Great, this was my biggest concern was that I would still need to get a video card. I had heard that dreamcast emulators needed better cards, but some people had suggested otherwise. I was hoping someone would chime in on this.

dreamcast game require a video card unless that onboard thing is actually good enough. if anything I can recommend this one..its great for OUR purposes around here(playing old games) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161315

I was about to make a topic but I will ask here first, what are the best console emulators now a days? I am trying to get some ps1/n64/ps2 going. already tried bunch of dreamcast games they look great and full speed.

This video card is more than sufficient:

This is the card I have in my system. In addition to mame, I run Supermodel 3, N64, Dreamcast, PS1, Taito X2 and the PC version of SSFIV:AE. All of them run just fine.

Calamity's drivers are primarily aimed at outputting either a 15khz or 31kHz signal for CRT monitors (though a handful of LCD monitors will display non-60hz refresh rates correctly). SVideo/Composite input cannot really be altered. With Component video you MIGHT have some wiggle room.

All right SNAAKE mate, ain't spoken to you in a while lol

Yeah, I'm not sure on all of them however when I researched which PS1 emulator is the best recently, I found the majority's decision to be ePSXe. I then downloaded this and completed Final Fantasy 9 on it with zero problems, it's also tremendously easy to set up which is always good!

Also, I came across many people stating that the new release of PCSX2 (PS2 emulator) is working really well, and by far beats any competition. I haven't tried it myself though due to the required specs, not sure what they are exactly but I know my laptop would be too crap run it.
