Nintendo emulator on Playstation

[KAZ]

This is one of the fun goals I'm working towards. This stuff is fairly complicated.

 

First off, does anyone have a "plugmodchip"...and how well does it work?

 

I want to play a Nintendo emulator on my Playstation, has anyone done this successfully?

 

If you have, can you walk me through step by step, how to make a cd.

 

I downloaded an emulator (It might be NES), and tried to burn the data to a disk. I then tried to run it on my Playstation Emulator, but it didn't work. It didn't come with a readme, and so it doesn't explain how to even make the cd...

 

It has executable type files in it like:

 

buildcd

makeisoUSA

nes.cue

nes

psx

rombank

stripiso

and this file that says: System

 

I have no idea how to make a cd. I clicked on rombank and added

some roms, and made some sort of output.

 

I'm just confused, and don't know where to look for help in doing this.

 

It would be crazy fun to play Mike Tyson's Punchout with a Playstation controller. Having one disk with all the nes games is pretty neat too.

Don't bother. It sucks.

 

Get a Dreamcast and play them using NesterDC. Less hassle. Better emulation. Matter of fact... as of ver 7.0 I'd say it's virtually flawless. (you'd swear you had an NES plugged in to your tv)

Thanks for the info. I don't got a Dreamcast...but I was wondering if you have to have some sort of special boot disk, and modded Dreamcast and all that garbage...

 

Or does Dreamcast just allow cd-r's, and doesn't have the boot protection?

To play imports you have to have a boot disc and this was the standard for most cd-r's and emulators about 2 years ago. But now the vast majority of all emulators are called self-booting and the dreamcast runs them w/o a boot disk, straight from your burned cdr.

 

If you like emulation and a great library of games, you can't miss with the Dreamcast.

No. As long as you don't buy a dreamcast made after a certain date (actually at the tail end of it's production run). Because if you do, you're SOL. Check www.dcemulation.com for details.

Yes

The info about the non working DCs for emulation on dcemulation.com is wrong. I had one of the ones they say doesn't work but it will if you burn the CDR with Nero. Those just won't work with DiscJuggler burns. I don't know why DJ can't do it, but when I switched to Nero, it was all good. I would be careful about using your DC for this stuff though. CDRs make the drive work much harder then real GD-roms. I think it might eventually burn out the drive.

i agree, you should hear my dreamcast struggling to read a burned disk. it dosn't sound healthy, however dreamcasts are fairly cheap these days so i don't worry too much and have as much fun with it as possible.

As far as I knew, the non-CDR Dreamcasts were pretty rare anyways (In fact, I read somewhere that none of them even made it to North America, although I have my doubts about that), so I wouldn't worry too much about finding one.
