Well seems like an all-in-one core update is a little bit beyond me. Although I was able to resolve all errors the emu would just lock up on load of a game. It's no fun flying blind. I did learn alot though.

So I decided to go with baby steps until I have a better understanding. It's a little more work in the long run but they've moved so much stuff around since 103 that its harder to catch things. So far I have found several items that would not have caught my attention in the first attempt. At one point the emu was running twice as slow (double sync commands) and echoing sound. So if things go well I should be able to get it all updated fairly quickly.

Oh and fast forward seems to be not working at the moment.

I just love talking to myself. I figure I'm ok as long as I don't talk back.
