Your Favorite Emulator for...
 
What is your favorite emulator for different platforms? I'm interested to see what the best is out there, I've tried a few, but not all. Also, where do you go to get your emulators and roms? I personally use xdcc packetnews.com and get it over IRC.

My favorite for N64 is Project 64. It's the only N64 emulator I've found that doesn't have an immense amount of problems. NESticle is a good emulator... but I find the icon a little vulgar. ZSNES was my favorite for SNES last time I used it, but that was years ago. Has anything better come out?

Don't we already have a thread like this?

Keep in mind that I'm a Mac user.
NES: I use Nestopia. I've never had to use another emulator for certain roms.
Genesis: Genesis Plus, unless I'm playing a rom hack. For some raisin, Genesis Plus hates those.
SNES: SNES9x, a wonderful emulator.
GBA: BoycottAdvance.
SMS/Game Gear: SMS Plus.
N64: I'll get back to you on that one.

Do you think SNES9x is better than ZSNES? It's been a long time since I've used either.

I'm fairly certain I saw a thread recently like this >_>

NES: (Nesticle? Can't remember)
SNES: ZSNES
Saturn: SSF
PS1: ePSXe or PSXeven
Genesis: Quite a medley of emulators to be honest... KGEN or KEGA probably above all else?

evilboris Apr 11, 2007 06:12 PM

k then, my list

NES: dunno, dont care, last time I checked FCE Ultra had the best sound for Mappy.
SNES: ZSNES
Megadrive/Mega CD/32x: Kega Fusion, nothing else compares.
Saturn: SSF, what else
Dreamcast: Nulldc once they fix the alphablending issue and hook up joypads.
GBA: Visualboyadvance
N64: all of them suck ass

SuperSonic Apr 11, 2007 07:32 PM

NES: Used to be a big fan of Jnes, but FCE Ultra didn't make Classic Concentration look crappy so now I'm on that.
SNES: ZSNES
Genesis/Sega CD/32x: Gens, it rocks.
Saturn: Still trying to get one to work, but SSF has come closest.
GBA: VisualBoyAdvance.
N64: Project 64, best N64 emulator ever.
PS1: ePSXe
PSP: UMDemulator on the PSP.
Arcade: MAME.
TI-99 4A: Win994a
Master System: MEKA, just because I wanted to try out the Rocky game after seeing AVGN's review of it.

There is a port of ZNES for Intel Macs at least. (If there's a universal binary port out there, let me know.) It has worked pretty well for the times I've felt like procrastinating in a certain computer lab.

Anyway, I use:

NES: Whatever. I have no emulator preference; I usually google around until I find something that looks decent, as I continually forget the emulator I used the last time I played an NES ROM.
SNES: ZSNES
Saturn: :SSFrules:
PSX: ePSXe
GBA: Virtualboyadvance
N64: I use PJ64, but I don't play N64 ROMs much at all, particularly due to the fact that I own most of the N64 games that I'd ever want to play.

Forsety Apr 11, 2007 08:13 PM

arcade: MAME
gb/c: bgb (I prefer it to VBA; less scratchy sound. No cool filters tho...)
gba: none, I have a flashcard so I don't need it.
genesis/sega CD: gens32 surreal / kega fusion (processor heavy with the hqx filters)
Master System: MEKA (only bothered really for ys)
n64: Project64
neo-geo: winkawaks w/ hacked loader
nes: nestopia (hqx filters and asquire's 'realityc' palette mapper ftw)
pc-engine: magicengine (is there even anything else that works right?)
psx: epsxe / psxfin (depends on the games -- 2d i use psxfin / 3d epsxe)
saturn: SSF
snes: zsnes (ipher's wips mostly since the official build barely changes)

Yup. I love my emulation. I try to use emulators which are still actually being updated. I'm amazed people still use stuff like nesticle... that hasn't been touched in years.

Render Apr 11, 2007 09:41 PM

GB/GBC/GBA: VisualBoyAdvance
NES: FCE Ultra (best I've encountered for Windows)
SNES: ZSNES (ipher's wip builds) sucks ass they took out NetPlay :(
N64: Project64 works beautifully with the 6 good games for that system o_O
PSX: ePSXe (great with all the games I have except Chrono Trigger) :(
PS2: PCSX2 (very experimental, but the next release will allow FFX and X-2 to be played without graphic corruption, still runs 60+FPS on my system)

I'd like to try a recent build of a Gamecube emulator. I don't have any ISOs for that system anymore. Super Mario Sunshine ran like ass on my Athlon 3200+ a couple years ago. :/

Third to complain remember about a thread like this before ;)

NES: NesterJ - Small and compact. Not much frills
SNES: ZSNES - I remember SNES9x and didn't like it because I had to turn off a layer for a certain part in Final Fantasy V, but didn't know that. No layer switching needed in ZSNES for the most part so I've used it for a long time.
Neo Geo: Neorage - I don't care that this is blatantly outdated, it's simple to use with not too many frills to distract me. >=P
Arcade: MAME? - I'm stumped here and am looking for a good one that supports Kaillera. My friends have switched emus to support online play so much that I don't know what's the best one anymore.
PSX: ePSXe - The only one I know of.

Grawl Apr 12, 2007 05:47 AM

SNES: ZSnes
Arcade: Mame32
PSX: ePSXe
N64: Project64
GBA: VisualBoyAdvance
Genesis: Fusion

Sup.

SNES9x, hands down. It works well with Emulator Enhancer, is highly configurable and plays like a charm with utmost realism to the Snes engine.

cstrife0777 Apr 14, 2007 11:07 PM

NES: FCEUltra
SNES: ZSNES
Genesis/SegaCD/GameGear/MasterSystem: Kega Fusion or DGen for ripping sprites
GameBoy/GBA: VisualBoyAdvance
NeoGeo: NeoRAGE
PS1: ePSXe
