What are emulators?
|
|
Emulators in general
are programs which allow you to run software originally designed for one system
on a different system. They do this by emulating the hardware in the original
system. In terms of gaming, you can play SNES games on a PC or even Mega Drive
games on a PSP, all with the use of emulators. |

What are "ROMs
and ISOs"?
|
|
ROMs are the game
files extracted from the original cartridge or cassette. Any game taken from a
CD or DVD is usually called an ISO. |

Where can I find emulators and ROMs?

You can find all
these ROMs and emulators right here. |

|
How big are ROMs
and emulators?
|
|
The sizes of the
emulators are small (normally less than 1MB) however ROM sizes can range from
4KB to 4GB. Cassette based games are usually under 1MB, cartridge based games
are rarely over 100MB, and games on a disc really be anything from 10MB to
700MB. |

|
|
You don't have the ROM I want.
Where can I find it?
|
|
You should go to our
Search Page to see if you can find it
there. |

|
Where can I find ROMs for PS3,
XBOX360 and Wii? |
|
You won't any files like that here,
it is our policy to only supply games for obsolete systems (this keeps us on the
good side of the DMCA). Plus any kind of emulation of these systems is a very
very long way away. With powerful systems like these why not just buy the real
thing? |
