I need a good emulator and ROMs

Recommended Posts

Ok it seems anytime I DL any Emulator or ROM it freezes my computer up and i have to reset it.

But I don't even know what a good Emulator is or where to find them.

I've heard of MAME for the arcade games but I can't figure out how to use that damn thing or where to find ROMs for it(i want wrestlefest and x-men).

Anyways I also want a good SNES emulator and a good NES emulator. Can anyone send these too me or direct me to a place?

And explain why the completely freeze my computer but they used to work on my old really shitty computer?

best place for snes and nes roms for me is romnation.net they have just about every single nes game and almost all of the snes games (cept for the mario and kirby ones) now for emulators: for nes the best one is rocknes, i like it better than nesticle and for snes is snes9x, hope that helped

I second EmuAsylum as well. You have a 120MB download limit a day, but that's nothing if you only want SNES or Genesis ROMs.

 

Oh, and for WrestleFest, you have to get the Raine emulator, I believe.

Not true.

 

I use MAME and Wrestlefest works fine.

ZSNES is quite a bit better than SNES9x, IMHO. Both work well, though.

ZSNES will play games like Star Fox and Yoshi's Island and Star Ocean.

I suggest getting MAME 32K v0.64 (generally considered the most stable version out there). There are a bunch of different sites with ROM's, just make sure they're compatable with the Emulator you pick up as some of the newer stuff around (Killer Instinct comes to mind right off the bat) won't work on older Emulators.

I have a question. I d/led Number Munchers (shut up) from that site, and when I play it, it just shuts down after like a minute. Anyone know why this might be happening?

For an emulator, try Project 64. You can get it here.

 

For roms, try the sites already listed in this thread.

I've been wanting to get a mega-cd emulator for ages with Sol-Faece, any ideas?

I downloaded a boatload of roms for MAME32, which is up to version 0.95.

 

Load and save game states rule.

 

And the underdogs is a confusing site at best. I have been trying to get Phantasie II and Eternal Dagger for the PC for a long time, and cannot find it.

They have Phantasie 1 and 3, but not 2. Do a google search for abandonware sites. You'll find it somewhere, I'm sure.

 

The Underdogs site is great. It's the way the games are sorted that's awful.

I forgot that Phantasie II was released only on the C64 and I think the Apple II... problem solved.
