Emulation Nation

[SJ]

The best and easiest way to enjoy the classics. Got questions comment etc.. about emualtors? You've come to the right place.

[SJ]

Any other "emulator" addicts out there besides myself and Mugsy?

[Mugsy]

I got me MAME and SNES pretty well stocked, are there any others i should look into?

[SJ]

depends on what you like to play... Neo Geo was kinda rare in North America - the 1000 price tag for the unit and games in the 100's caused it to be glossed over....

The platform didn't last long - but generated some great Titles like Metal Slug, World Champions, Samurai Showdown, etc etc

Also - if your a real oldschooler, the Commodore emulator is a must...

Genesis emulator is also a must if your a sonic or altered beast fan...

recently I grabbed Dosbox 0.73

It's an old PC emulator that allows you to play old DOS based games on your newer OS's

You can grab Dosbox here: http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1

simply download and follow that sites tutorial on how to install and run the emulator.. (you will need DOS knowledge - but just the basics, which is probably all most of us remember now )

then you can grab games from all around the net called "abandonware" to find ur games

I have been browsing http://xtcabandonware.com/index.php

I think that one is too old school for me, i like better graphics.

[SJ]

well technically most of those games are newer then mame roms... (well kinda even I guess, lotsa late 80's and early 90's stuff)

[Mugsy]

Maybe i saw the wrong games, they looked really old. Like an old version of asteroid, and one with some guy made out of blocks.

[SJ]

there's releases right up till about 97 I think..

currently playing epic pinball (never did get that fucking android to come to life...)

I want to build a stand alone emulation/htpc soon. Will it happen...who knows, but it's what I want lol

it has potential. I've heard (rumor alert) that someone is planning on building the ability to wirelessly connect

WOOT!
