I wanna get a low end emulator for my younger sis. All I nwwd is up to GBA, enough for some pokemon and Mario games, maybe Kirby too.

I'm fine with pre loaded ROMs and those shitty "(insert number) in one" type devices

Budget is as cheap as possible.

What can I get?

The most notable changes in this version are:

  1. Support for "Sharp" video filter (better nearest interpolation at non-integer scales)

  2. MP2K HLE audio sounds even better now thanks to improved envelopes and reverb

3.Debug viewers for graphics (palettes, tiles, backgrounds, sprites) implemented

4.Improved game controller support and fixed an input dropping bug/regression

Important Info: The developer of NanoBoyAdvance will step down after the next Major release. He is searching for new Developers. For more Infos, visit this Reddit Thread

So, I have a leapster explorer running retroleap and I have a few issues

First and most glaring is that I cannot save. I can't use in game saves and my system doesn't have save states.

Also when playing a big volume bar will fill up my screen and it won't go away. Anyone seen this before? I can provide photos if needed

I know this dumb lol

While I did manage to rip the game (I realized it was damaged after I pulled it out), it's no longer safe to use and its life is now limited.

Hypotheticly if instead of searching for my old ps 2 discs i downloaded a rom could the emulated games infect my computer once ran? this question isn't ps2 specific.

Hello together,

for the last 2 years i worked on a passion project of mine: emuze

My main goal for emuze is to have a emulation launcher that is as fast and simple as possible. With this you don't have to configure every emulator and fine tune metadata of your roms. If your roms are named correctly, a click on the import button should import your emulators and roms altogether and therefore no configuration is necessary.

If you are curious please try it out and let me know what you think: https://github.com/bmsuseluda/emuze

I know that there are a lot of apps these days that are similar to emuze, but opinions and preferences can be so vastly different, that no launcher before clicked with me.

Ideally at or below the PSP/N64 threshold so I can play it on my RG405M.

All I can really think of are ROM hacks for Super Mario Bros.

The article is a month old and covers the unofficial PC port of Perfect Dark allowing for things like mouse and keyboard, widescreen, and 60 FPS support.

Hackaday also has an article on this which can be found here.

The GitHub page can be found here and if you find this interesting you might also want to check out the mouse injector for GoldenEye 007 .

Hey everyone,

I love building emulators, especially of older systems. The Fairchild Channel F was the first console to include a removable ROM. The function of reading from memory was handled by the PSU (Program Storage Unit) rather than the CPU, which made it unique among chipsets.

My emulator runs entirely online. No downloading required. It should work on all modern browsers, both on desktop and mobile. On desktop you can use the numpad keyboard, and mouse. Note that only the right joystick works. Not the left.

My emulator does not contain ROMs in it, but it will open any ROM you pass in as a link. Below is a demonstration of all of the videocarts:

Original title screen for Sinistar, now re-inserted into the game during the reverse-engineering project.

This is an article by SynaMax about reverse-engineering the arcade classic Sinistar. Sinistar is one of the most technically-impressive arcade games of the 1980's, and one of the first to use voice sampling. Using MAME and 6809 assembler tools, he took the entire game apart, and put it all back together better than ever. He even discovered the origins of the famous 'Sinistar roar' sound effect.

He was also able to restore the original title screen from the game (see picture), found in the 1982 prototype.
