I also find that I actually play with all the games MORE on one cart (most I've spoken with say the opposite for some reason, go figure). The ability to play using the original hardware makes it totally worth it for me. The test cart function is also great considering how finicky the Coleco hardware tends to be. You can basically play the whole library on one cart using the real hardware (much like, well, a flash cart). The Atarimax Flash Cart for the Colecovision is truly ace. There are already a handful of self-booting dreamcast ISO's out there that have all the roms and emulators on them. You can also make your own CD's with the emulators/roms and burn a disc for your dreamcast. Then you can run all the emulators you want. Thanks!~The easiest way is to softmod your original xbox. The consoles I'm mainly talking about are SNES, NES, and N64. I realize there are SNES to USB controller adapters, which I will get if there is no other way, but was just curious if there was a way to do this. My question is there a way to play roms through a console? I've seen those old Super UFO 8 bit disk drives you can attach onto the top of an SNES and play images through there, but I have never been able to get my hands on one, and I'm sure the snes rom formats aren't compatible.

Not as malicious as it sounds, actually.as you know I'm an avid collector of the hard-copy of the game, but there are some custom roms or even prototype roms that I will never in my life be able to afford or find (like the Starfox SNES beta or Mortal Kombat II for NES). The bottom has dropped out of the console copier market so it's a great time to pick one up. If accuracy if your thing then that's a good route to take.

The one advantage that console copiers have over emulation is that the games are 100% because they are the original code running on the original hardware with the original controllers. I'm pretty sure anything from the Xbox/PS2 forward can emulate the NES/SNES with virtually no problems.

Just stick a mod chip in your Xbox and download any of the dozens of emulators. If you decide to go the emulator route, people have already done the work for you. but I know it (and many of the other older flashcarts) requires a parallel port which can take some configuring to get working.

The Z64 uses zip disks and the other two read roms from CD (I own all three). For the N64 there are three common copiers (Z64, CD64, V64) and one flashcart (V64 Jr.). My favorite is still the Super Wildcard series. The biggest problem with copiers at this point is that a lot of them weren't built great and they are starting to die. For the SNES you can either go Flashcart or just pick up a copier like you mentioned. Remember with NES you are dealing with mappers (sometimes custom ones) so compatibility is always an issue. The RetroZone NES Flashcart is probably the best NES choice.


If you want to play on the original hardware, you'll want to pick up a console copier or a flashcart. Just to break it down, you need one of two things: a console copier for the original console, or an emulator for a newer console.
