optimal settings for running emulators

[steveo3]

Hi everyone! I'm very new to hyperspin and was wondering if any of you guys and gals could help me with an issue I'm having, anyways I was wondering if any of you knew what the best settings I should have to run emulators

imusing a laptop with an i5 dual core processor( I'm preety sure its 5500u.) with 8gb of ram 700mb hdd and I'm running them using hyperspin as the frontend also that's on a 3tb external hd I'm running everything from amiga and mame all the way up to psx I'm not running dreamcast and ps2 although I do have them setup as well anyways all of my emulators seem to be running fine except snes(which is using the zsnes emulator.) that one and n64 seem to lag quite a bit (not because of too many sprites but the framerate itself is running between 22 and 36 fps also n64 lags and nestopia has no sound despite what I do in the settings for these emulators any suggestions will be greatly appreciated and thanks again for your help!

No idea as I don't use N64 games at all. 

Does SNES work fine using MAME/MESS? If so then just use that and get rid of zsnes.

got ya! yeah all of my emulators work fine except zsnes and n64 I guess I'm curious as to why it happened and what may have caused it in case I have future issues right now I'm starting to think theres an unknown program running or zsnes has issues with windows ten however it works fine when I run iton a different hdd thanks for the tip and taking time to respond!

N64 emulation isn't that great to begin with... even if you have a beast of a PC. I keep Project64 and 1964 installed as some games run better on one or the other. For SNES I used zsnes for many years before HS was around. But I couldnt get it to run smoothly with HS (Probably because it is a Dos program and doesn't send any windows announcments/ID's). So I have been using BSNES and am very happy with it so far.
