Title says it I want to play old games without going broke. Do I need a vpn, where do I find roms. There are a lot of games I want to try but only so much money so help would be appreciated. PS2 games N64 games PS1 games and the like.

Edit got f zero gx playing on dolphin but it jumps up and down on fps. Playing with the settungs is making me this that the computer might not be powerful enough. Gonna try more later because brain outta juice.

Thanks everyone who helped.

    do I need a vpn

    Not unless you plan to torrent, I think

    Where do I find roms

    Vimmslair hasn't failed me yet (tho you can only download one at a time and it's a bit slow)

    Also keep in mind you need a pretty good pc

        Don't forget the Gamecube one, it's one of my favorite games on the platform and Dolphin emulator is really great

              This is how we reach the youth by telling them cool communist chicks online can teach them how to get games on computers. Hope chicks isn't derisive or anything wanted to do alteration.

                    I mean this with the utmost respect but your typing style genuinely feels boomer-y to me (in a good way)
