Introduction Realizing that a lot of pretty solid gamers hadn't played what I consider some quite classic games, I thought it would be neat to share the ability to play them multi-player online. A lot of the original console strategy games really hold up to today's standards with their innovative yet classic nature. On the other end it's neat(I think) to be able to play classics like, Super Mario Bros. 3 online with a friend if you both have never played before. I decided I would post this here, as this is really the only forum I frequent, but I would like to eventually have a small forum for people to get together and play classic games online together. There are some communities like this already, but a lot of them are just griefer bases. This would be something I would do long in the future. Pre-Setup(~5 minutes) If you do not already have an emulation section on your computer this will give you a run down of how to efficiently prepare for the applications you are about to get. When unzipping emulators (as few need actual installation). It is best to unzip the emulator into its intended permanent location, rather then unzipping and moving. This will cause far less errors in the future. No matter what read through these steps. Make a folder called 'Emulation' (name it whatever you want). Inside your 'Emulation' folder create a folder to represent each system you will be emulating. (Snes, N64, Nes, Sega Genesis, etc.) Then create a folder called 'Games' inside each systems folder (this is where your games(roms) for each system will end up.) Put the 'Emulation' folder any where you desire (program files if you wish), but remember where you put it. Place it BEFORE you download any emulators. It does not have to be handy, as I will give advice on how to create shortcuts to those files easily, so that you can have game folders with just icons to click rather than confusing program files etc. Ensure both you and your intended second player have the EXACT same rom file, both TYPE and NAME. After pre-setup it is best to not move or rename any folder inside your 'Emulation' folder. Renaming and moving rom files is ok. Systems Setup Each system setup assumes you have already dome the above Pre-Setup section, have your folders setup, and at least one rom downloaded into the correct 'Games' folder.

Using emulation and roms to play video games is perfectly legal provided you own a real world copy(or previously bought digital copy) of the game. The rom acts as a digital back up from which you are allowed to own and use. I will not help anyone find roms, please do not contact me or post here about rom locations. Do a search on your own they are easy to find. Only post here about anything directly related to this guide(except rom locations). I do not accept any responsibility for negative effects caused by the use of information in this guide, which there of course should be none.
