[General Discussion] The Emulation Thread

NES - NEStopia is the emulator of choice for me, just seems to be the first one that popped up during a search of NES Emulators. Doesn't matter much, since I've only played Double Dragon I/II/III and Contra on it.

SNES - I personally use SNES9x because I prefer it's user interface over ZSNES's interface. Works fine for me.

Genesis/MasterSystem/32x/CD - Fusion is an awesome emulator for all of Sega's Systems in one (well, except the Saturn and the Dreamcast). Emulates fine, good speed, good sounds (well as good as the hardware, Genesis sounds horrible compared to SNES)

Playstation - ePSXe. No question about it, this emulator has served me well with a ton of different plugins for versatility. I like my games to look smooth, so I like the texture smoothing and Hi-Res options.

Nintendo 64 - Project 64. I haven't used anything else, but this one works fine for me.

GB/GBC/GBA - VisualBoyAdvance is the emulator of choice here, runs everything great and has loads of features. The only exception here is if I happen to be playing the Pre-GBA Pokemon games, in which case, I use TGB-Dual.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't know why you have to keep changing the plugin settings for games and whatnot, but I haven't had to. My settings work for most games, and for those that don't work, the plugins are pretty self-explanatory on how to fix and such. I just turn everything on high, and it works for the most part. Then again, I don't play much outside of Final Fantasy, and those don't take much for the most part.

Plus it isn't really hard to change the plugins.

Seconded. I don't find it that hard to change things since everything has a description next to it (well, for Pete's Plugins anyways). It's very easy to use for me, and I'm not a big expert on computing.

As for a Gamecube Emulator, The best right now is Dolphin I think, but even then, it's more or less not playable. You'd be better off with a real Gamecube for that.

How ya doing, buddy?
