Isn't emulation illegal?

No; pirating currently selling high-tech un-obsolete video game systems and games is illegal. Sharing the wealth of unused classics is hardly illegal. The ESA has contacted us before, and we are prepared to take as many steps as necessary to deal and comply with their requests.


Rom information

tag : rom, info,information

I downloaded a ROM and it doesn't work. What now?
We don't dump the ROMs, we just post them. Try learning what the GoodCodes mean, then make sure you didn't download a bad dump. If you're absolutely sure of this, and you know it's not a ROM with a known issue (Star Ocean, Top Gear 3000), please post your problem on the forums.


Why don't you have this game/system up?
Depends. We do NOT carry newer systems such as Game Boy Advance, Playstation, or Nintendo DS. Stop asking for them to be posted.

Other systems aren't posted simply because we don't have them, or we don't have the complete set. If you have anything you'd like to contribute with, we have an FTP you can upload to. Contact us for more info.


How do I use savestates?
This question is most often asked regarding ZSNES, so I'm going to answer it with that emulator in mind. The principle is the same for other emulators, just not the same file extensions.

First, make sure the save state file and the ROM name are exactly the same, i.e. if the game is streetfighter2.smc, the save state HAS to be named streetfighter2.zs0 (or .zs1, .zs2, etc.) Also make sure the save is in the ZSNES directory. Once you make sure that's all ok, load up ZSNES and go to "Load State" under the File menu. This will load the .zs0 state. If you want to change which one you're loading (i.e., more than one save state) go to "Pick State", which is also in the file menu. Then you can choose from 0-9 (which correspond with .zs0 through .zs9) and enjoy your game. Or try ;)


Plz can you send me this ROM thx!!
I don't think people will ever understand that big emulation sites DON'T send games to your inbox. You're already getting something for nothing, just be happy with it.


I'm stuck in this game. Can you help me out?
