Bushido Blade 2
4-5 (maybe?)
scph1001
Runs playable but slow like all the above, video on this was for some reason widescreen with full screen width & a squashed hieght with SNES style Streetfighter borders (actually a bit bigger), anyone who had the Pal Streetfighter back in the day will know what I'm saying.
Buster Brothers Collection
 
HLE

Cabellas Big Game Hunters
3-5 fps
scph1001 + HLE
Runs about 3-5 fps.
Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night
   

The menus and everything work perfectly, his spells work, but for some reason summon spirt give a gray screen for 1 frame when you use it (which is fine because the animation after it plays perfect, on the pc theres always a black box behind it, was transparancy fixed for this, or does the sh4 just deal with it better, that effect didnt work with hardware or software plugins on the pc) with no select mapped i couldnt check the map though (some plugins work fine with it, others dont)..

I tried to run castlevania with the hle bios twice, both times it didnt start...oh well, also, just for the hell of it i tried using my bleem memory card to see if it would recognize it...it didnt, there probably arent any vmu routines in it anyways, but why not try.

 

Choanaki

Intro: less then 1FPS

Game: 2-3 FPS

HLE
The intro movie is less than a frame a second.. probably 1 frame/2 seconds. The menus work wonderfully, about 100% speed. The game itself runs about 2-3 frames a second.

The screen is a small box in the middle of the screen.(Its still viewable.)
It runs so slow that I couldnt tell if it froze or not.(which I think it didnt)
The little bars will still flash every minute it seems.
