LOL @ Cyberman
My first console was called something like the CBS... no idea what the manufacturer is... it was a massive thing and I remember a space invaders type game and the irreplaceable Mr Do... I'd love to see an emulation of that. Or Sid Meier's Colonization on the Amiga 500/1200... there's a PC version of that game but the Amiga version had much better graphics and music. Never had a Commodore 64 (but still, strangely, feel a lot of nostalgia about it) but had a ZX Spectrum. All that before getting into consoles proper with the Mega Drive (and Master System Converter), Mega CD, SNES (not NES though), Game Gear (but not Game Boy), N64 and then finally a Nintendo DS. Since then just PC.
I've never really understood emulation that much... I've got one for spectrum games... and DOSBox if that counts... and was given one for the Mega Drive... but never really understood how it works with ROMs? Do you have to own the cartridge in order to get them, is that the deal... is that why you've got a collection of them? Because there's no way you could actually physically transfer the game from a cartridge to a presumably PC based emulator? So it's just a matter of essentially DRM? Fair enough if that's the case, because I'm very strict like that meself with music and stuff (ie if I sell a CD I delete all ripped mp3's on all devices before I do), but just curious really how that can be the case if all these consoles being emulated are obsolete and no longer supported by their manufacturers (presumably).
