbox side. Let's try to comply a list of the best emulators of each system as frankly Americans don't know dick about image quality so info on the net is poor.
Criteria:
1. Image quality
2. Speed
3. Compatibility
4. Sound
SNES: XSNESX by Lantus [Xbox]. No contest here, the picture is extremely good, compatibility perfect and so is the sound. I've compared various roms to the SFC originals by flicking between them on my SCART block and i'd say it's 95% accurate. A touch too soft (only slight) and a notch extra of brightness is needed.
AC (System 16): Wasn't someone doing one for Dreamcast?
AC (CPS1/2): Final Burn [Xbox]. Runs everything flawlessly.
AC (Taito F3): None.
AC (Neo Geo): The various MAME flavours on Xbox will do but soon Final Burn will support Neo Geo also.
MD: GensX by Xport [Xbox]. I can't get it to boot CD originals for love nor money but backups are fine. Runs all the 32X and MD roms I throw at it but the image is too soft/dark.
Post here and i'll update this initial post. I'm assuming NesterDC is the best for NES stuff but i've not tried any Xbox equivilents.
