It's sort of a mix-up. to emulate a NES or an Atari or SNES is okay, but emulating Gamecubes and Ps2's is illegal! If it's not selling anymore,then it should be legal. anyway, Emulation is better than the original system in most ways:
>No $$$!
>Comes complete with GameShark or whatever other accesories it needs
>allows Savestates at anytime
>has more functions and abilities than the system (as in: layer-by-layer viewing, Sound enhancements, rewind, fast-forwarding through boring parts, screenshots, soundtrack saving, and enhanced controls)
>You don't have to clean the CD/Cartridge
>It can't Break!
>You can get hacks for it that will help you.
>The ability to netplay, transfer save states, and more!
>and last but not least, IT LEAVES THE FAMILY TV FREE!!!! Yippppeeee!
Ok systems to emulate:
NES
GB original
SNES
VB
Sega Genises
Game Gear
and other old systems
I currently have nearly (emphasis on nearly)all the Mario-related starring-role ROMs for the NES, SNES, GB, and more!!
