There are a few devices which you can plug your classic controllers into to use on a computer. I've had bad experiences with some, but others worked out great. "Buyer Beware."I don't like to use emulators unless i'm recording a video or have lost a game. I personally just like to play the original console since it feels like your actually playing the game. Another thing about emulators is that you have to either use a keyboard or use a controller not from the original console which I don't really like to use.
... or I'm playing a "hacked" game. (I hate that that's the word for it. "Hacked" makes it sound dangerous, when really it's a game patched with some custom content or textures. Totally benign if you know where to look.)
I guess 'fan-games' would be appropriate, right?...
Patch can mean all kinds of things, lol.Actually, "Fan-game" would imply that it was created by a fan or crew of fans. I think the word could be "customized" "edited" or more simply... "patched."
Makes it sound evil that way. -.- At times all it is is a hex-digit or two changed, a texture replaced, or a routine changed. Edited is a fine euphemism. (Oh, you should totes see the editing tools submitted on the web There's an F-Zero X Track designer, and it's awesome if not a little janky.)Patch can mean all kinds of things, lol.
Romhack, or just hack are the more appropriate terms.

But back to the point of the matter, I use an emulator or two when I'm traveling, or I'm playing a "hacked" game. (I hate that that's the word for it. "Hacked" makes it sound dangerous, when really it's a game patched with some custom content or textures. Totally benign if you know where to look.)
Can you tell me if I can use a drawing tablet for a DS emulator? There are NSMB hacks I wanna get into, among other hacks.I used to love emulators, since it allowed me to play games or consoles which where either rare or just too expensive for me. So I spent quite a bit of time playing GBA and rare/expensive DS/Wii games. The great thing is that with the Wii emulator I had, it allowed me to connect up a Wii remote to the computer ^.^
I also played on quite a few PS1/2 games since I'll probably never be allowed to buy those consoles unfortunately..

...or pay for the service Nintendo offers, then keep emulating when it's better?In my opinion; Emulators should only ever be used as a last resort. I once heavily used emulators and because of that I found Nintendo's Virtual Console service to be a waste of my time. Why pay Nintendo for stuff I can download for free?
I have since broken free from that disgusting practice of mine where I would emulate any game I wanted. I think that people should never use emulators unless it's for a game that is not available on any current Nintendo system by any means or is not in a language you understand. For example; I emulate Mother 3, Captain Rainbow, and the Japanese-only Chibi-Robo!! game. This is because; 1. none are available on current Nintendo hardware in ANY language, 2. None have ever been released anywhere but Japan, 3. Finding an original Japanese copy would be hard and expensive.
Tldr - Emulating is bad
