this will be handy for games that feature a 2 player option and you want to play both at the same time by yourself. (Say flying Sonic to a platform in Sonic 3.) So I figured out how to get both port 1 and 2 controllers on my 14 button USB controller. There are times I needed Tails to go do something that Sonic couldn't do alone. A second player in controller port 2 can control Tails at the same time as player 1 controls sonic for a tag team play system. I found that games like Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 feature a 2 tailed fox called 'Tails' following Sonic around. I play a lot of the Sonic the Hedgehog games on it. It may emulate more Sega systems of that era but that is all I can remember off the top of my head.

I am a gamer of the Sega Genesis era and use an emulator called Fusion 3.64 This program emulates these classic Sega consoles: Sega SG 1000, SG 3000, Master System, Game Gear, 16 bit Genesis (Megadrive for folks outside the US), CD system (including the option to boot a real CD game disk from optical drive if PC has one), and 32X. If you go to jail for downloading ROMs, don't say I didn't warn you. Better check the legality for where you live.

ROMs are all over the internet and I won't get into the legality of downloading them. A ROM is simply a file of the software dumped from the original cartridge or disk to use and store on modern PCs. Many classic game consoles and computers used cartridges and disks for their software. The acronym 'ROM' stands for 'Read Only Memory'. Just Google your system you want to emulate and you should get to a page for the emulators available.

Emulators for thousands of game consoles and older PC systems exist. Emulators mimic the original hardware through software allowing a person to play a ROM of their favorite game on their computer. If any of you are classic era gamers like I am, you no doubt have an emulator for an older console on your PC.
