• Need help with emulating AC3

  Next, any legit iso/rom site will work. Personally, I use CoolROM, but if you find another site, go for it. You'll also need the PS1 BIOS. You can pretty easily find it with a simple google search. (Pretty sure CoolROM also has it on there). Source: about 1 year ago

• Earthbound black screen

  Is that coolrom.com.au? coolroms.com goes to a dead site for me? Can't see Earthbound on coolrom.com.au though either. Source: over 2 years ago

• Your way to pirate Roms

  Https://coolrom.com.au/ for this one I use a tampermoney script so that I can get a zip not a exe. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Jailbreaking, Piracy, & the Content Policy

  Don't talk about where to get specific software unless your mods are willing to curate a list of ESA-compliant websites (those that only list abandoned/public domain games, and will promptly remove a game from their list when asked by the publisher or rights holder).

• I feel like people put down MelonDS too much here

  MelonDS is actually doing a lot of really cool stuff. I can't speak too much on the Android build, but on PC they have actually gotten multiplayer too work flawlessly and they are currently working on implementing netplay. You can keep up with their progress here. Source: about 1 year ago

• Hi, new to emulators. I had a question, can I run gba and nds games on this?

  No, you can use mGBA for GBA games, and MelonDS for NDS games. Source: about 1 year ago

• Completely new to emulation

  AFAIK randomizers are usually romhacks, and so they should work on most DS emulators, I personally use melonDS, however you can find a list of DS emulators here. Source: about 1 year ago
