Intel I7 920 @ 4GHz with Hyperthreading (8 cores)
ATI Radeon 4870 1GB
6GB RAM Windows 7
20-25 games for any system.

It's only with quad cores do the numbers jump out, this is because the video thread takes a fair chunk on most modern video cards (meaning if you're dual core one of them will be used a lot for that). That's a special build to run 20+ though.

Soon maybe the public could enjoy it. :play:

Over the coming versions I hope to implement some features that could allow you to have that many, provided you have enough a certain resource!

Heh, I won't be using that feature anytime soon. Although I may set it to three.

[No double quotes?]

Any plans for implementing AMD Stream and Nvidia CUDA?

Probably. At the moment I'm not interested in taking the C++ cores and doing something like CUDA with them, when compilers get good enough that you can use standards compliant C++ on them then yes.

I may have a private play with it at some time though as I like working with new technology.

Master system games run bit slow, at 90 percent on my Pentium 4 3.2ghz ATI HD 4650 1 gb ram.

Hmm I would think that should be able to run it fine, is hyper threading enabled on it? If not I would enable it. The next version has SSE2 enabled and other speedups that you could enable so you should be able to get fullspeed.

You really need to get a multi core CPU though to take advantage of RetroCopy as it offloads work into multiple threads. Windows can't handle doing this on single core CPUs too well.
