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.

    If you wanna/when you're ready to get deeper into it, check out Retropie.

    I spent about a month getting into it and Raspberry Pi in general, and now I have a dedicated little keyboard Pi 400 that has every NES/Gameboy/GBA/SNES/Genesis/N64/Dreamcast/PS1/Arcade game that I want on it and works with a Switch Pro controller, has multiplayer (including online, but I haven't tried that yet), and a bunch of other features.

    Their docs are pretty excellent, and I would be willing to help out if you get stuck. There's some fiddly stuff that you might need to do, but I liked tinkering with all of that.

    I built 2 of them for friends that were a big hit, if you want I could even do that for ya (for the cost of the materials).

    I got all of my ROMs from Vimm's Lair.
