Foe, you told me a couple of weeks or so ago, before the other forum got hacked, about some sites where I could download games, some trackers to find servers, etc. Could you please post them again? The one for PCs

Thanks, I'll look into that.
yeah, do. emulation rocks, in my opinion.
Hey Amor, you should check out MacMAME if you haven't already. And get ahold of some capcom roms, it's some of the smoothest emulation I've seen. The sound is clear and not choppy also.
GeoMAME is also really good if all you want to do is play NeoGeo games. It's a slimmed down version of MacMAME 'cause all it plays is the Neo titles. The most current version makes use of your virtual memory so the really large games can load. Before that you had to have boatloads of RAM to load anything over 20 megs.
OK, I'm new to this, but everytime I try to download something from what I find on that tracker site it says that it will be done with a pitbull acount, which is an application for mac only...
hmm?
download from the tracker site?
uhm... the way it works on a mac, you just copy the tracker number, paste it into your app (hotline or carracho) and then reload your tracker window.
then you get a list of servers.
from there, it's entirely just negotiating with server admins to get access to their files...
Oh, well if your on a pc, then you'll want to get MAME, which you can download for free, for arcade games. Nearly all emulators are free actually. snes 9x can be downloaded for the snes games too.
I downloaded a game for Armstad PC system (never heard of it) and then downloaded and emulator for it, which can see .dsk files, and then what? I have no fucking idea how these emulators work.
no idea. some emulators work differently than others.
i stick to videogame console emulation, where you use the emulator like the console, and load the roms like cartridges...
Most emulators load a particular type of file. NeoGeo Pocket uses *.ngp or*.ngc, Snes uses *.smc, VGameboy *.gb If that armstad PC emulator is suppossed to load .dsk files then uncompress that game and do File, Open in the emulator, select the .dsk file, and click ok or open. That's all there really is to it. The documentation that came with the emulator (assuming it came with docs) will tell you more...
That's what I thought, but this one is a weird emulator. I mean it says at File "Insert disk in drive A", meaning loading .dsk file, and that's that. No open, no nothing, just MS Dos like interface where I can write commands. What commands? No documentation helps.
strange indeed.
maybe it'll actually read disks, and you have to put that .dsk information onto one?
like, sort of how you can use the connectix playstation emulator to read burned copies of playstation games.
ehm...
weird.
check out this links for some help:

Fanks. Got one for windows.
It's still weird. It's the same interface, no help. I said "load" and the name of the game and it said ready and then nothing..
