once in a while desmume esp the faster one (forgot the name- rydian might know).

gbaoid and a ds emu on the android though rarely due to the slow speed.

mostly i used the epsxe emu on the android as it was stable and fast enough to finish ff9 which is graphics heavy. (on Glxy Tab 10.1 v1)

I used to emulate all the time, before swearing off piracy of any kind. I still keep some emulators and ROMs of games I already own handy on my phone and tablet though, in case I'm ever on a trip and get an itch to play NES or SNES favorites. And even then, I almost never use them.

I use an Original Xbox, Wii, and my computer for emulation. I have so many games, and the consoles to play them, but it's such a pain to individually hook them up. On my Xbox, I'll play N64 and PSx games. On the Wii, I emulate GBA, NES, SNES, GENESIS games. My computer does everything else. It's nice to keep my games limited to 3 consoles, because I have a room where I display all of my gaming merchandise, and its terrible to constantly lug the consoles back and forth.

Does Xbox really better-emulate N64 and PSX than the Wii does?

Well, I'm not sure. I've only recently modded my Wii. My Xbox has been modded for a year now, and I was mostly using that for emulation. I'm currently moving everything over to the Wii in regards to emulation. I'll check it out later, and make a comparison.

The Wii N64 emulator isn't that good at all... I think most of that has to do with the fact that it was barely worked on before being essentially abandoned though, not because the Wii can't do it (obviously it can, as VC proves).

Nah, never emulated. Actually I did twice, once for Metroid Fusion and once for Legacy of Goku 2. Got like an hour into those games, and deleted it. Never emulated since. I see no point in it for me.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    1st video- That's why I hate ordering stuff online, if I can just go pick it up myself nearby. Wal-Mart online did that to me years ago, sent wrong item, I went to Wal-Mart by me to return, but noo, I had to mail it back and wait.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    99% of the time ordering online I have had flawless experiences, only time something was messed up, I ordered a big TV from Amazon and it came smashed the box was literally like some one jumped up and down on it, didn't even open it, contacted Amazon sent them pictures, they made me open it and take more pictures, free label to return it and they sent another. So it was relatively painless. But still annoying.
