Hi

for 2nd choice "cache emulation / cycle exact (ditto)", I think it's 
better to keep "cycle exact" first in the text, because it's really the 
most important parameter. As it's the "cpu emulation parameters" window 
maybe some "emulation" words can be removed to gain space. so maybe 
"cycle exact / cache (uses more host cpu)" would fit ? (not a big fan of 
"ditto")

for the fpu text, I'm not sure "no host FPU use" will be understandable 
by everybody ; maybe "accurate FPU (uses more host CPU)" would be enough ?
