   Complete roms collection with fast bandwith

   You just have to register and get full access to an exhaustive list of roms. They post a report of antivirus scan, never see that before. Only the emulators are missing.

   👍 Pros:    Full of roms|Security disclaimer and report

   👎 Cons:    Need to create an account|No emulators|Anyone can upload

• 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

• Help!

  I do not believe Xenia requires a BIOS, haven't messed with it in years, it was pretty terrible the last time I tried it. Short of buying a faster internet connection no. You might find the games you're looking for on theromdepot it's usually much faster than Internet Archive, but they don't have everything (requires you to make a free acc). Source: over 1 year ago

• Retro emulator console

  There's a ton of them, some easier to access than others. https://theromdepot.com/ is fast and has complete sets for NES SNES and Genesis, and allows ftp access for batch downloads, it does requires a free account though. https://vimm.net/ is slower, dosen't allow ftp access, but they have a large archive, and don't require an account. https://archive.org/ has most everything but it's a chore to sort through...

• Picked this up at a local game store today for $24 CAN. After playing PoOT I'm kinda hooked on them, gonna order FoMT off of Amazon soon

  After you have your emulator of choice installed you have to download the rom for the game you want to play. My go to site for that the last few years has been the rom depot. Source: over 2 years ago
