However, I can never seem to get MAME emulators to work...anyone know anything 'bout those?[/b]

I think the one you can download at the official site is for the command line. So you'd have to make a shortcut for each game adding the name of the game (of the ZIPped ROM) as a parameter to the target. For example the target could be «"C:\Program Files\Mame\mame.exe" tetris». All ROMs should be in the "roms" subfolder for Mame to find them.

The easy option though is using something like Mame32 which provides you with an easy interface and lets you run all your games from a single shortcut.

Yeah, I downloaded MAME32 once, and it came with around 300 games on it's Games list that I had no possesion of. Furthermore, when I put my roms in the "roms" directory, it seemed to not detect them at all (and yes, they were still zipped). I dunno, just can't seem to figure out it's interface...DOSBox is way easier to use...

You've got to tell Mame32 to refresh the list every time you've copied new games, and of course the first time. File > Audit all games

I love emulators as well, having several. Man, its great to pop up one of the oldies and just leave the regular world for a few hours.

But I'm having problem getting my Amiga-emulator to work, though. I use WinUAE or something, but it's all just gibberish to me. I have no idea what does what, and I can't seem to find a simple tutorial for true boneheads like me. A shame really, cause the good old A had som excelent games.
Oh well, I still have the option of temporarily downgrading my PC to a lowly C64, so not everything is bleak and gray!

Normally i stay away from emulators but some months ago an strange force took over me and moved me to get "Dinosaurs and Cadillacs" running in a Mame32 emulator.... i think that i finished the game twice before moving away

*realizes that they have indeed made C64 emulators and he needs to get his hands on 100 ROMs and an emulator as soon as possible*

*rushes to the nearest spyware-free Bittorrent site*

You didn't see anything...

Yeah, I didn't know they actually had emulators for that good 'ol piece of plastic and its 5" floppy goodness. And I want in.

emulators are fine with me. hell, i have lots on my computer. i have some of the systems i emulate though (snes, nes and dc to note)

[Havell]

I tend to only emulate the SNES and GBA, Advance Wars, the later Pokemon games and Final Fantasy 6 are the main game I play.

More advanced consoles are a bit over my head though, all that messing around with graphics settings and bios files. Alos, you can't control it through a keyboard (need a gamepad with joysticks).

[JJXB]

psx and n64 can be emulated with keyboard, doesn't work very well but otherwise it works. i use a 360 pad but been emulating a lot recently on my psp

Is there such a thing as a USB SNES controller for Super Nintendo emulation, or is this simply a wishful fantasy?
