    Hi all,

    Massive retro gaming fan here. only found this section of boards today! Amazing!! hehe

    Just spotted the thread on here [http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=70306]
    regarding links to all emulators.

    Was going to download the SNES one's but just have a couple of questions:

    Are they still safe to download (security-wise)?
    And can Mario Kart and Desert Strike be gotten on these? hehe
    two of my favourite nintendo games :)

    Cheers

    The best SNES emulator you can get is BSNES, however it requires high system requirements. If you can't run it fast then SNES9x and ZSNES would be the best. Get them from the official sites and there should be no security problems.

    All games are playable on these emulators. We can't tell you where to get them because it's illegal but google helps.

    Sweet.
    I built a top of the range PC only 6 months ago so should be able to handle it no problem. Ill try the BSNES one first.

    Possible to use an xbox controller on it do you know? Or what setup do you use?

    You can use an xbox 360 controller but it's not recommended because the d-pad is absolutely appalling on it. PS3 pad is a bit better but again it's got a slightly better but still terrible d-pad. I use a 360 street fighter 4 fightstick which would be the preferred method if you have one. Any PC joypad will work as well. If you really want the full experience then you can get converters for old joypads so you can play with an old SNES pad.

    Welcome to the A&R forum!

    An xbox controller will work but you need the cable accessory to get it to work with a PC. If your PC has bluetooth (or could pick up a cheap dongle) then you can use PS3 and Wii Controllers on your PC, failing that a logitech usb type joypad will obviously do the trick.

    Edit: Or what Retr0 said :)

    perfect, I have a few old NES and SNES pads there, sega too.... might look into that. I'll pick up a PS style for the moment though.

    I assume the multiplayer games can be played with 2 players etc ye?

    Gonna be hours of fun hehe

    I use a X-box original controller that i modded to connect to usb.
    Works very well (Awaits Retro to slate the controller for not being suitable:rolleyes:)

    Yep, hook up 2 controllers through USB (or 4 for bomberman, highly recommended) and away you go.

    On the subject of emulation has anyone tried to emulate the Bandai Playdia

    Not sure if there is even an emu but may as well ask

    The software line up looks worse than the CDi.

    Every console has at least one game on it that makes it worth getting. Except the Playdia :)

    Hi SkrApsAK,
    Welcome to the forum!

    Just one little question so's I can get an idea of how we're going to get along.

    Do you like Streets of Rage or Goldenaxe?

    Do you dream of Gunstar Heroes?

    Do you enjoy Halo games or have a fondness for playing Goldeneye to this day?

    Do you have Boulderdash underpants and worry about when the rocks are going to finally drop?

    Do you play games via the following,
    RF
    Composite
    RGB
    VGA
    If so, which is best?

    And finally, do you own a Nes yet? All the hep cats here have one!

    Both
    Used to back in the day but Super Probotector was my game tbh
    Neither
    Always!!
    HDMI as I mostly play PC these days with dual monitors :) Sharper and clearer is always my priority

    Still have my NES, SNES and Megadrive, but not as many games as I would like (buying here and there as I find them). Also have an atari somewhere round here.
    Predominantly a PC gamer these days though.

    Like it or lump it :D

    Ok,
    Thanks for playing.

    For liking Streets of Rage and Golden Axe and the derogatory remarks about Halo I'm afraid you're going to have to leave.
    Mind how you go now.... ;)


    Only kidding!
