Using the SNES emulators: -iMac Core2Duo ATi graphics --graphically smooth can use 2x 4xHQ etc. -MacBook 1st Gen CoreDuo Intel gma 950 --bsnes suffers from jerkiness, not the case with the standalone version --snes9x lots of visual tearing, fixed by disabling quartz extreme using quartz debug. Don't know if related to open emu as expose etc has been choppy since upgrade to snow leopard and 10.6.3 has made no difference.
