Default game emulator

does anyone know of any other emulator that works well for other systems besides Nintendo. I know there been a lot of talk of yames and nes. Just wondering if there's one for sega or PS or even PS2 or others.
Thanks in advance for the feedback

Come on... ps2? If you really really knew what you was doing, you might be able to strip down a ps1 game of all music, sounds, and movies and play it with some serious frameskip. But it probably wouldn't be worth the effort and there's no good premade emulators at the moment so you'd have to do it yourself.

So obviously, no. Look into MAME, Atari, C64, GameGear, GameBoy, etc.

There aren't enough buttons on a PPC to be able to play those games anyway...

PC engine, Sega Master system and Game gear (genesis emulation just like snes is really crappy) and lots of old computer formats like MSX, C64, Apple IIc etcetera

Yes I've seen links to it, but I don't know where it is and I haven't tried it because everyone says that it's way to slow and jerky. Not close to being playable yet.

There's a few GBA emulators. One's by the dude that makes Morphgear, and it's pay. Forget it. There's another out there called VBAdvanceCE that's up and coming. They aren't there yet, but claims have been made we could see near full speed on today's hardware. I personally doubt this, but who knows.

At any rate, search pocketgamer.org for links to all this and more.
Like I've said before...

Im using Morphgear's GBA emulator (no, its not worth the money) but, I've gotten it to load up most of my GBA roms. It runs pretty slow on most games, but on games such as yugi-oh that already have a slow pace, they are playable.

I’d love to find a SNES or Genesis emulator that runs at a decent speed. The one Genesis emulator I tried on my Axim just gave me a blank screen.

the first beta releases of that new VBAdvanceCe is really, REALLY slow for GBA games.

Give em some time, and they will, at least, improve on this 8)
