Emulation, Good or Bad

TheAngelHidden · Post by **TheAngelHidden** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 1:35 am

I love to play old SNES games on my computer, I have a bunch of good games on my computer. I also like the fact that I can play games that will never come to the US...Love Hina Advanced for example. What are your opinions

Personally as long as a game isn't commercially available I don't mind it. I avoid it as often as possible though.

Naturally, see the other topic you asked about it in.

I heard Lunar Eternal Blue was going to have a GBA port...something like Lunar Legends 2.

That would stink, the game just isn't meant for portability.

Yeah emulation is good.

Currently building a MAME aracde unit - whats also cool as i can put MAME into a shell and run ZSNES and other emulators through my arcade setup.

emulation is always fun

I'm currently running Office under Linux thanks to it!

Means next time I get a native word file someone's gone to town formatting I don't have to reformat it when I use OpenOffice.

emulation is good.
it saves me a lot of room, this way i don't have to have my amiga, bbc and atari all set up just to play the odd game or three, just double click the emulator and off you go.

actually, for a (short) while, I had my pc booting up straight into my emulated amiga... it was great!

Spectrum Emulator + Rebelstar + Rebelstar II + Chaos = Heaven (or the gay club of your choice)

I'm all up for emulation, its not like people can really make any money from all those defunct games anymore. Its a way of rembering those that have passed away and now live...on my gp32

I think it's alright. I'd definitely play some old games if I could... I was in love with the original Dragon Warrior game and Dizzy games as a kid.
