What emulators do you use to run different games, for example, on Windows/Linux/macOS and Android? (lemmy.world)

The ones I return to regularly:

Dolphin - for GC and Wii. Most titles using Wii remotes require the sensor bar thingy and mine recently stopped working. I haven't bothered buying a new one yet so it's GC games only for now.

Nestopia UE - for NES on Windows. These days I mostly use my Switch for (S)NES titles anyway but like once a year I get the craving to return to some classic SMB 1 or 3 rom hack.

    You probably know this already, but two candles or lamps, basically any two IR light emitters work as sensor bar replacement.

    Yeah I did try the candles method years ago and it didn't work very well. Although maybe the candles weren't the right distance apart from each other or something else like that.

    Good thing cheap battery powered ones seem to still be readily available on Amazon and other places

    I've had problems when another IR source was nearby, like christmas lights or the sun shining in at a weird angle and/or being reflected. But yeah, just buying a new bar is usually much less hassle.
