Click the tabs on the top of the webpage and look for your console to find your ROMs.
Inspired by that thread from the other day. I hope this thread inspires anyone who wanted to get into retro games to consider emulation instead of 5000$ scalped disks and consoles. This site maybe doesn't have the fastest downloads but it makes emulation sooo easy for anyone hesitating!
Edit: thanks eveyone for the links!

Chinese emulator devices have been a thing for a while now but it is my understanding that they have only recently become actually decent.
Here's one I linked above

Some of them even run Linux instead of Android
Oh nice that looks fun. I'm holding out for something that can replace a DS. Doesn't need 2 screens necessarily but being able to place the two views into one screen while still having controls would be perf.
Not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that's a feature in every DS emulator. The relatively big screen for the price class with this one would probably help in that respect
That's true though the stacking will probably leave a lot of blank space with a horizontal 16:9 screen. To properly fit side by side you'd want an 8:9 ratio, but DS screens were 4:3. Stacked horizontally they'll add up to 8:3, so 24:9, leaving about 1/3 of the screen space blank. Stacking vertically would use the screen better but then you'd need to hold the thing on its side.
It's honestly probably fine though I dunno.
