PSX on PC

[MikeReiner]

Only the original playstation is worth emulating. The there is at best a decent PS2 emu, PCSX2.. which runs terrible on my PC.

The Super Nintendo emulators works great and there are TONS of ROMS for it too. I just recommend getting that. They're all over the place too.

Don't even bother with current-gen emulators. Running that stuff is already hard enough, but including a layer of software inbetween? Forget about it.

Of course, getting NES emulators are awesome. I love playing those old classics like Super Mario Bros. The graphics may leave much to be desired, but the gameplay is legendary.

The MAME emu rocks!, you know, those cool arcade games , in the movies, arcades etc. like Marvel VS Street fighter .. time crisis.. awesome games!, although i can't get it up and running.

Can someone post some cool sites to get some roms?

Awesome link. Now I just need to find myself a SNES emulator.

MAME rocks. My current project is to get a PC running MAME in a cabinet with a monitor and all the controls. Later I might even expand it and put in coin slots, nice speakers, art, etc. But I can't get any of my junk PC's running. I found a P4 gateway the other day with everything but a hard drive and power supply, so maybe I'll have more luck with that.

What's the main difference between MAME and a regular video game emulator?

vNES is a emulator that runs entirely in browser, so you don't need to install anything other than Java.

Noting. MAME is an arcade emulator (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator I believe). Basically it emulates a bunch of different arcade games, which is more complicated that you would think. A lot of them use different chipsets, processors, etc. and there's a lot of differences between manufacturers. But there are a ton of roms available. If you get it, I would suggest MAME32, it runs in a nice UI instead of command prompt and has a list of all the available games.
