What do N64 and SNES games look like? I remember seeing F-Zero running on the Wii U, thought it looked gooseberry fool and bought nothing else. Any improvements on PC emulators? I think a small windowed screen would make the games look better.

Certainly handheld games look better on a smaller screen, if you up-res DS games above a certain point they look awful without some custom antialiasing plugins. I play nes, snes, gameboy and gba games on my phone as the screen is small enough. F-zero gx at 1080p and 60fps is a sight to behold

I've only sampled Goldeneye on Project64 so far and whilst it looked like ass (always did in my opinion), it plays really nicely and sounds great. Also has cheats that you can enable which I definitely haven't used
I downloaded Dolphin before work this morning and a few of the top titles so am looking forward to trying more stuff this evening. These emulators have opened up a whole new library of games that I never got the opportunity to play before, all those classic games that you see in top game lists that for one reason or another I just didn't get to play, can't wait to experience them all

I've got it in my arcade machine and under-TV PC. It's hard work - and I'm still not 100% happy with it.
I like having the artwork and video previews, but I'd probably just go for Emulation Station if I had to do it again.

I also got ZSNES and downloaded some of the classics on that that I've never played, can't figure out how to use my DS4 with that yet but perhaps that emulator's easier to use with a keyboard, I dunno?
Got PCSX2 as well but only had a quick play about on that, seems good though.
Going to have to take a look at the Dolphin guff, looks and sounds fantastic!
Emulation is amazing
I'd also recommended trying PPSSPP for (you've guessed it) PSP emulation, it basically does all the upscaling magic that Dolphin does but for the PSP.

Whilst I did have a PSP (and I even played it a couple of times!), I'll be honest I'm not really sure there's anything on there that appeals. Any recommendations?

Not much then
I actually had Wipeout, Killzone & Vice City but I will have a look at the others on youtube and see if they tickle my fancy.

There's a tonne of good games on PSP. The ones I mentioned were just the tip of the iceberg, Resistance is decent, Crisis Core is worth a look, there's a couple of Disgaeas if that's your thing, Everybody's Tennis, FF Tactics War of the Lions, the 2 Syphon Filters, the Capcom arcade collections, Lumines 1 and 2, MGS Portable Ops.

A shitload of other RPGs that I missed/never got around to

As well as stuff like Timesplitters, War of the Monsters, Dark Chronicle and Rez, I've been mostly going after obscure b-tier racing games as well as ones released in japan/US only - Touge 3, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Racing Battle C1 Grand Prix; a difficult prospect when they get released under completely different names in different regions.
Other than that i'm trying to decipher the GPX Cyber Formula games - based on a cool futuristic racing anime i'd never heard of until recently.

Nice update. I will check the PS2 emulator at some point, although no idea what to try as I never had a PS2. Maybe I'll start with Silent Hill - The Room as I had that on the XBOX but gave up on it.

In that case silent hill 2 should be your first port of call.

Played that on the PS3 (had the backwards compatible 60GB launch machine).

Nice update, Brer, thanks for doing that
Question - Project64 is now prompting me for a donation and won't let me skip the prompt, so I'm unable to access the emulator itself. Is that normal? I'd be happy to donate if it was being a dick about it

I believe every version of PJ64 from 2.0 onwards is behind a paywall. Though as with most stuff on the internet there are copies floating around.
EDIT: After looking into it, the donation should disappear after 30 seconds. Failing that you can try the confirmation code "thank you from project64", or go into project64.cfg and set the run count to -1.
