The GameCube sold very little and it really seemed like the end for Nintendo, which was only supported on the Nintendo DS portable console, before the Wii launch which, as we know, is done a bang. Nintendo tried again a few years later with the GameCube which, finally, used disk media in the form of 1.5 GB mini DVDs. The emulator Mupen64Plus works on Windows, Linux, and Mac with decent compatibility for most ROMs. On N64, however, you can play fantastic titles, including the first adventure of Mario Bros in 3D. On Nintendo DS emulators I had already written an article.Īfter the great success of Super Nintendo, the Japanese company came out with the Nintendo 64 which was a commercial flop due to the cost of the games (still with cartridges) and of the Playstation competition which instead used CDs. The Super Nintendo 16-bit with cartridges, you can play on the PC with the emulator ZSNES which should work well enough to replicate videogames downloadable from ROM sites or even with SNES9X which is better and newer. Starting with the first Nintendo, you can play today at Nintendo Entertainment System from 1983 with the emulator FCEUX for Windows. 2) NintendoĮven Nintendo is a historic home of video game consoles that, at present, has risen to prominence with the DS and the Wii. Reicast or NullDC is the emulator for Windows while on Mac and Linux another emulation program called lxdream.īoth emulators are still under development, so not all games work and, as the Dreamcast was powerful, you need a good computer. Some independent companies are still developing Dreamcast videogames today.

Yabause also allows you to play with burned or original game CDs (including PSP) and runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux.

Yabause is the Sega Saturn emulator and the last Sega console, the Dreamcast. The Saturn games are not many because this console did not have the desired success however, the quality of the videogames is very high. The successor of the Mega Drive was the Sega Saturn 32-bit, a console that was crushed by the Playstation. The emulators to play with these 80s Sega consoles are two programs for Windows, Linux, and Mac: KEGA Fusion is Gens GS. With this Japanese house, whose traces have been lost, you can start with the historian Sega Master System to 8 bits (1985) and of the successor Sega Mega Drive (1988) at 16 bits.Ībove all the Mega Drive was a worldwide success that you could and can still play today, like games like Sonic.
