Your Favorite Emulators on PC

[Ventus]

I'm sure that a few of us emulate games on our Computers I know I emulate a lot of consoles I have my favorite one that I prefer to use over all other ones.

Nestopia - For all my NES emulation needs. I used to use FCEUX but for some reason or another I stopped using it... For the life of me I can't remember why I stopped using it.

ZSNES - This is literately one of the best Snes emulators I've found so many config options to mess with and use, like my favorite thing I've done with it is assign 4 save states slots to my right analog stick and I made the R3 click be Load a state and I made the L3 click be save a state. So when I'm playing I can save at anytime I want without having to let go my controller.

Kega Fusion - Damn fine Sega genesis emulator I used to use Gens+ but I finally stopped when
when I seen this emu in action through one of The Satellite' videos (I think he was doing playtrhough of levels from some Classic Sonic games.)

Project 64 - About the best 64 Emu I've used fast and smooth!

ePSXe - I had a choice between this and PCSX for playstation emulation on my computer and I went with ePSXe becuase it run the best on my old system

Visual Boy Advance M - GBA emulation at its best for me.

DeSmuME (DS) - I've been using this to emulate some DS games since version 0.9.9 (its now at 0.9.10) Its the fastest DS emu out there besides No$GBA.

DeSmuME X432R (Allows high textures in DS games) - I just found this not long ago and damn DS games look fine as hell with nice highres textures!

PPSSPP - The only PSP emulator that I like it runs super fast and has nice upscaling options and all that nice stuff.

-
I can't say much about PS2 Emulators or Wii/GameCube emulators as I can't run them very good, I guess my dual core can't handle those games, But for all the others its fine.
I lot of the times I'll rip my own games like for PS and PSP but I will download the Roms for the games I own legally.

So what are your favorite Emulators on Computer?

I use ZSNES for all my snes emulation needs. As for NES, I used to use an emulator called Nesticle. Eventually it disappeared and I switched to FCEU. I use VisualBoyAdvance for GBA games, and DeSmuME for the few DS games I play on it.

I mainly stick to ZSNES. I've been using that one since high school. I used to use Nesticle as well, but now I use the ZCUE one, whatever it's called. I honestly don't emulate too much, because I tend to blow money on old games, but they're nice to have for those harder to find games.

FCEUX for NES. Seems to function perfectly if a little hard on my weak PC. Nothing very bad just a little hiccup here and there at higher resolutions.

For SNES I used to use ZSNES. It never let me down but I just cannot stand the UI. I have since been using SNES9x. It seems to be absolutely perfect.

I still have VBA for all things Game Boy but I hardly use it anymore. It isn't perfect but I never found anything better(years ago).

Recently started using ppsspp for psp emulation. The games I can get away with playing on my PC run reasonably well. I got most of the way through Maverick Hunter X before I lost interest in playing on a keyboard(still can't get my PS2 controller working on USB again).

I don't use a PSX emulator anymore but I did use ePSXe consistently. I hear there are better options now.

That's probably about it. Atleast for emulators I have used in the last couple years. I hardly play any emulated games anymore. Maybe if I get a controller up and running again.

NES - FCEUX for playing, Nestopia for recording. I also use Nesticle for hacking. It's still the only emulator that lets you edit graphics on the fly.

SNES - ZSNES. Been using it since it first came out, and it hasn't done me wrong yet.

GB/GBA - Visual Boy Advance. I've used more Gameboy emulators than probably any other system, but this one's the best.

N64 - Project64. I've used this since the beginning too, no problems at all.

PS1 - ePSXe. Same.

Genesis/Master System - Fusion. This beats the crap out of Gens.

Gamecube - Dolphin. It's easier than finding a real Gamecube around here.

DS - DeSmuME. I'm not a big DS guy, really. Stylus controls aren't my thing.

PSP - PPSSPP. I wanted to play Dracula X Chronicles. It did the job.


Probably 90% of the games I emulate are older than the N64.

NES - Nestopia
SNES - Various Emulators, depending on the game.
GBA - VBA
PS1- ePSXe
N64 - PJ64 Version 1.6
DS- DeSmuME

[Tim]

Just a few in the list already, but anyway...

NES - FCEUX
SNES - ZSNES
N64 -PJ64
PSX - ePSXe or psX
GB/GBA - VBA



My usual suspects.

higan for NES/SNES/GB. mednafen's better for GBA for the time being. Kega Fusion for Sega systems. I'll use FCEUX if I want Lua, and ZSNES is good for ripping graphics from screenshots. That's about it. Never really bothered emulating newer systems much.

[King Aquamentus]

I really don't use emulators that *much*, but I do like ZSNES.

[Aliem]

I use higan for NES, SNES, gameboy, and gameboy color.
VisualBoyAdvance M for Gameboy Advance
Project64 for Nintendo 64
ePSXe for PS1
PCSX2 for PS2
and Dolphin for Gamecube. It also runs Wii, but I have never used it for a Wii game.
