I had heard about it online somewhere and was kind of interested, but never really did anything about it until my roommate got me into it. Now we just sit around and play games and don't talk for hours even if we're in the same room bahahaha. By the way, does anyone know if there are any good NDS emulators? I heard they are all kinda iffy, but I wonder if they're any better yet. Info, sites, whatever would be appreciated.Hah I also forgot to mention I have no money, I'm a brokeass college student. So I get to play all the games I wanted to but couldn't afford or couldn't find.

I saw some people I knew playing advance wars during school, and was VERY confused, as I thought that was a GBA game. After they told me how to do it I got pretty into it and found this site

My friend lent me a disc of emulators, and now I download and try out games before buying them. Some games are just not good enough, so it kind of saves money.

I think I actually just stumbled on it one day while on the net. I always saw this kid playing NES games on his laptop on the bus to school, but never asked him about it and didn't realize what it was til I found an emulator online. The first game I downloaded was Mario though cuz I loved that game when I was a kid.

I've have a PC, then I'd start looking for some old game I'd played before in SNES. After that, I found emulation applications.

I was wondering how my friend was playing Chrono Trigger on his comp and he told me how. I then wanted to play the game myself, so I looked up emulation and it started from there. I mostly use it to play games that I missed out on or forgot to buy.
