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.
Since you're trying to play games on multiple platforms, you might want to consider using an emulator frontend like RetroArch to make it easier to manage your collection and not have to worry about managing each and every emulator you come across. Features like save states, turbo, and rewind will behave the same way for every platform. Plus, you can use it to enable user-created achievements made on retroachievements.org which is pretty cool.
Full disclosure though, although the site documentation will hold your hand most of the way through setting it up, the amount of configuration options (like, it has options for its options) can be a bit overwhelming until you get more familiar with it. Theoretically it should be as easy as installing a console's core (and manually adding any files that can't be legally bundled with it), scanning a directory for roms, and launching it. In reality though, you'd have a much smaller headache downloading and configuring each emulator by itself even if the end result will look a bit messier by comparison.
