Anyone else use Emulators? Such fun!

Emulators are great things...if your computer is up to it the N64 ones are good as well.
Also MAME is awesome, i'll have to look into it again to see how they have updated it.

Yeah im Megadriving it up at the momento!

I've discovered a lot of beasty games through emulators... Gunstar Heroes, Flicky, Ristar.. Ristar is amazing, get that, IT'S A STAR WITH HANDS!

Ive lost Ristar. Had it on the Megadrive a while ago though.

Right how do I get this to work? I've downloaded a SNES emulator and that Contra 3 link, but I can't work out how to start the game. It's asking me to load game, but when I type in Contra 3 the emulator just turns into a black cube of despair!

File > open rom, and open the zip file directly into the emulator. May not be the same for every emulator but yeah, give that a try!

If you have a wired 360 controller you can stick it in yer USB and play with a pad. Good times.

I love emulators. What I really love is listening to the awesome music games used to have.... now I'm sad. Some of the emulators allow you to play the games over a network... 2 player games.... over the internet. Amazing!

RISTAR! I've unlocked that on the Sonic Mega Collection Plus game on PS2, it's pretty hard though, especially the final boss, I can't beat the bastard!

ristar is awesome, have it on megadrive.

It would seem this particular download of Contra 3 is corrupt. Go on over to rom-gods.net and download it from there, that worked fine for me! You have to go through some adverts and voting bullshit but it works in the end.

http://freeroms.com/ or http://romnation.net have always worked fine for me

Or get a torrent with 7 thousand roms in it?

Emulators are amazing, It's how i know there is more to the Snes than Star Fleet Academy (Brilliant game, so you can all sod off). I might actually play through Chrono Trigger again because it was so bloody good.
