Game Emulators
How do they work?
Game Emulators
This proably sounds really stupid , but could someone please explain to me how emulators work? I know that you can play old NES games and even N64 games on your computer, but I'm confused as to how you can go about doing that. Haha, I even tried downloading an emulator myself, but all I got was a screen that looked like Windows command prompt or something. I'm confused! Could someone please clarify these programs for me? Thanks.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go play pirated games on my Xbox!
Ahem... anyway... I've not tried n64 for stuff... but the NES and Super NES and aracde stuff is pretty self-explanatory... erm... I'm on my way out or I'd try to help more.

I'd tell them!J-man wrote:I'm wondering though, how would they find out if you did have it? Just wondering..
But yeah, they are pretty self-explanatory...
Do a Google search for whatever emulator you want... download it. Do a search for whatever game rom you want. Download it. Open emulator. Use emulator to open game. Play game.
Though I will caution that like 85% of rom sites like to advertise for naked cartoon characters and such...

Well... soon they will all be available again thanks to the Wii, so that argument won't work anymore.
I just got some arcade ones, myself... the Punisher game is quite entertaining...

Woohoo!
I found an awesome site the other day that had TONS of MAME (arcade) roms to download... I finally got the old Spider-man arcade game I've long desired and couldn't find!
