Media Engine is a second CPU inside the CPU.
We use it as a coprocessor to do the sound generation of the SPC700 (snes sound chip).
Now you will have 44 Khz full audio quality at the same speed as "no sound with emulation".
The SPC700 CPU is still emulated on the main cpu I believe...
the sound GENERATION is done on the ME.
So basically, the next release should be running sound at full speed (well, most games. Still excludes X2 and X3, Mario RPG, etc etc). Not to mention they've cleaned up the mode 7 code as well. I'm on the edge of my seat. :D
