Already mastered emulation? Want to start collecting games? Want to learn some more things that emulation has to offer? Read on.

The first cool thing about emulation is translations. Since certain games were only produced in Japan and not USA, or vice versa, people have actually modified these games to be playable in a different language. So that long lost Mario 2 or Final Fantasy game can now be yours with a simple downloadable translation. Cool, I know.

Another nice feature of emulators is the ability to save your spot at unlimited points in the game. If you are tired of having to play through the whole level just to get killed by the boss again, simply save your 'state' right before you fight the boss, and you can instantly reload it and try again. People have even saved very important spots in popular games, and distributed them to the emulation community. So, if you're just plain lazy (or bored), you can go right to the level 9 bowser courtesy of some kid named Alfonso by downloading a saved state from our Saved States Section [under construction].

Want to modify your ROMs?? You can make mario into a leprechaun, luigi look gangster, or princess have big boobs with a simple sprite editor from our Utilities [under construction] section. On the utils page, we also offer GoodXXX tools for rom-collectors, along with anything else you might need to enhance your emulation experience. Check it out.
