Default old console emulators

OK own up then, who's got some of the old console emulators on their PC?

So far I've managed to fine the Sega Mega Drive emulator, SNES, Spectrum and Game Boy Advance

I even went out and bought a cheap control pad yesterday so I can play them all properly

Best one at the mo has got to be either Mario World or Mario Kart

I beleive its only MAME that is supporting that, not home console emulators.
There MAY be some that do tho, never looked into it....

wes, zsnes supports internet play of snes games, but its very slow/laggy

i got zsnes on the computer at the moment... completed mario 1, 3, and world (dont like mario2, and cant do lost levels as the PC dont have sound and it makes it impossible to get past some castles without ) now i'm playing zelda3 which is ACE, only got 1 more dungeon to go too!

used to have LOADS... megadrive, gameboy, mame, amiga, c64, n64 and many more... but got a bit bored after a while

BRILLIANT game...
