lol, it would be hilarious if you had to turn your monitor around X DDD
im pretty sure it wouldnt work for the pc, since you have to turn your gba for yoshi to move to verious spots of the level. i think you have to use some sort of gba emulater. (i could never get thoes to work, so dont ask me.)

its a computer program (at least the one that where talking about here) which runs roms (specific gaming roms from different systems) on your computer.
gosh im horrible at explaining things.

here, let me try... An Emulator, is a program that you can download, that emulates (replicates) the hardware of a video game system, allowing your computer to act like that specific system. Roms, are the game's programming removed from the cart or disc and made into a file on the computer.

I don't agree with Emulation unless you're only testing a cartridge. Piracy, including emulation, harms the industry and legitimate developers and publishers miss out on a steady pay, which in turn means layoff's, wages not being payed on time, and companies caving in because piracy has taken so much needed income away from them.
Would you want something you've spent months on making, copied, distributed by pirates, and modified by others, for play on systems it's not intended for use on? I know I wouldn't, therefore, you won't find a copied Playstation game, illegally manufactured cartridge or emulator/ROM in my room or my machines.
I'll always pay for the right to play a game. Eitherway you look at it, you cannot sell a copied/pirate game at a higher price as time goes by. This boxed, special edition of Yoshi's island will probably be at it's original RRP in two years time.

I agree with PFY. I want to be a computer programmer as my profession, and I wouldn't like anyone to pirate my software. Piracy prevents future products from being developed. Also, you don't know whether the emulation software or the emulated game has been tampered with, which last I knew, was also illegal.
And I wouldn't want to be in the news for being sued by someone for piracy, e.g. the RIAA and KaZaA battle.

still, its not piracy, or illegal, if you own the original game. still, i really dont like to use emulation unless its for snes games like kirby and mario. i would not use it to try out a new game. right now, i have no traces of emulaters or roms on this computer.

It's just not original either, ya know. Feels better playing it on the original platform. Sitting there, in front of the snes, playing Yoshi's Island. Brings back memories. *glomps*
Eitherway, Universal gravitation Won't be as fun as on the PC. You've not got that sense of urgency when you need to pick the right moment to angle the console to the left, or right, and in the correct way too.

Yeah, it would seem kind of messed up if a played a game on a certain platform for a long time, then would have to learn it all over again on another platform.
