attn sevenstar, and others about emulators

What's the legal stuff with it?
If I don't own the actual game Final Fight I can't download it?
I don't understand.

Technically you can't but i dont think theres a person alive who actually follows that rule. Websites write a disclaimer for legal reasons. Your only supposed to download the rom if you own the game or atleast the package it came in. The reason being is that
the rom is really a backup. Say for example the actual game gets destroyed or the tv is being used, you now can play it on your computer. If you dont own the game your "supposed" to delete the rom after 24 hours. (Yeah right)

No one or organization is going to check everyone so they wont check you...download away...

[Ryu]

well my emulator thing doesn't work anyway, I downloaded that, but it doesn't play any games.

Ah well, I don't need it :D
Technology is just too much for me LOL I wave the white flag.

Same thing happened with me Ryu. I downloaded the thing, downloaded some games into my roms folder and then started the emulator and pressed F5 but it didn't find any games. Turns out lifes not a big bowl of cherries after all.:(

[Martial Joe]

for super nintendo use snes9x or zsnes...

Thats what I use...good stuff, really, check it out!

[Leonidas]

Finding roms and emulators that work are a pain in the a$$ and i can't really suggest any sites cuz the site either only lasts for a few months, they dont have many roms, there roms don't work, or they do work but the site is annoying as hell with a million pop up windows so you never get to download anything. When you do find something, the nostalgia alone is worth it.........good luck.

check in Kazaa or Morpheus.. I beleive there are some classics there

I think that they don't care much about NES, SNES, and other old system emulaters. But I hope they shut down those sites with GBA emus..it's going to really hurt Nintendo.

<a href=http://www.edgeemu.com>great emu site</a>

[Gigante]

Yeah emu's aren't exactly the most user-friendly software... but it's worth the hassle to set them up! Free game nostalgia!!

I've been a MAME addict for years. Got all the games for it, about 3000... I don't play much though... I just collect... :-)

www.retrogames.com is the place to go... for emulation news etc... but they have no roms.

www.mame.dk is the place to go for MAME roms.

And MAME plays the arcade version of Final Fight. Definitely better than the console versions.

[Martial Joe]

I can find places that have all the new system emulaters...even ps2...

[Ryu]

well I can do it legally....but when I download a rom I can't play it on the emulator. Why not? I got the mame one...

What do I do?

[Leonidas]

The best you can hope for is a solution in the help manual that comes with the emulator. If not, just download it from a different site.
