Throw away ur game console!

Posted in Mobile, PC by namzo on May 16, 2008

Sorry if the title of this post seems kinda harsh. But for those who don’t know yet, emulators of ur favorites game consoles are available for ur PC and mobile devices (phones, PSPs etc.). And they’re all waiting to be downloaded ;) .

What are Emulators?

Simply put, they are programs that allow u play games from ur game consoles(Playstation, Dreamcast, Saturn, Nintendo64…..) on ur Personal computer or mobile device. They usually require a bios of the game console u’re emulating in order to work. For example the PSX console requires the PSX bios(i.e. SCPH1001) in order to work. Bad news though is that its illegal, but good news is that dat’s probably d only way to get it..While d better news is dat i don’t mind sharing :P .

Now lets start!

What console do you want to emulate? For starters, lets say PlayStation.

  1. You’ll need an emulator(u don’t need brains to figure dat out).
  2. You’ll need all necessary plugins like video, sound, bios e.t.c
  3. You’ll need the ROM of the game u want to play(u don’t just want 2 install all those stuffs without playing d game, do u?)

1. There are many sites where you can get emulators for game consoles. Try these: Aldotools, or Bestdownload, just 2 mention a few- U could google up more if u wish. Just for the rec, the PSX emulator i prefer is ePSXe, used 2 be Bleem! in those days of Win98 but u know, things change.

2. U can get all the necessary plugins for ePSXe and other Emulators in one piece at Aldotools except the PSX bios, which i’ll give to you shortly.

3. With ePSXe and some other emulators which are from consoles that use CDs, u can play the same CDs on ur PC. But for emulators of catridge games like N64, u can download the roms.

I think thats about all for now folks….Oh, i almost forgot here is the PSX bios(SCPH1001) ..Happy gaming.
