"Your Views of EMULATION (Good,bad or not the same)"

Emulation occurs in almost every console. What are your views on the matter. I personally don't like it because of it's experience and the hassel. I feel it is just not the same as true gaming and it is pointless with the new systems

I enjoyed playing the sonic series and street fighter

I agree with Rav.

Emulating old systems = good.

Emulating current systems = bad.

I have emulators for the SMS, NES, and I recently downloaded a Megadrive emulator, so that I could tackle PS2. Been playing Road Rash over the weekend though!

anymore views

yeah pokemon, I beat Dave Mccomb!!!
The Scottish Fool!

I don't like people emulating the pokemon series (just setting the record straight i don't like pokemon0

I personally hate emulating games but then again I personally hate BILL GATES. MAC RULE!

gameboy... hmmmmmm. Toughy there. Personally I think it depends on how old the game is, and whether u have the original... it's a good question though

Rav

Anyone got anymore views on emulation in any form

I very much agree with you rav. I very much enjoy going back playing super classic games like mario and sonic. I don't like playing new ones though. Firstly it takes too long, secondly it is not as good and thirdly my pc is not fast enough. What are yure opnions on emulation on the gameboy

Emulation comes in 2 forms...
Firstly emulating old stuff- like spectrums. This is good. You are simply revisiting an era of golden gaming that has gone. No one is losing money and you are having fun.

Secondly, there are new emulators for N64, PSX etc. This is piracy, beacause (unless u have the game, in which point there is no point emulating) you are ripping off companies by downloading games from the web. Also, there are sooo many problems getting the latest console games to run on a PC- just buy the game!

Anyway, there are my thoughts for the day. Anyone else got anything interesting to say on the matter?
