The emulator doesn't give you something for free. Your PC uses the x86 instruction set and the Nintendo 64 uses the MIPS instruction set. To run N64 games, your PC has to convert the MIPS instructions into x86 instructions. This is such a time-consuming process that running a MIPS program on a PC is several times slower than running an equivalent PC program on the PC. BTW, Windows does not make programs run slower. Well, maybe 1 or 2 percent, but that's it. -Tom
