Emulators

I know some of you must have some. I myself have a NES,SNES, Genesis,
and N64 emulators. I have a crap load of ROMs too. If anyone doesn't
know what a emulator is, it is a program that acts like a old school
video game console on your computer. A ROM is the games for it ^_^.

I have a Super Nintendo one, I like playing Donkey Kong inbetween Battlefield 2 and Diablo :smile:

i wish there where working emulators for xbox, i tried one but halo 2
was the only game they ported to it and it ran in 12 fps on a 3 ghz and
with no network...

I've herd that the PC and the Xbox system are very equal so i wonder why there aren't working emulators for it yet..

God got tired waiting all sunday for the world to compile and finaly had it.
On the Eight day, god created func_details, and he saw that it was fast.

They are, it's just that everyone who'd be willing to make an emulator is too lazy/scared to backwards engineer an xbox and it's bios to recreate it in a software environment.

Then again, if you know how to do that, you probably wouldn't waste your time with it. And to not get sued you have to use the "clean room" technique, and be able to prove it.

Only professional companies do this, so. (Remember Bleem?)

Honestly, I'd like to get some more ports from newer arcade games for Mame. Make some joysticks and set up a pay system. Got a tv, build a frame and some pos computer inside, and I'd have my very own multi-use arcade machine. I could probably build a sub in the bottom of the box too so it shook your ass off, make some sort of cylinder cannon thingie.

Raptor, they're not "equal" they're the same thing. Same architecture. I just wish more people really understood what that meant.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Theres a PS1 emulator- PSX i think its called, and an Xbox one that only plays Halo and Turok Evolution. The Xbox one also only works when you download the ISO, which on Xbox DVD's is written in reverse, so if you want to copy an Xbox game you have to lan up your Xbox and copy it from that over a lan.

Let's see... I have wine, psx, and WinUAE.

Wine is not quite an windows emulator, but close.

Psx is a playstation emulator.

WinUAE is an Amiga emulator.

Until later...

I download MAME every once in a while and play Metal Slug with friends. WinUAE is cool too.

Still, nothing beats the real thing. Too bad my Amiga broke down. :sad:

I have the Atari, Coleco Vission, and Commadore 64 ones.. Its funny
when my kid comes in to use the PC and its a C-64.. he has no clue. My
favorite game is a lil game called Sword of fargoal for the C64. There
are others that I like alot too.. but that game was made by a friend of
mine and it used key characters for monsters, and it had many levels to
a dungeon, I guess it was the first Dungeon crawl game ever.. even
before bards tale and the rest.. but like I said it was very very
basic.. but lots of fun.

I have an N64 one that alows for online play. I have super smash bros and golden eyey that i play with my firends ever once in awhile.

Is microsofts laywers hunting here in sweden to? If i knew how to make
an xbox emulator i would do it! And what's the clean room technique?

I think i know what you mean with the same architecture, the hardware is built the same (busses/cpu etc..).

I have burnout 3 for Xbox on my PC. If only i knew how to port it...

I think that someone from a differnt contry, like sweden or germany and
such should make an xbox emulator. Just because its all the ay around
the worl i guess. If you know wnayone that could, have them make one
and post it on some cheap ass free web hosting thing then give us
snarks the URL for it. If we dont tell any one we could have a Snarkbox
emulator ^_^

I use Znes to play some old games I like. Most of the games I played
when I was a kid were DOS-games (my parents never gave me any console),
so I don't need a lot of emulators. :smile:

:: Forceflow.be :: Nuclear Dawn developer

Xbox isn't just a PC, its like Mac's, because they know the hardware config they can code specifically for it, unlike PC's which have to take many things into consideration.

I think you'll find coding an Xbox emulator extremely hard without the Xbox SDK used by software developers.

I have MAME and ZSNES. I've attempted to have ZSNES bear my children, but to no avail as of yet.

I have MAME, and I sometimes use it to play Asteroids and Galaga.

Yeah! Galaga rocks! I used to play it on my brothers old amiga.

I play a lot of Mortal Kombat and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles now :smile:

I remember ages ago playing that on a real super nintendo... ahhh, good times.

FCEU (nes), ZNES, PSX... VBA... mmm... and i thought i had a nes 64 emu... perhaps i deleted it... lol, well......... i don't like nes 64 too much anyway.
i play donkeykong 3 double trouble.... that game rocks, any of you like the... music of that game?? heh

Hehe. I paid $35 for Mame about 4 months ago.

Before you judge, I got:

11 DVDs worth of Mame games and CHD files.
Screenshors for all the games
Snapshots of the actual game machines for each game
audio rips from lots of games
Latest version of Mame.
Tons more bonus crap.

Those 11 DVDs contained basically every arcade game ever made (maybe not, but I haven't run into a game I wanted to play but couldn't find), including some "newer" ones like Area 51, Rush 2041, and some other ones. The bigger games (like Rush and Area 51) require the CHD files to run them. (Compressed Hard Drive) they are like 150 megs for each game, but its worth it if you are into all those sweet retro games....there are only like 60 games that require the CHD files.....the rest just run w/ Mame :smile:

If you wanna check it out, they got aLLL kinds of ROM stuff there:

Edit:

They also now have a:

We have compiled a 20 dvd collection that contains tens of thousands of roms from both obscure and popular console systems, computer systems, calculators and more along with manuals and additional files.

Here is a link to what is on the 20 DVDs for you retro freaks:

Here is a link to exactly WHAT files (games, etc) you'll get on DVDs 1-13 ( a 3.4 meg zip containing a 21 meg txt file ) :

http://www.allmyroms.com/rommania1-13.zip

They have freakin games all the back from 1965.

Dark Tree, utter madness.

This is a very sad day. Later on my dad is going to pick me and my late
Amiga up and we'll take it to the dump for disposal. Oh well, it hardly
had any working games left anyway.

I've been around. Don't post much - topics tend to get bled dry before I find them.

i played MK on the Sega Genesis just because of the blood. super
nintendo didnt have any blood, grey s**t they called "sweat" came off
of them. that and the genesis's fatalities were like 10 time better

They're identical and there was a "blood code" for the SNES. The Genesis version was just blood enabled. If you turned it off it turned grey.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I tend to play NBA jam a bit on mame, but thats pretty much it.

To get something to work, sometimes you just have to beat your head against the wall longer; the skin grows back, but the brick doesn't.

No, not in mine ar least. On my genesis version of MK if you wait till
the code of honor screen and hit a,b,a,c,a,b,b it activates blood mode.
and if you dont do it nothing comes out of anyone when your hit. you
punch soemone and nothing comes off of them. it also alters their
fatalities with blookd mode on. for instance if you do sub zeros with
blood mode off, he just upper cuts them into like the middle of no
where up in the sky and they dont fall down. and with blood mode on he
rips of their head and spine. on the SNES i dont beleive there was any
blood mode at all. because nintendo was gay and took it out. and then
genesis out sold it 3 to 1. Maybe it was all different for the UK (dont
know if your from the UK or not)
