Emulators

Ratbomb · 9th October 2007, 11:03 AM

just wondering if anyone else has one? ive got one for the master system on my computer, its quite nifty being able to play like old sega games i played when i was younger on my computer! im playing Ecco the Dolphin lately and its so hard! haha i cant get past the first level! and everytime i ask the other dolphins they say something unrelevant like "the dots on your head look like stars in the sky" haha

i've got a megadrive, nes and snes. i got an acorn archimedes one as well but couldn't get it working... it was just to run the games rather than emulate the whole OS thingie, still couldn't figure out how to get it going though

visualboy is the best gameboy/gameboy advance emulator ive found so far.

ZSNES for games of Bomberman, Super Mario and Castlevania

a lot of old games have been re-made pretty well in flash too - which is pretty cool.

I never really got into the whole emulator thing. last time I looked into it, it was horribly complicated (it was ages ago though) - I do have the mega drive collection for my PSP though, and you're damn right - Ecco is hard as nails!

It's a piece of piss now, if you can work a computer well enough to post on this forum then you can work an emulator. 8 and 16 bit console emulators are the easiest to work, literally just install them, download some roms and play, arcade ones are a wee bit more complicated but easy enough and well worth it.
The best bit is being able to save your progress at any point, so you can finally defeat all those 3 continues then your fucked, back to level one type games, and with arcade emulators you can just keep pumping in pretend coins

EMU-Russia - ROMs

Best site for ROMs

(No arcade games here though)

If I remember correctly you have you jump out of the water, flipping over the divides (going right) to get to the exit of the level.

Go Go Gadget Memory for unimportant things!

i just found about 700-800 nes roms in my D Drive.
I Also have mega drive ones and snes ones too.
Cant remember what emulator i was using, think it was the mega drive one, but it allowed me to use my 360 Controller to play them. Only down side is you need to config the controller for each rom.

Maddest thing of all though, i find the games to be much harder than when i was wee. There was games i could complete no bother that i cant get past the 3rd level on now.

If you mean the very first level, then you have to jump very high in the sky to trigger the alien abduction thing.

If you get your Xbox soft-modded, you can play emulated games on that too. (original Xbox)

Alternatively, if you can get your hands on a dreamcast, there are a few emulators for that as well.

Better than playing old console games on your PC
