what games exactly, because i think monkey island is a scumm game that should be using the scumm emulator. just like games like full throttle and day of the tentacle.

heres the compatibility list, test some games that are fully working

also remember that you can mess with the settings, press X on the game, raise the ram adjust, the cpu cycles
but you shouldn't really have to adjust anymore than that since you should adjust the sound and video settings in the actual game setup file, even if it's a separate file.
