What are your settings in Mpegplayer?  How are you encoding the videos?

What games are you talking about, in particular?  Games (Rockblox, chopper, sokoban, xobox, etc.) seem to run fine on my Sansa.

What setting is from 0 - 6 fps?  I was thinking more along the lines of the Display Options: http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansae200/rockbox-buildch11.html#x14-22900011.3.5

You should probably make sure you have enabled frame skipping in both Rockboy and Mpegplayer. 

Have a read of this page for some suggestions for transcoding your videos with appropriate settings.  I suspect part of your problem might be poorly encoded files.  Try the sample movie on that page and report back what framerate you get.  For reference, I just played the sample movie "Elephants Dream" on my e280 and got 23 FPS out of it.

Rockboy is the gameboy emulator.

Answer the question and follow the suggestions in Chronon's last post.
