RockNES is the best NES emulator I've found. I don't even mess with the PS2 ones, since I only have a 550mHz PIII. :(

with those specs I wouldn't put anything over win2kpro

ill look into it and get back to you if no-one knows

i checked out the microsoft site and my computer could handle it just barely (64 mb of memory is the minimum.) so i searched it up on the ol' KL and got it. it runs really good actually. way better than my old 98SE. faster too for some reason.

for that sega emulator i'll just google it. if i find one i'll tell you guys.

thanks for the help guys

Emulators are the most common n00b stupid things (like burning dvd&#39;s and "how do i make my movies i download off kaza play on my dvd player"), emu&#39;s are nothing more than a proggy for game designers, they are used to test their games for bugs and defects on the pc, instead of consule....there are rare emu&#39;s that even play GameBoy Adv. nor NES, and besides emu&#39;ing is the hardest thing to do when ur pc is ready for antiques road show.... <_<

i know what an emulator is for. i used to make gameboy color games so don&#39;t call me a n00b.

who cares how crappy a computer is as long as it&#39;s decent enough to run. i&#39;m going out to buy more memory and a new hard drive as soon as i get the money. you really like putting people down don&#39;t you?

Stupidity aside, is puter is fine for emulating everything up to N64 (UltraHLE) and PS1....which to my knowledge is as far as you can go atm.

More RAM would help your XP out alot :blink:

UltraHLE 2064 (http://thecpy.emulation64.com/thelastresort/Ultrhle.htm#UltraHle)

just for the record, I wasn&#39;t trying to put you down, but I really think you would benefit form a downgrade to 2kpro, it would run so much better with your processor and current ram, and even better with more ram, doubt you will even notic a ram Upgrade with your current OS, cause it will suck it up and give you more swap space on your HD
