I don't know StarScream, but I could imagine it maybe doesn't lend itself very well to wrap it up in a class? Other than that, I wouldn't know why you wouldn't be able to run 2 megadrives at once using OO if the rest of the megadrive emulator is OO too... Also, when you go for OO you have to be careful to keep polymorphic virtual calls down as you will pay for them. <- erik rewriting his OO 68k interpreter to a code generator ->
