Hello Again!

I have just aquired an 80gig External Hard Drive Im Turning Into 1 Giant Console Emulator! Why? Because I can, and the idea of being able to switch it from my desktop to my laptop and travel and play all my favorite consoles and games rules!I have a good idea of what my Emu. setup is going to be & what consoles, but.....

I want to here from you, My Fellow Gamers, what Emu Programs You would use & what consoles You would put on there. Just a friendly question too all my fellow gamers, now lets see some interesting replys. 😁

DOSBOX (ok, this is not a console emulator 😀 )
ZSNES
WINUAE (Amiga emulator)
Some emulators for NES and ZX Spectrum (I would have to check which are the best ones at the moment for them).

These are the emulators I used, so I would put them there.

Nice Suggestions mirek ! ZSnes is a great Emu! I love it! If ya see this again check out VirtuaNes ver.92 at the link below...

http://virtuanes.s1.xrea.com:8080/vnes_dl.php (VirtuaNes Home Page)

The site's in Japanese but the Emulator is In Several languages including English!

It support US., European, Japanese games! Great quality & sound too!

I will deffinatly check into the Amiga Emulator you mentioned.
I will also look into the ZX Spectrum Emulators.

Thanks for being my 1st reply as it was much appreciated!

FreeDO (3DO emulator) - I have used it for Another World I CD

Gens (SegaCD emulator) - I have used it for Another World II: Heart of the Alien

BasiliskII (Macintosh emulator) - I have used it for Prince of Persia I and II

VisualBoyAdvance (GBA emulator) - I have used it for Donkey Kong Country

UNZ (FM-Towns emulator) - I will use it 😉 for Indiana Jones 3 CD

Pfau Zeh (Commodore VC-20 emulator) - The only computer I had before PC (I also had some Spectrum but I don't remember it - i was too young). Bongo is a nice game.

Robertmo you were reading my mind when it comes to Gens for sure!
Im just getting ready to test a copy of Night Trap that I have! Stoked!

Qbix has got the right idea with ZSnes! Hey "Qbix, if ya see this again and you find out a little more about that Console with the bunch of RPG Games let me know, I'm die hard for good RPG's!"

Man good stuff so far!

But now because of all these cool Emu's I haven't checked into these guys mentioned, I have some sleepless nights ahead! 🤣

Keep it up People!

I would be also interested in knowing what you mean... As far as RPG on consoles are concerned, I know only that there were many RPGs (mostly Japanese style, but even some PC ports) on NES and SNES. I do not know about anything else.

Could it be that Qbix is talking about the PC Engine? 😀

Atari XL > Atari800Win Plus
C64 > WinVICE
Master System > Kega Fusion
Megadrive > Kega Fusion (Gens is good, but it's getting old compared to Fusion)
MSX > BlueMSX
PC > DOSBox 😀
PC-88 > M88
PC-98 > Neko (and Anex86, T-98 Next)
PC Engine > Magic Engine (shareware, but second to none)
Spectrum > Spectaculator (shareware, ditto)
X68000 > WinX68K High Speed

Kaminari great minds think alike! deja'vu again! I was just checkin' out Fusion right as ya wrote this & man it sounds awesome! I still think as an Emu though Gens does a great job! But from what I read Fusion might be ahead, so I do think you are right there.

The reason I say deja'vu is you helped me out on this link below and I had just found part of it! Crazy! 😳 😁

Re: AUTOEXEC.VDMS & Launchpad.hlp are missing!!!! PLease Help!!!

"I still am wondering what Consloe Qbix was refering too, it sounds awesome!"

Now those are some good suggestions I'm gonna check into. Thanks!

Could indeed be the pc engine.
I found it difficult to find some screenshots but the graphics should be snes like.

It aren't rpg like betral at krondor, more epic quests with level upping like secret of mana

It turns out from what I read that ol' PC Engine over where I am is the good ol' TurboGrafix-16! 😁 Haven't seen one of those in years or any of the games for a matter of fact! Yes, that was a great system! 😀
