Yo.
Get one of these for your PC:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-PC-Ret...-/200643283634
http://www.amazon.com/Classic-USB-Su.../dp/B002JAU20W
Then d/l an emulator (the console in programme form) and various roms (the games):
http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/snes/
Then play away on all the games you used to love. :D
Edit: I haven't actually used a SNES emulator before. I don't know how you get the pad to work with one but it must be possible. I assume the pad itself has some S/W in which you can assign the keyboard strokes to the various buttons and the buttons for the emulator will be customisable.
I have used MAME previously, which is an arcade machine emulator. Fantastic fun.
The alternative is to play in your browser. The experience is never as good AFAIK:

If you have trouble getting a pad to work then you can d/l 'joytokey' and do all the assigning, even for complicated modern controllers like XBOX360.

That's everything you need mate.
Cheers trev, I've got the emulators but I need satisfaction in the form of real snesing.
Hmmm that's different :) cheers dears :)Quote:

Edit: just seen your next post. Have you been using emulators with just a keyboard? That can be really pants.
Also, I have a HDMI cable that runs from my lappy to my telly. You could even play the game on your tv like a real SNES :)
Lol I have all the gear, I play chrono trigger on the laptop on trains etc lol I wish to handle the goods and play :pQuote:

I think I finally threw my SNES and games away last year, I can't remember for sure. I'll be finding out if I still have it or not shortly. If I do, I'll let you know.
I love youQuote:

I love proper retro gaming, i'm a sega man myself as brough up on them, but it has to be on the actual console, still play operation wolf on my master system plug in convertor for the mega drive. love the chunky feel of it, not to mention no load times!
god gaming was better back in the day!
Golden axe on mega drive FTW!
I really need the original final fantasy games too, no not number 7 on the ps...
streets of rage > golden axe imo ;)
There's only one real way to play snes and its just not the same on the pc. Only console I will play but I don't think I have starwars I will look though.
Which game is it Jon? The first one? Looks like they did a trilogy :)

Ace.
You and I had a similar console-based childhood by the sounds of it. :) Though we also did the Sega thing for a while, with both Master System and Megadrive (and CD).
Ruined my GCSE's.
I wasted weeks of my life playing Mario Kart against my younger brother. Beating him at that was all that mattered when I wasn't playing outside.
I had a mega drive. Regret selling it :(Quote:

Remember a game called Star wing fx. I think. Great game.
Swos on the Amiga. That's the best retro gaming you'll get. :)
Legend of zelda a link to the past was my personal favourite for the snes still got it and f-zero :)
We share similar tastes, I have all zeldas :)Quote:
