Re: Emulators
(Anonymous) 2016-05-26 06:32 am (UTC)(link)NO$GMB is what I used to use for Pokémon, back on Windows 98 *laughs* Don't think it liked XP once I managed to transfer stuff from the 98 computer, though.
VisualBoyAdvance is what I use instead, now, it supports GBA too. And if you tweak a few settings you can play Pokémon Blue etc in full colour ;)
Got VBA off a kid at high school years ago, tbh. Only issue I've had with it is that the sound seems a bit choppy.
DeSmuME is the main DS emulator I've found. Works well, decent interface, runs most things (at least with the latest version; I remember issues with Gen5 Pokémon on older versions) etc.
Although NO$NDS is an alright alternative (iirc it supports having multiple copies of the game open, for things like trading Pokémon).
Project64 works pretty well for N64 games. Acquired that at high school too :P
I also have:
ePSXe for PS1
Dolphin for Gamecube
Fusion for Sega Genesis
Snes9x for SNES
VirtuaNES for NES
And, of course, DOSBox, so I can emulate the games I used to play natively *laughs*
Haven't gone out of my way to get ROMs/ISOs for years though, so I'm not familiar with which sites to visit nowadays :(
(Used to just Google for them though :P)
Imo controller/gamepad is only really necessary if you grew up playing games mostly on consoles rather than computer. As someone who's most familiar with keyboard controls, I personally don't bother with gamepads (although occasionally I wish I had one, for the sole purpose of analogue sticks).
