Pashley26 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've just downloaded a few Emulators, and think there the best thing in the world !Does anybody else on here use Emulators and Roms ? I'm looking for a really good site, and so far i can only find romhustler for good free downloads Obviously i'm system scanning after i download each one, but has anybody had any problems with them ?For anybody who dosen't know what they are, there a Console "Emulator" you can download to play all your fav' old games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Obviously i'm system scanning after i download each one, but has anybody had any problems with them ?Many, many problems. Usually dodgy and full of spyware and viruses But yea, they are kinda fun. Although I'm cautious about reliving old memories....it can sometimes ruin everything. I once downloaded a really old football game, pretty fun, most of the countries on it don't even exist anymore, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) most of the countries on it don't even exist anymore, lol.Remember that harry enfield sketch - "And the 1966 England team are playing in black and white, against the 1992 Liverpool line up in colour"But yeah, only downside so far is having to close the 5 pop ups you need to click to download the games Edited September 4, 2008 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 It is illegal so shouldn't really be talked about on here, but torrents are far better and usually safer places to pick them up from.They usually come with about every game you can think of for the specific rom as well.... like 234 n64 roms plus a host of emulators to play them with.I like the legend of zelda... a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Clarke Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Back in the day in school, when every site on the internet was banned, i did stick one on my memory stick.Didn't really find them that fun though, may as well brought in the old Gameboy.

Captain Scarlet Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I might try some of the higher quality ones again, on my old computer I had thousands of original game boy roms.I tried N64 ones but they were so slow back then.Would be nice to re-live old memories, and play games I always wanted back then.My favourite one was the Psx emulator, just pop a PS1 game in the drive and play it on PC.Can also emulate loads of consoles on PSP.

Tomm Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yeah, don't be posting any links to rom sites or I'll close the topic.I've got quite a few emulators installed on my (chipped) xbox 1. It's totally awesome, playing on a TV with a proper control pad. Mega drive games are the best, they work perfectly. I've got an N64 emulator on there too, but only certain games work (Goldeneye doesn't unfortunately ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) I'm pretty sure downloading roms is legal if you own the rom or use the rom as a tester and remove it within 24 hours.Anyway, i use magadrive roms a lot. Toejam and earl, panic on funkatron. Edited September 4, 2008 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme_biker0 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 The old SNES games are best; Mario can be played quite well with the keyboard. Serious nostalgia trip though; playing it after bath time on a Sunday night before school (work) with my sister (girlfriend). Is that wierd? Nah.

Pashley26 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 There not actually illegal if you own the game. But lets face it....There's some awesome ones. I went straight to FF9 because my ps1 discs (PICTURE DISCS !) got mullered when my TV cabinet collapsed and my 5 years old 5 ton 32" tv went straight through the lot Remember the "Demo Discs" they were beast....
