Black_Tiger, your comparison page is awesome. You should submit it to some gaming sites. I'm pretty sure it'd be covered and would be a great way to apply pressure for an emulator fix. Even though suggestions aren't being taken seriously at the moment, you can bet at the first sign of VC download stagnation Hudson(?) will react to gripes.
It's sad that when I brought the issue up at the Hudson forums (in early december), it was ignored by the "official" people. It took someone writing a *massive* ass-kissing essay there to get a response...
