I used to have a ton of these back in the day, but for some reason I deleted them all on my old system, and haven't touched them in about 10 years.

What's a good site for these things nowadays? Also, do you recommend any good controllers? I think the last time I used a ROM was 1997 back during my days at Eastern Michigan.

I believe the XBOX 360 controllers are compatible with PC's and you don't need any kind of adapter for them.

No kidding. I may have to go pick one up. What kind of outlet do they use? Is it USB? Mucho gracias.

Any good sites to start with?

I believe the controllers are USB. Although, I haven't looked for ROMS in awhile.

Right on. Thanks for the tip. I used to use this janky assed $9 controller that was a big piece of shit. I'll check it out.

Actually, I guess the 360 controller is merely "okay" for the PC. I would probably go with a Logitech for less money at that point.

Zophar's Domain is pretty much the center of the Rom world. Its a news site for Roms. It'll get you where ever you need to go. www.zophar.net

Bad ass.

Thanks fellas. I've now got a reason to spend my $25 Comp USA Gift Card that has been collecting dust since Christmas.

Can someone post some step by step instructions on how to download an emulator and get games for it? I'd love to have an NES and an SNES emulator on my PC. Please hook a brotha up. Thanks.
