Poll: Emulating

[Jonatron]

Urm since when are Nintendo making money anymore off old consoles?

Btw anyone know a good download for Motherbound and a programme to play it on (If illegal on here ignore)

Two words, 'Virtual Console'.

Google the words 'SNES emulator' and 'Motherbound ROM'. Illegal? Muchly.


Without Emulators, I would have never have thought nintendo awesome and bought their console and 20+ games (mostly third party and pre-owned, however) and a couple of of Points cards to Buy what I had played (with the exception of Banjo Kazooie Majora's Mask (60 pounds for the gamecube on of amazon, what the fuck?), and games with similar problems moving to Virtual Console

Good thing. I can't find any stores that sell N64 games anymore, so I need another option.

They're awesome, it's fun to play old games and get nostalgic.

I know my PSP would be collecting about an inch thick layer of dust if it wasn't for SNES and PS1 emulators on it. So many games are works of art and shouldn't be lost from the public eye just because they were on an older system. That's the worst reason ever.

And to those of you looking for a good emulator gamepad, I strongly recommend this one. It was only $20, and it's well designed to support pretty much any emulated system I've ever heard of.

all right for old consoles, not for n64 or ps1

Thanks for your help but I worked it all out and just started earthbound WIN


SNES games FTW

 

[Combined]

They're awesome! Like VirtualBoyAdvance and DOSbox. They're some of the best simulators ever. With them I can run the old games I love so much.

 

[ultimateownage]

They're great, not everyone can buy all these games, they aren't in shops and rarely on ebay in good condition, plus who the hell wants to pay like £100 for an nes, and all the classic games. But pirating new games is terrible.

 

[Tharticus]

I still have my old console games but the console isn't running as it used to be, so I use emulators. Gameboy and NES are the best emulators.

 

[Abedeus]

They are great.

My SNES doesn't work anymore, simply because I haven't got a TV that can run it. Everything is too new.

 

[ioxles]

I use emulators a lot for old nes and snes games missed out on and can't find anywhere, now I also use it to run my ps1 games after my console blew up. I feel like I'm living in the past.

Ghost in the Shell, Xenogears and Vagrant Story FTW. If you haven't played them check them out.

I also play Dreamcast games emulated because I was too stupid to buy one when I could and when I did I couldn't find the games I wanted for it anywhere. So yeah, emulation all the way.

No ones making money off of arcade games anymore so mine's good. If I didn't own something like a PS2, it may be a different story.
