1) hardware assisted mmu emulation because this is one of the main bottlenecks in pearpc's performance!
2) hardware accelerated graphics because i love games ;)
3) good sound support because pearpc currently has extremly choppy audio
4) ability to interact with USB devices. It would be helpful if pearpc could access USB devices nativly!

It's easy to say, but it'll take 5 years to do. Here is my "simple" wish for PearPC.

Everything that Basilisk II does.
-Perfect Sound
-Great stability
-A final version
-An official GUI for making configuration files
-Emulation for all devices
-Connection to main computer's drives

When you think about, PearPC is just like Basilisk II when it was early. Except for the most major thing: community. The PearPC community is great meaning that PearPC can probably accomplish everything that Basilisk II did in a lot less time.

No G5 emulation on a normal 32-bit Windows. It won't work, and even if it does it'll be awfully slow. Maybe on x86_64 though...

a button (or action key) that would switch the reponse time of the emulator between fast and slow .
(so you could set it at 30ms or 500ms in just a switch)...

That would enable the os to be responsive, and when your doing cpu-intensive things (like installin a program or rendering or whatever) you would switch it; and gain performances.

Hi,

I'm sorry, but that can't be helped. PearPC never was good with sound. It is too slow to accurately reproduce sound.

I wish it was made something like basilisk II. Easy to use GUI setup, no stupid .iso cd boot thing.
