I have FlareStorm 2, and it crashes for me as well. However, if I restart the program, it tells me there is a crash freeze state and asks if I want to load it. I say yes and select run from the file menu and it usually works. I am playing Final Fantasy Tactics, so I just make a freeze state save often in case my crash freeze state doesn't load. I have messed with the settings a bunch, but I have no idea what I am doing. I now have it running pretty stable, crashes every 20 mins or so, and only takes me a few seconds to get back to where I was (or a few minutes if the crash freeze doesn't load). I have not tried any other games on it, so maybe the game compatibility is an issue. I think I will look for a copy of Vandal Hearts and some other good rpgs, and see it they will run better, worse, or the same. I will start a thread asking about emulator settings, and if I find a configuration that is working well for me, I will come and post it.
