Ah, yes... ruining carts with the Game Genie to the point where they'd only run when inserted into the Genie again.

I use my pad for most games now. I do have to change around some settings occasionally (read: any N64 game), but it's pretty intuitive.

I used to use the keyboard all of the time, but once I got a GameCube to USB Adaptoid so I can use my GameCube controller on the computer... It changed the world of emulation for me!!! I'm also getting one for PSX controllers (with a DDR pad, I can play Stepmania and etc.)

I think, depending on what the game is, that either Emulation or Console can be the better experience. For NES games, I actually prefer the Emulator because of the fact I can speed it up and use save states. (Or even better my GBA with a flash card and Pocket NES )

Megaman 3 for NES is my fave MM ever ... really addictive music, especially Hard Man's stage tune, the second boss battle bgm and the second Wily stage theme ... plus great NES GFX and playability
I play my games on an emulator since my NES doesn't run too well and very often shows garbled GFX or even freezes after loading
I'm using a SpeedLink pad with force feedback ... unfortunately this feature is not supported in any amulator I know ...

When I would play emulated games on the computer it felt like I wasn't playing the real game. But when I have the computer plugged into the TV so that the games are on the TV, then they feel like the real thing. I find that you just don't get that console experience on a computer monitor like you do on TV, though you do need a gamepad. Mine is great.

I agree about the X stuff. I just can't seem to find a decent configuration for jumping, sliding, shooting and walking. The first battle with Agile in X2 is a nightmare, since I end up pushing the wrong button all the time. Waah.

But I did beat the PC port of MMX, though. Yes, it's bad. Don't try it, unless you're willing to give up playability for save files. But then again, You could just play the rom and use save states.

Hmm...it was hard to beat Violen in MMX2 but when i had a good strategy to beat him, it was pretty easy.

Some people say that NES actually ruins carts itself, in a slow way...

The NES design wasn't that good infact, it created the famous flash problem. Which an newer nes fixed. (which was releases 1993 right? )

yes i agree w/ you

btw, the first battle w/ Serges is frustrating too, using the keyboards, since i have to jump and run and jump and then run again to avoid his multiple bombs

You need a gamepad to really enjoy emulation. You can get by with the keyboard for some stuff (like NES/GB/Genesis/etc.), but for stuff like SNES/PSX games... Come on. More buttons = more complexity = the need for more flexibility.

*remembers the multi-key bug in ZSNES* Ugh. They still have that?

Oh, but he wishes he could bring modern technology back into that dreary year of 1989. XD

I believe there was talk of a NES/PC combo around that time but nothing ever came of it.
