Severe button lag in some emulators...

Also, check if your PC supports USB 2.0. If you don't know how:
Go to Device Manager
Click on USB device Controllers (at the bottom)
See if there is entry for Enhanced USB Controller or EHCI
My current money is on the following.
1. USB 2.0
Solution: Either don't use the hub or turn off the USB 2.0 in the BIOS
2. The USB hub
Solution: Your USB hub is really crappy. Don't use it or get a new one.

OK thinking back I'm pretty sure the motherboard doesn't support USB2.0. I think you are right on with the hub being the problem. I now remember having some issues at first with windows seeing the IPAC and Optipac. I plugged the hub (powered by its own adapter) into a different USB port on the computer and it magically started working though so I never even considered it. Guess I need to get on newegg and find a hub that doesn't suck. I'll report back.

Don't throw out the hub yet. Make sure they work fine using the onboard USB connectors first.

Well I believe I have ruled out the USB hub as the problem. I tried with a PS2 keyboard, as well as straight connection to the motherboard USB inputs -- all exhibit the lag. I think the problem has something to do with video believe it or not. I was able to get rid of the problem in FCEUltra by selecting <none> under the 'sync method'. When I turned double buffering or VBlank back on the lag came back. Bizarre. I guess I'm stuck with screen tearing to avoid the input lag. I haven't found any setting in ZSNES that gets rid of the lag however. I neglected to mention this but I did change monitors during the upgrade (from standard CGA arcade monitor to betson multisync). I have no clue how that could cause this though. :banghead:

This sounds like a direct-x issue. I've ran into sluggish response before due to bad drivers/and old version of dx installed/ ect.
So I say look at the software end of things and try turning off options like "use direct input" in your emus.
