Umm... Does the Bizhawk emulator, speaking of NES and SNES emulation, is slow? I mean, when I open a ROM, it runs very slow and other emulators for those consoles runs pretty well. So, it has to be that way?

Yes, it has to be that way. Other snes emulators are horrible. Try changing the snes options with a snes rom loaded for more speed. At the present, only one NES core is supported, and it is a slow but decent one. In the future there will be faster ones.

If you are using SNES, try turning off the Ring Buffer option: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14542 It may still be slow for you though, if NES is also slow.

Zsnes being one of the horrible ones, Snes9x has gotten a lot better over the years, not as good as Bsnes/Higan, but far from the terrible emulator it once was ;)
