Title: The official emulation/rom thread
Post by: UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over on March 21, 2007, 05:52:24 PM
Since every once in a while members of this forum ask where they can download emulators/roms & seem to have little knowledge about it I thought I might make this thread to provide everyone here with emulators (best & most popular), roms, info & settings needed to play your favorite old-school games.I'm gonna update this thread daily so any suggestions, requests or questions should be posted in this thread.Remember some settings might not work, everything depends on what kind of computer you have.Hopefully this will get a sticky.First up is probably my favorite console of all time - the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Good idea for a thread and thank you for Yoshi's Island, been looking for that for a while to play on the PSP.

Some guys have started to get close to Sega Model 2 (Daytona, Sega Rally, Virtua Cop, etc) emulation through a program called Nebula. Once they iron out the tweaks that will be awesome, especially if they can get some sort of four player net Daytona racing going on.

Does that also include the Star Wars Trilogy arcade game from 1998?

That was a Model 3 Step 2.1 game. I don't think they have reached the point where they are able to emulate that system.

Great thread, made me download a snes emu with like 500+ games. I´m playing Super Mario World right now ( I never had that for my SNES - can you believe that?) Maybe some of us can hook up and play a snes game over the net, some of those emus got a built in multiplayer feature so that you can play multiplayer games over the net. Never tried it but if it works that would kick ass. Dubcc bomberman/SF tournament ;)


Props for all the rom lovers in here :D

An addition to the emulation list would be nullDC. you can play DC games on PC with ease  8)

That would be the shit. You´re sure that there are working DC emulators?

I justed named the emulator. It's not perfect yet but it works alot better than Chankast.




Oh yeah, MAME emulators kick major fucking ass. I love playing old games on my modded Xbox but what will really take the cake would be MAME on 360 :)

A very useful site for emulation on consoles, latest news and emulator program downloads. Especially good for PSP stuff.

It's possible, but you'd be better off with MAME & the roms of the arcade version. It will run alot smoother.

I could swear only the dreamcast version works, unless you can name an arcade emulator it works on that you've used yourself. I still hear M.A.M.E can't fully 100% support it since CPS-3 hasn't been decrypted, we all know how long it took CPS-2 to get broken into after all  :-\. Plus for the dreamcast emu you need a fairly powerful pc don't ya...? I've tried using it for Worms World Party, didn't work....My pc sucks lol...

If it was me, i'd say just get the anniversary edition for the xbox (Third Strike and SF2 series on the game) to save urself the trouble like i did.
