I think one emulator's name is Mame or Mame32. I used to play a while back. It was pretty fun getting into those old games again. I missed using those old directional pad controllers with just the A/B buttons on 'em.

I went out and actually bought Super Mario 3 from my nintendo DS....I love that thing....


I used to run emulators for everything on this laptop but I never bought a controller and using the keyboard was a pita.

For those that havent played around with emulators you can pretty much find everything you need at http://www.romnation.net

they even have a commodore 64 emulator heheh

Donkey Kong Country for SNES is the best! My favorite game of all time.
