I used a memory card exploit to get uLaunchELF 4.12 to run; from there, I copied SNES_EMU.ELF (SNES Station v2.4) and a few ROMs onto my memory card.
It works, but only in the basest sense of the word: the sound and video are choppy, and the controls seem unresponsive. If this is going to be the case, I'd sooner haul my SNES back to college with me (which would be fairly inconvenient; I don't have a lot of desk space for consoles to begin with).
Now, I've heard of bad ROMS. Heck, I've even downloaded a few myself. But I'm having problems on two different games; and I ran them in ZSNES before I installed them on the PS2; they worked fine. I'm thinking the ROMS are OK.
I've heard some people on this forum talking about how they get lag and whatnot on their PS2s when they use SNES Station. If it's the case of a faulty emulator, is there a better alternative? Or am I going to have to wait until v2.5?
Finally, (and hopefully the main cause of the situation), my set up. I'm using a version 9 PS2, soft-modded with the uLaunchELF 4.12 memory card exploit. I'm also running the emulator and its roms off of a memory card. Is this a no-no, in terms of speed? If you had to rank them, which of the three places I can put the emulator will run the fastest, an internal hard drive, a USB flash drive, or a memory card?
Thank you in advance for any and all helpful input, and for taking the time to help me.
Usually when playing games, they might lag slightly, but the main thing I noticed is that the sound gets jacked up sometimes. But whatever the problem, it usually fixes itself.

Bah.
As much as I hate to whine, how hard should it be to get a super nintendo to run on hardware that's 8 years newer? Ticks me off...
Mine works pretty decent off a Dvd, there was a few that would load black screen, that had sound, and others like KMK said. Wish that a new version would come out, it was built on the snes9x V1.37c, and that emulator is now at version 1.42. Talk about it but nothing yet.
