"The short answer is yes. The ones that I have tried work nearly perfectly, and the best thing is that they're free. So, instead of tracking down a console, then finding and buying all the games you want, you can download a game and be playing in a matter of minutes. All you really need for some great retro gaming is some decent computer knowledge and a PC compatible gamepad/controller, then it's off to the races."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Hell yea they are, i can pretty much emulate any console ever released (aside the PS3 and Xbox 360). Any console aside the 2 of those can be emulated.
It seems funny to me when people are desperately waiting for a HD remake to a last gen game, yet wont give emulation a try. You can play any older gen game with a 360 or DS3 controller. Hell its funny people are so desperate for HD remakes yet dont realise the same HD remakes may not work on the next consoles, putting you back to square one. On PC though if you get a emulator and roms collection, its for yours to keep forever.
I've sworn by them since ZSNES in '98, so yes, very much worth your time. I remember when UltraHLE came out and I was flabbergasted. They're pretty amazing these days, I play all my Wii and PS2 games on my PC @ 1080p now, and it's pretty terrific.
My friends and I were in heaven when CPS2 emulation finally happened, and we played all those Capcom arcade classics to death.
Yes they are defo worth our time, especially for games which were never released in your region or games which were unappreciated when released, meaning that they are rare and hard to find with over inflated price tags only dedicated collectors will pay.
Currently playing Paper Mario on a N64 emulator and loving it. Is a good way to catch up on games you've missed over the years.
I currently play Metroid Prime 1 @1440p..... awesome!!
Yes they are. Having access to a ton of games and consoles on a pc at the same time is much more convenient than having a bunch of consoles.
