Emulator & ROMs (emulation)

If you didn’t finish a game in PS 1 or in another console or if you are nostalgic for the old games & consoles (Atari, super Nintendo…) there is another opportunity for you to play this games on your computer, by using ROMs & Emulators.

• Video Game Emulator

A video game console emulator is a program that allows a computer or modern console (cross-console emulation) to emulate a different video game console's behavior.
Emulators are most often used to play older video games on personal computers and modern video game consoles, but they are also used to play games translated into other languages or modify (or hack) existing video games. Emulators are also a useful tool in the development process of homebrewed demos and new video games for older systems.

• ROM images (ROMs)

A ROM image, or simply ROMs, is a computer file which contains a copy of the data from a read-only memory chip, often from a video game cartridge, a computer's firmware, or from an arcade video game's main board. The term is frequently used in the context of emulation, whereby older video games or computer firmware are copied to ROM files on modern computers and can, using Emulator, be run on the newer computer. ROM images are also used when developing for embedded computers. Software which is being developed for embedded computers is often written to ROM files for testing on a standard computer before it is written to a ROM chip for use in the embedded system.
