That's some good info. But is all of that legal? I remember the Nintendo emulators back in the day had some loophole they worked around to make it legal.

they are against law at lease in the us everywhere else who knows I think Japan and parts of europe have that same law. You can have the emulators but not the roms themselves. the 24 hour rule is bogus since roms are illegal. PLus I seen what a ps, xbox and ps2 rom size look like those are huge.

So just a friendly remind any posting of links or downloads and you will get your posting suspended.

i have heard of them but like you say they are against the law so i have haeard. But i know if you have a psp they are making a ps1 emulator for it so that should be cool if you own one.

Can a PC handle a PS2/XboX game? What's the point of a PS2 or an XboX then?

I love emus! I have around 10 gb roms in my computer, i honestly believe that I have ALL nintendo games in the world - apart from gamecube because it doesnt work on my comp=(

They are still developing the gamecube emulator slowly, however, the betas are really crappy

By the way, what console will own 2006? omg must make new topic for this =)

Emulators and ROMs are illegal if you do not own the game. If you actually own the game and the system that you are playing then they are legal. If not, you have 24 hours to remove them from your computer. I have always used ROMs to play the old nintendo and snes games when i was younger since a bunch of times the system was in a different room of the house and it was easier to switch games. Now, at college, i never feel like bringing my ps2 to school and just bring the games and play on the emulator. This is legal for me but not for the guy who started this post.

Emulators are free. All emulators are legal to own provided you own the game and the console, but then again, why use the emulator unless you're a college student who wants to play an old saturn game on his laptop. PC emulators work on the same concept, if you legally own the PC then you can emulate it legally.

i think emulators are cool and i think its really cool that u can play roms with the PSP but it stinks that they only work on the 1.50 and 1.00 firmware but this guy named fanjita created this thing called an eboot loader so people could play roms on the 2.01, 2.50, and 2.60 firmwares but you need to have grand theft auto: liberty city stories, fortunately i had that game. but i accidently updated to 2.71 and now i cant run any roms or homebrew...stupid sony

Emulator + Roms

Despite what a lot of people are saying, emulators themselves are NOT illegal. They are actually created, so the person can actually claim that it's their own system.

The ROMs themselves, however, are illegal unless you already have bought a copy of the actual game, or the game is no longer being sold. Yes, that makes every Super Nintendo and N64 game legal, no matter if you bought it or not, since they aren't being sold anymore. However, with the coming of the Wii, those ROMs are becoming illegal again because now you can buy the game on the Wii.

ROMs are very convenient and I am not discouraging you from using them, however please refrain from using ROMs unless you already own a copy of the game or the makers of the game will not have their copyright infringed. People of companies make games to get themselves money, and if you're paying someone else to get a ROM who won't give the company who made it some money or if you're playing it for free without it being some sort of demo or somebody had already previously bought it and you return it to them (you know, like borrowing a friend's game) then yes, you are cheating on the company.

What is really cool about the emulators and roms is that you can play them anywhere you can have a pc, even a laptop on the road. Which is something you cant do with a console, except the portable ones. I know they are illegal but when it comes to playing the old classic games... Where are you supposed to get a Nintendo Entertainment System now days anyways?

Oh... yeah. I forgot that theres a Nintendo Wii now.....

Yeah roms are only legal if you are using the rom as a backup of the game that you own yourself, and if not you can only use it for 24 hours. Although really how is anyone going to find out that you are playing rom games that you dont have, and really no one cares. Roms are great though and with the controller for the pc it makes it even better. I know they have out now like ps2 emulators and what not but i found it to be a waste of time. Theres no good emulators out, your computer takes a strain when using it and really i have only found very few roms that are even available for it. Well i guess we will just have to wait until it gets as old as the SNES and then there will be a bunch of games available.

Exactly, emulators will always be behind. They don't intend to be up to date. They are being used to revive games you cannot play anymore (because it is a retro game) or for some it is the best substitute for a real console because they lack the money to buy one.

Many users of emulators are PC gamers, they'd never buy a console nor console games. For free (and sometimes ilegally) they can however play medium aged console games in addition to their pc games. So in the end it is the pc gamers laughing at console gamers. At least, I haven't seen a console seriously running pc games lately...

Out of a technical point of view emulators often run games even better than the original mashine. Take the N64 emulator: On your tv screen you could run the game at the natural NTSC or PAL resolution, which is something around 700x500 pixels. The emulator on the pc allows to run the same games at a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels with Antialiasing and anisotropic filtering activated. That is pretty neat, don't you think?

For one thing I always buy the console and don't emulate: The "collector" in me. For me it is great to have all these small consoles and collect all the game-modules and cds. Somehow it satisfies more than having a game folder on a harddrive...

emulators are only good till PS1
Now, even PS2 emulation is not perfect (you cant play any games at full fps i think)
So, it will be a real long time before you can emulate PS3. You may need a real strong sys like quadcore/DX10 card to play.. LoL
In the end, emulators will be forever behind consoles, so if you want to play the latest and greatest console games, buy the console!
