Recommended emulators

So, you're looking around the wiki, found some good games to play for the older consoles, but you don't actually have it. And you're not willing to buy a new console just to play it, or as a result of time passing, dem bricks have jacked up their price tags on eBay beyond your budget. So what do you do? Use the emulator. This page has the best emulators for each console, along with it's features. 'Note: Emulators aren't perfect. Depending on the game, you might get some glitches. Few of these should be game-breaking, though. Also, some games may flat-out not work, so you may want to check compatibility lists. PS3 and Wii U emulation has gotten better over the years, but they're still far from perfect. Expect to wait a decade. Xbox emulation for desktop computers is still extremely rough, so it's better to get a 360 or a One until a decent emulator comes.'


 * Admin note: Don't link to ROMs or any .exe direct-install links. (This note is just to cover the site's collective ass, and I apologize for the need of it.) - Derpiko


 * Also note: If an emulator is said to work on x86 (32-bit) operating systems, then for x64 (64-bit) users who are too retarded not tech-savvy, send the emulator to the Program Files (x86) folder, and remember to always open as admin. Read here on how to do so. If it says "Both", then choose the appropriate version for your OS. If you don't know what architecture your OS is, then LOOK IT UP AND DON'T ASK /G/ NOR /TECH/!!
