    There seems to be a problem with that. I think the music is removed in turbo speed, that's why it's so fast.

    Can't you fix the music in options?
    I had the same problem with SnemulDS and i fixed it trough the options.

    Removing the music on Turbo Mode is a way of saving up processing power for the Speeding-up itself. Personally, I find it even better that I don't have to hear to the BBBRBHFBRHFBLBGRLFBR that a game's music becomes when sped up.

    Shantae aside, Lameboy is perfect. Probably the best emulator available on the system. Played a lot of Dragon Quest games there.

    Yes.

    Yes, it can play Gameboy and Gameboy colour games (NOT GBA(sp) GAMES!)
    If you want to play that, you must buy a slot-2 (like EZ flash 3-in-1)

    Nope, but there are other NES emulators for R4(flashcards in general, I beleive) that work, you can find them looking even on pages like youtube
