I know a little about emulators and roms. My older brothers play with them all the time! They will be on the computer for hours just playing roms.

I have all kinds of roms. I've deleted lots of my emulators, but I've had them for NES, SNES, GB Advance, N64, NEOGEO, Playstation, and MAME.

I still have a lot of the SNES roms. :)

How many emulators did you have? I only have 1 NES emulator. I only have NES roms. What does MAME stand for? I haven't been able to find a good emulator for any other platforms (N64, Playstation, etc). Do you remember where you got yours?

Emulators are programs that emulate gaming systems and allow you to play on your computer.

Roms are the game files.

I would post a link, but since roms are kind of a touchy subject, like mp3's and downloading movies from bit torrent, I wouldn't want to get the board in trouble.

Sure I'll tell you. An emulator is a downloadable game system. You can download NES, SNES, Playstation, Gameboy Advance and others. Roms are like the games that go with the emulator. Mario Brothers 3, Pac-Man, Megaman 5, Nintendo World, Cup are just a few of the many NES roms you can play. If you would like an emulator and rom yourself just ask. I'll try and find one for you. :D

Oooh! I have Super Mario Bros 1,2,3 and Super Mario World roms and my son likes to grab the controller and try to play although he doesn't really get what he's supposed to be doing. :D I love the Mario Bros games.

I like RPG's too.
