A video game console emulator is a program that allows a personal computer or video game console (cross-console emulation) to emulate a different video game console's behavior. Emulators are most often used to play older video games on personal computers and video game consoles
Please note the Emulators are only to be used to play the retro games you already legally have purchased. We also will never provide the system files sometimes needed to use these emulators so don't ask us for the files, Indie Retro News won't provide them. However I am against the stance that some sites use that no emulator discussion is to be allowed, if you have the original systems and you have payed for your games you have the right to use them as you so wish.
