I recently sat down with Arturo Sanchez to discuss his latest project:  An “Optimized System” package, designed to significantly lower the latency of Windows operating systems.  This was obviously designed with the Fighting Game Community in mind, however this will lower the latency of any software, including software emulators.  While it’s still in the “alpha” state, it’s extremely promising and this “*OS Package” could be a game-changer for all eras of PC video games!
