Aug 22, 2015 Download a gba emulator and you're set. To be honest I'm going to build a mini arcade that will have a big selection of roms
Aug 22, 2015 I think I'm going to install a s--- load of Roms, and use my PS3 controller IDK why I haven't thought of that before
Aug 22, 2015 I did that and used my 360 controller, i also hooked my laptop up to my TV so it was just like playing PSone but with a better controler and any game i could download....
Aug 22, 2015 GBA / Nintendo DS emulators are great. I use them on my tablet, it's nice to have the entirety of my handheld gaming childhood experiences easily accessible. Look into some old SCUMM engine games too. Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, etc. They're hard and dated as f--- but it's cool to spend a few hours seeing what gaming used to be like lol.
Aug 25, 2015 Already been said, but emulators work great for low power PCs. Mainly consoles/handhelds without joysticks (e.g. GBA, SNES) work best with keyboard but if you plug in a controller, than stuff up to PS1/Game Cube era work well too. Other than emulators, most indie games will work well, and a couple that I can recommend off the top of my head are: - Cave Story (Paid version is better obviously) - Rogue Legacy - Super Meat Boy - Binding of Isaac - Castle Crashers - Mark of the Ninja - No Time to Explain (although it's not a particularly good game) And assuming your computer isn't too crappy, most older games should work fine if you reduce settings/graphics/particle effects/etc. For example, I was able to comfortably run - Borderlands 1 (and borderlands 2 but that had some serious lag spikes throughout. Borderlands 1 was buttery smooth for pretty much the whole thing) - Skyrim - Call of Duty 1 and 2 - All the Guilty Gear games (made by the same developer of BlazBlue so a fast paced pretty technical 2d fighter like street fighter) - Retro City Rampage Comfortably on a pretty a--- laptop at around 25-30 fps if I optimized it as much as possible.
