Emulation

We recently rearranged the furniture in our living room, and my computer ended up pretty close to the television...


I looked at that and thought... wow, this could be pretty sweet for Netflix on demand and Hulu, so I looked around the house and found one of these:


So we've been enjoying Hulu and Netflix for a while (well, at least until I put Win7 on here, the Netflix player doesn't support it yet). Then I was sitting around thinking (which we all know is a dangerous thing for me to do), and I thought, "Hey, I've got one of these lying around."


A couple of downloads later, and this is what I saw:


So now not only can I play all of my favorite PC games...


Now I can also play Nintendo:


Super Nintendo:


Nintendo 64:


and Playstation:



Now all I need are two of each of these...



...and we'll really be good to go. Though I was surprised you can actually set up your keyboard and mouse to play the N64 shooters in the same style you would play a PC shooter. Perfect Dark got a little easier with that control scheme. The controller I have is also pretty ghetto (The d-pad is not very accurate, a lot of running into pits and aiming in the wrong direction), so it would be nice to have that Playstation controller to play Nintendo and Super Nintendo with.
