I'm not stupid I realise P64 is not an accurate emulation of the original hardware. However, its simple to set up and doesn't require enormous amounts of computing power either so it has its advantages if you don't have a fast PC and loads of time to spend playing around with settings etc. Choice does not always reflect attitude.
I recently bought an i5 machine so if I may interpret your sarcasm and bile as "MESS emulates some really cool games that P64 cant" coupled with the previous posts alluding to multi core optimisation then I'll give it a go.
Thanks for your input you miserable old bast! 
There is no sin except stupidity.
