Yuppers!

Emulators are really good!

Without them, us FF Fans would’nt be able too play the good old classics, without having too buy either, a SNES, NES, or buy the re-released PS1 versions..

I own 300 Emulators! Cause there so damn good!

And now i’ve played every FF In the world…

What are your opinions/views on the gods called "Emulators"…

:eye:

If i remember correctly, Emulators are illegal unless you already own the game. This thread will be getting closed soon.

I’m moving this to General Gaming…

EDIT:

Now for my reply. ^^

I love Emus, I have a SNES one and I can’t think of what I’d do without it. I play all sorts of retro RPGs on there and they’re fabulous!

This is borderline…

I’m gonna leave this open for now, but with one very strict rule. Do not post any links to any emulators or any ROMs. The moment I see anything like that, I’ll close it.

As for emulators: I reckon the gaming companies like Nintendo and Sega are missing out on a market here. In my opinion, there are plenty of gamers out there who would pay money to buy a legally licensed emulator made by the said video game company, and then pay a set amount to download a ROM legally, or buy them on disk.

Similarly, there are CDs available with retro Spectrum and Amiga games upon them, and those, as far as I know, are strictly legal.

If Nintendo or Sega actually decide to do a licensed thing like this to run on PCs, they could make a killing on the market, so to speak. I mean, the SNES and Megadrive are obsolete anyways, only hardcore gamers own them. So… Why not release emulators for us to buy? I know I’d bend over backwards to buy emulation versions of Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG, Shining Force and Shining Force 2, Phantasy Star… The list goes on.

I play emulators alot, i play them more then i play my playstation or even watch tv sometimes which is very sad.

Have a nice day…I want you soul….

Haha, Sucks to be all of you 😛

I actually own a SNES and a Nintendo 😛

I savior my gaming systems 😉

I actully have an original copy of Final Fantasy 1 in good condition =)

My favorite thing about emulators is the chance to play games that had never been translated in the US before, or to play old favorites of mine with better translations.

You’re right when you say they’re missing out on a market though. At least Nintendo is porting a lot of great games *cough*river city ransom*cough* over to the GameBoySP.

Isn’t there are way to turn your dreamcast into an emulator? I recall reading about it somewhere or other.

BLAH.
I’m against illegal emulation 🙁
I made the personal investment in a jamma board/Neo-geo six-slot arcade machine because I believed so furvently that one should own the game if they like it.

Though I have played games on emulator before buying them :p

Trouble is monkeyman, SNES’s aren’t really in stample supply these days :/

It can be hard to get the game you want if it is old. Emulators releave this. I personally rarely use Emu’s because I don’t have much time for games that don’t visually excite me 😛

Ebay, though I suppose that doesn’t really help the companys anyway. I’m mostly against Neo-geo MAMEs :p

There Illegal unless you own the game!?

…Oh well.. -shrugs-

LOL, You didn’t know that? 😛
