Emulator and Rom stuff Hey Y'all, I'm sure that as popular as it is, most people out there know about emulators and roms. For those who don't know, here is a little info. An emulator is like a virtual game system on the computer. But it doesn't stop there. There are other types of emulators out there for other purposes, but I don't use any of them. I don't need them. And as for a rom, well, that is the game for the emulator. The rom is like the disc for a Gamecube or the cartridge for a DS. The files range in size anywhere from a couple megabytes(really small) to a couple gigabytes(really big). The emulators are generally small, though. Here is a short history of emulators and roms: Originally, emulators were just virtual systems made by companies to preserve games that they'd made so that they didn't disappear from history. Roms were the games for them, just like now, except companies would use them. And some of you might be wondering how you can get a game from something like an N64 cartridge. Inside there is rom chip, which stands for read only memory, and that has the rom file on it. Here's what you might do: you'd get a rom dumping device, open the cartridge, take out the rom chip and insert it into the rom-dumping device and copy the files to the computer. All roms for the PS3, XBOX 360 and Wii are for the system. There are no emulators made for those sytems. And for most systems, just burn the rom to a cd and put it in the console to play it. Or just get an emulator for it. For Gamecube games, get a mini-CD, for a PSX, PS2, PS3, XBOX, XBOX 360, or Wii game, just get a plain cd and burn it once the torrent gets you the file.
