Sound card acceleration is something I have not tried, but I definitly will! Thanks for that suggestion. At this point I'll try anything.
@cobalt - you are absolutly right, and I know I am far from being the first person to have these kinds of problems with SH3. I've been hopeful about finding a fix though because many people on this board have said they have never had a crash, or any of the other issues so many deal with. If it was a stock SH3 issue I would think we would all have this problem, yet some of us never do. With that in mind I keep searching for a solution, and I'll definitly let everyone know if I figure anything out. I know you are also right about the reinstall thing, I'll bet most of us have reinstalled a ton of times. I know I have for sure.
Anyway thanks everyone for taking the time to read this and reply, if anyone else comes up with something for me to try please post, and I will definitly try it.
