Aqua-Soft ForumsWhat Emulators Are There? I know theres a GBA one and a SNES one... is there a Dreamcast One? If so how do they get the ROMS to work? Can you play REAL DCAST Games on ur PC? Can You download any rom for emulator?
Emulators?
There is no way to emulate dreamcast on your pc. Dont download emulators for systems like ps2, gc, they are most likely to fool people and are infected with a virus.
The only emulators Im aware of are:
NES
GB
SNES
N64
GBA
Sega Master System
Game gear
Sega Genesis
Playstation
Some arcade, and other weird consoles, but those are the commons.
So there is NO emulator for PS on PC? COz there's one on Mac..

You men playstation right? there is for pc, and I mentioned.
my bad.. I over-read it. >.
Yeah, the only emulator I use is the Playstation one. Because it can read right from Playstation games, so I dont have to steal ROMs, and I have a huge ps1 collection. I like to be legit. :canadian:
Those inexistent emulators are gor DC, PS2, and GC, and Xbox too, I think there are no emulators for 128bit consoles... they just contain virus or there is no way to get the "images" they ask for.
You mean, Connectix Virtual Game Station? If so, its the best Playstation Emulator yet! But its only for Windows 98 and Pentium II processorts I think. There is a patch for XP and P4 processors but the acting of keyboard is slow. I already tried it.

I had always thought that bleem was best that connectix virtual game station, it has better graphics, the only bad thing was tha it was unable to play most games and CVG played almost everyone. I heard they were bought by sony, the product.

umm.. I have it on my mac too 
where can i download ps and sega geneis roms and an emulator with a site with no pRon...? and so theres no way a pc can read dcast games? 
...
There are no PS roms, they are isos, you need to get a image of the disc to play.
There is NO way to play DC games on your pc, you can read a part, but you wont be able to read them, cause they are GD ROMS, they are 1gb and are in a different way than a CD so your computer can read the part of the GD rom, but it can read a small part of CD rom it has, which contains some images sometimes. The DC disc has 2 parts.
I wont tell where to download roms because thats actually illegal, try searching at search engines like google.
Yeah, dont ask about ROMs, that illegal. Emulators are alright though.
I dont use that game station thing, never heard of it. I forget what the emulator I use is called, but it took a while to get working. It needs a special BIOS, and some other crap.
It runs fine in XP and on my P4 though. It looks great too, better than my old TV and PS1.
You guys know of a Linux PS1 emulator?
I just know about EPSXE it has a version for windows and linux, but it is not that easy to configure, you need a ps bios and the graphic, sound, controller, and cd plugins to work on your computer, I think they provide some.
You can configure this emulator very nice according to your computer and needs, thats why it is considered to be one of the best ps emulators out there.
Perhpas it is worth to try it
if you are interested in dreamcast emulation, go here:
if you own a dreamcast, it has a lot of emulators so you can emulated snes nes etc on your dc,
and it has some links to sites where they are developing dc emulators for the computer
last i checked, there wasn't a fully working one... but that was a couple months ago
have fun
thnx guys! also 1 more thing.. is there a way i can burn my roms and or emulators on a disk, then play them from my xbox? 
i'm not sure about xbox, but for dc, there are different emulators that you can burn on a disk that will run on dreamcast...
dc runs off of windows ce, im not sure what xbox runs off of
if you burn a rom on a disc and try to play it on X BOX it might not work. I now that you need to get a modchip for PS2 to run burned games and i assume that its the same for x box and gamecube
for dreamcast, all you needed was a utopia boot disk (illegal...)
the DC was the best to run backups, no need for chips and all that. The Utopia boot disk was just a requirement for the first games, then they booted alone.
ok.. one more thing i got a ePSXe emulator... but it dint come with any roms? where to i get em?
It seems you didnt understood what I said.
First. They are not roms, they are ISO's ok? Rom is a extraction of the cartridge and ISO is a extraction from the CD.
2nd. Im not telling where to get ISO's, cause it is illegal. You can play with EPSXE if you have a psx game disc.
3rd. This ISOS are between 400 and 600mb, so they cont come in a 300kb zip.
So if you want to play I recommend you getting some PSX games from a friend and play them on EPSXE, or buy some PSX games.
Yeah, ePSXe, thats what I use. Its kick-ass. Look around all of the settings, if you tweak it right, you can get the games looking like PS2 games. :own:
Buy some PSX games. They're only like $5 now.
There are many playstation emulators that run in windows and some of them need a certain rom to run. EPSXE does need the rom which is actually the BIOS for the playstation. What you need is the SCPH1001 because that is the most compatible version. EPSXE is probably the best playstation emulator available because of its speed, resolution and wide variety of plug-ins.
There are also several emulators for the Nintendo series starting from the NES all the way to the Nintendo 64. As of this time, there are no GameCube emulators yet.
There are many emulators for different Sega consoles (Sega Master System, GameGear, Genesis, Saturn )including a couple of Dreamcast emulators in the works but which are still in alpha stage. Meaning they may show the initial screens and then hang before it gets into the game or within the beginning of the game.
There is also an XBox emulator that may have potential but it is very very alpha. And then there are also a couple of PlayStation 2 emulators, one of which can actually play Mortal Kombat 5 and Blade 2.
And if you are into Arcade gaming, the most complete one is the emulator called M.A.M.E. (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) which successfully emulates hundreds of Arcade games.
