Emulation

GameStone's Emulator Recommendations

All Emulator links listed in this section are Microsoft Windows based emulators and have been tested with Windows XP, if you have an older or newer OS they may or may not work. Some of the emulator links also contain other OS releases, ie.. Apple Mac, BeOS, Linux, Wii etc... I have not tested any of these as I don't use these systems. There are other emulators available for the various systems but these are the only ones I have tested and the games work fine.

If more than one emulator is listed the the top one is the best.
