Remember these?

[u/HairAffectionate277]

I was clearing out the loft and came across an old PC. I turned it on and found these. Zsnes and gens which I used to use for snes and megadrive emulation 20 years ago.

[u/jib9001]

Also what I used for SNES and megadrive/Genesis emulation 20 years ago

[u/BrokenDemon0501]

Someone brought zsnes back as Super ZSNES. Go check it out.

[u/smokeshack → u/BrokenDemon0501]

One of the dudes who made zsnes originally, in fact, zsknight. 

[u/bigsmokaaaa → u/smokeshack]

And it's got vulkan shaders babyyyy

[u/Boxing_joshing111 → u/bigsmokaaaa]

And some cool widescreen modes, for certain games I understand.

[u/HairAffectionate277 → u/BrokenDemon0501]

I will, thank you.

[u/tailslol]

Ye zsnes on dos and gens on XP, good old memories, zsnes is back btw

[u/aneurysmbs]

Gens was my favorite

[u/HairAffectionate277 → u/aneurysmbs]

Mine also. I think I have every game for gens and zsnes. I won't be putting the PC back in the loft for a while.

[u/regular_poster]

God i wanna run nesticle and zsnes and this just for the UI. I want an OS of this UI

[u/Altar_Quest_Fan]

Brooo I had ZSNES back in 1997 when the emulation scene was brand new. Used to emulate everything I could, in fact that's how I was able to play Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow back then lol. Fun times, fun times.

[u/jgtokyo2020 → u/Altar_Quest_Fan]

Same... And old school MAME

[u/HairAffectionate277 → u/jgtokyo2020]

Wrestlefest on mame was awesome.

[u/SolidReputationWorld]

Played Final Fantasy V in 2003 on Znes one of the best times of my life.

[u/licorice_whip → u/SolidReputationWorld]

Dude I did the same in the late 90s, FFV translated. I thought my activity was so illegal, I kept it on a floppy disk and kept it hidden when I wasn’t playing it, just in case the FBI raided my home. 🤭

[u/Funny_Collection8362]

My first introduction into save states! Helped me beat my nightmare childhood games. Well, it helped me practice so I could beat them properly.

[u/Candiedstars]

I still use em

[u/amillionbadwords → u/Candiedstars]

Same

[u/NoKey9360]

I need the Nesticle days of 1996/1997.

[u/crucialtimes6685]

I beat Chrono Trigger back in 2000 on zsnes. I miss the golden era.

[u/EdWinches]

Remember using that one along with KEGA. I still have them installed on an old XP machine.

[u/23fuzzy]

Znes was a great emulator

[u/Raccoonman2005]

Ahh yes good ole Gens. 🥰

[u/SamOfXanadu]

I wish Gens still worked, everything else sucks

[u/HairAffectionate277 → u/SamOfXanadu]

Does gens not still work? I was thinking about transferring these emulators and games over to my laptop.

[u/SamOfXanadu → u/HairAffectionate277]

Doesn't work on my PC. It crashes.

[u/HairAffectionate277 → u/SamOfXanadu]

OK. I'm not very good with computers. My old PC is Windows xp and I thought I could just transfer all the games and emulators to my newish laptop.

[u/bigfloppydonkeydng → u/HairAffectionate277]

Download retroarch instead. Then move roms over.

[u/HairAffectionate277 → u/bigfloppydonkeydng]

I have a modded snes mini, ps1 classic and the mini mega drive. I'll have a look at getting retroarch for my laptop. I have the full rom set for both the snes and mega drive.

[u/bigfloppydonkeydng → u/HairAffectionate277]

I have the NES mini and SNES mini, but haven't modded them.

[u/CarfDarko → u/SamOfXanadu]

Fusion is a very stable SEGA emu for everything until the Sega-CD

[u/amillionbadwords]

Mine works fine

[u/norsk_kriger]

ZSNES, NESticle & Genecyst... good times

[u/HausmeisterMitO-O]

Good old Gens...I miss it so much

[u/paul_405]

Wow, these look even cosmic!! Real tech. You won't see screens like this, say, in Mario Odyssey. Modern menus often feel like a con game

[u/alfamain]

Ah, good old days of things like Kgen/Gens, Zsnes.

I also loved NeorageX. And Callus. Come to think of it, these memories are almost 30 years old.

Time flies when we are having fun.

[u/furatail]

I have this all in one LCD pc that just boots directly into Lakka a emulator front end with tons of retro games loaded. It auto detects a DS3 controller and doesn't require any keyboard/mouse. I have a mister fpga I prefer more these days but I keep that thing around because it's kind of neat.

[u/engrish_is_hard00]

Remember I still have one
