The Great World of Emulation

For those of you who aren't familiar with emulation, I'm going to give you a rundown on what its about and how to do it. Alright, emulation is basically playing a home console (like the sega genesis or the n64) through your computer. I believe the best one that they have to date is the ps1, but emulation is great for snes games, n64 games, nes games, and many others. Lets start emulating, first thing you need to do is download a program that allows you to emulate the games. Some of my favorites are visualboyadvance which is a game boy advance emulator, and project64 which is an emulator for the n64. Then when you have the program that you need downloaded, go find some games(also known as roms) to play on your emulator. I'll list some sites of where to find emulators and games on the right hand side of my page. After you find your game, unzip it if necessary(usually not, usually plays zipped) then start your emulator and open up your game. Now, if you want a true gaming experience, you can buy a little apadter that allows you to plug in your controller (doesn't matter which one) to the side of your computer (usb) That's about it, its that simple. If you have any questions about plug-ins or anything emulation related, feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you asap.
