Their official site to download the emulators is going to be fine, it's finding ROMS that I'm worried about. I asked before, but I guess I should rephrase myself. Is there any sites I should downright avoid? I miss the old Mame.DK days where it was a simple site, just download and go. The last few sites I went on before I gave up were filled with popup adds, stupid surveys and most of the time they didn't have the most common games that most people already own.
Yeah i think thats the biggest problem of open source consoles, no games only emulators that relay to 95% on pirated files to play games.
Actually i dont think a lot ppl own actually hardware to dump games they really bought.
When i think how complicated it actually often is to do that on your own. Sure its actually a lot more easy to just download the games from somewhere.
I often think the industry calls thouse emulatorcoders, gamedumpers or gamecopyers bad people and all, but when you think of it, thease people made its possible that companys can sell old games online again and emulate em on new consoles or PCs. They made it possible to have a market for emulation hardware. The biggest plus in my eyes is they make it possible to store thouse games and save them that you can use em later in the future again.
I can actually agree that new games should not be availible as copy, but old games ?
Then again, buy new emulation hardware to play old games ?
Speaking of me i rarely buy new games, mostly 1-2 year old PC games for very little money. Lately i bought some NGPC Games and a NGP even i could also play em for free on a NGPC.
As for your question with the popups and all. Try use firefox and adblockplus plugin.
