A Beginners Guide to the World Emulation.

Before you Criticize and say this is illegal, it is only illegal if you market the games.

Emulation is better explained through wikipedia although you will find a small summary to this awesome new world. Emulation is basically being able to play games of all platforms on your computer, yes whatever system you want, yes whatever game you want. If you choose you can even make a customized version of your game using rom hacking tools such as Advanced text editors, and so on.

Warning: Do not abuse emulators, before you download make sure the site you use is safe and approved. And make sure your computer can handle the emulator and rom itself, especially when you use very powerfull ones like the X-Box 360 and Wii. I have listed the two sites i use as i know they are safe.

Emulators:
http://www.emulator-zone.com/

Roms:

Step 1 Getting your awesome emulator set up.

First head to Emulator-Zone and download your emulator for an example I choose the VBA  Here we go.

1.Head to the Emulator-Zone.com

2.In the left hand corner choose your game system. Note: when choosing game boy click gameboy advance and not virtual boy.

3.Pick the choice of system and hit Download Now.(try to choose the one that best fits your computers graphics card and memory).

4.I prefer to save mine in a folder marked Emulators.

i already knew about emulation but is there a way to make a flash emulator and turn online games into roms. or in other words download games besides using flash offliner

Emulation and ROM posession/ usage is legal as long as you own the actual game itself, thereby making the ROM simply a backup. Otherwise, it is arguably piracy, regardless of whether or not you market the games. There's just no way to prove that you don't own the solid copy in real life, which is why the websites aren't taken down.

how do i know what my computer will be able to handle? do the sites provide recommended computer specs?

the sites should tell you, but let's put it this way my cheap acer laptop can handle the nintendo ds, and wii platforms what kind of computer do you have
EX: new model, old,...etc.
