   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

• 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

• When will there be emulation support of Xbox Live Indie Games ?

  Latest commit to the master branch on Wed May 31 2023. So yes it is still actively being worked on. Source: 11 months ago

• Marcus Fenix Collection CONCEPT 👈

  Yeah, that's true. I think it's 1440p 60fps on the series s, but with 2 pc set ups that still feels like a waste. Maybe look into Xenia. it's an Xbox 360 emulator and in pretty sure it allows upscaling and local multiplayer. With 2 decent pc's you might be able to get something going. Source: 12 months ago

• Any actually useful uses for Raspberry Pi and alternative sbc?

  Also I just run retro gaming on my windows pc since I'm always on it. I use SNES, Gameboy, PS1, PS2, PS3, XBox, and XBox 360. If sure it's not efficient to run them all separately but it works for me. Source: about 1 year ago

• Gears of war 2-3 on pc, coop?

  Xeniaon pc can play them fine if you have a decent gaming pc. Source: about 1 year ago

• How Exactly Do You Play Downloaded XBLA Roms?

  In order to emulate titles, you need to extract the package contents to a folder and run the XEX directly with the emulator. The only Xbox 360 emulator I know of is Xenia. Source: about 1 year ago
