I just tried it. The status bar is nice, but I see what you are saying about the speed issues. I'm trying to find the right settings to speed it up, though its going really slow for me. I think disabling frame skip seems to be helping. I also set the graphics to TV mode and clicked off all the CPU compatibility settings.

Just like you said though, same mouse issue. It does seem to have improved a bit. I noticed if I keep my stylus in the same spot the pointer eventually catches up.

Other than the speed problem, I would say the emulation is definitely better. Thanks for building this. If nothing else it gives us options.
