Well I had a previous version of jnes that worked ok on my old system but it was lagging for no reason when I upgraded, then the new version came out and it works excellent, I'm really happy with it and I try to stick with 1 thing, I'm sorry.

Over all, It's great to play the games so easily and I just wanted to share my excitement with you.

I try to stick to one emu myself, the one being FCE Ultra. BUT some roms only work right in different emus so you pretty much have to use different ones. Anyway it's nice to see the emulator scene is still alive :D

I don't think many people know what "mappers" are. I don't. The best place is check up on emulator updates is www.emuunlim.com (Emulators Unlimited). There's a dozen or so emulators out there for each console, so just get them all and all is well. :P
