Emulators
Ok so you want to play the games huh? Well first of all if this the "first" time you've ever come
across "emulation" here it is in a nutshell: emulation is when you get one computer to to copy another.
For example having your PC run as a SNES or Gameboy. Emulators are programs that allow your Computer just that - to
act as SNES's or as other platforms.
Anywayz now that all that technical stuff's out of the way here's all that you
have to do. Just download the emulator needed for the game platform you want. (just check the required emulator on list below!)
and unzip it in any directory you want ie. c:\Programfiles\emulators\. Then just unzip the games in the same directory as the
emulator! Here's the emulators:
- SNES
- The SNES emulators. Here's 2 of the coolest SNES emulators I've found online. Unfortunately these
are the windows/dos version only! (sorry!) If you want the other versions or other emulators I suggest EMUX.com which
is a great souce for emulators!
- Snes9x - My personal favourite SNES emulator! Runs most of the games found out there!
- ZSNES - Another excellent SNES emulator. Anythin that can't run on SNes9x will usually run here! after sayin that anythin that doesn't run
here will usually run in the other!
- GameBoy
- The GameBoy emulators. Again here's 2 good Gameboy Emulators I found.. unfortunatley they're also windows/dos! so if you want
the other versions try out the site I mentioned above!
- Smygb 0.20 - a fairly new but excellent Gameboy Emulator for windows with Color and Super Color support!
- No$GmB - an excellent DOS Gameboy Emulator that's been around for a while with support for Gameboy Color and Super Color as well!
- MegaDrive/Genesis
- Megadive/Genesis emulators! Here's two of my favourite Megadrive emulators both being in DOS format.
- KGen98 - a really good Genesis/Megadrive DOS emulator that's been around for along time!
- Genecyst - another old and reliable Genesis/Megadrive emulatos. It's also available in several formts! check out EMUX.com for other versions
- Game Gear
- Finally the emulator needed for the Game Gear games!
- Massage - a really old emulator for Game Gear although it actually does work..though not really newbie friendly. I'll try and get a better one when I get the time! Sorry!
