Recommended Emulators

So, you're looking around the wiki, find some good games to play for the older consoles, but you don't actually have it. And you're not willing to buy a new console just to play it. So what do you do? Use the emulator. This page has the best emulators for each console, along with it's features. '''Note: Emulators aren't perfect. Depending on the game, you might get some minor glitches. None of these should be game-breaking though. Also, there are no emulators for this generation, with the exceptions of the Wii and original DS. PSP and Xbox emulation is also very rough'''

 * [[file:Dolphin_emu.jpg| 150px]]
 * Dolphin
 * Wii and Gamecube
 * Fairly good
 * PC, OSX
 * Notable for being the only emulator out there to play Wii games, which is a godsend for pirates. Aside from that, it's a very great emulator, and is updated often. Includes support for the Wiimote, so you don't have to use the mouse for it (you're on your own for a sensor bar though), and allows you to output to even 3D 1080p.

 * DOSBox
 * DOS
 * All computer OSes, numerous forks for consoles
 * Probably the most famous emulator, DOSBox emulates the old IBM PCs of the '80s and early '90s. Plays everything from Duke Nukem to The Oregon Trail. Although made for playing games, it's built around FreeDOS, a DOS clone, so other programs are supported. You can even install Windows! '''HUGE WARNING: This is a complex, dangerous emulator with a fair amount of bugs. Read the instructions, check compatability, and please, do NOT set your drive to C:\. This does have a chance of fucking up your computer if you're not careful. It's not totally sandboxed, and can do many things the Command Prompt can. BE WARNED.
