  • Cheats on Visualboy Advance for Mac
    Visual Boy Advance is actually outclassed these days, use mGBA instead. Source: 10 months ago
  • I must know, how do you emulate fire emblem on a windows laptop?
    Which game do you want to emulate? If you're talking about fe7 (localized as just Fire Emblem in the west), you're gonna need a ROM which I can't link here but I can PM to you if you need it, and an emulator. I recommend Mgba (https://mgba.io/) for GBA games. Source: 10 months ago
  • Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble (D-Pad Controls) (GBC Hack)
    Install the GBA emulator called “mGBA” on your 3DS (You can install it through Universal Updater or heres a link to it: https://mgba.io [v0.10.2] ) It should be a cia file to install through FBI. Source: 10 months 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: 11 months ago
  • If you had to use the 4.5 navis to create a team, who would you choose?
    Here's the thread for the Real Battle Network Gameplay patch, here's the English translation patch, and here's the emulator I recommend where you can just slot in the Navi of your choice to unlock them immediately. The ROM you'll have to scare up for yourself, but I'm sure you can handle it. Source: 12 months ago

  • started playing tecmo super bowl yesterday and I'm hooked. I'm 16 and i wish this is what I grew up with. only bad thing is I can't save my game on this website 😂
    In addition to the other reply you can use an emulator on your computer: https://fceux.com/web/home.html. Source: over 2 years ago
  • An attempt to clear the air because I feel like people have grossly misunderstood me
    When it comes down to it I do think the emulation scene is mostly about games, and the Apple II was not a very good game machine due to its barely adequate sound and weird color. Have you used FCEUX? Now there's a serious reverse engineering emulator effort, and it's no accident that it's for the NES. Source: over 2 years ago
  • How do I play my NES on my laptop?
    They probably meant: https://fceux.com/web/home.html. Source: over 2 years ago
