Survey: who here plays pokemon on their computers?

I use VBA. I have all the actual games and stuff, but playing on that tiny screen really hurts my eyes and neck. Plus, yeah, speed button and built in cheats. The only thing that makes me grumpy is I just beat the elite four on fire red with VBA, and I can't get any futher than that. :( It plays the credits and sends me to the main menu. Sigh.

Well for the nintendo ds I use my computer.

For gb/gbc/gba, nes, snes, sega (all consoles), n64, and a few others. I use my PSP :P. My gba took a dump and I can no longer play emerald now :/.
 
I own the tech to play the old games but choose not to. Let's see....no power problems, save whenever you want (I abuse this so much!) built in cheat device, speed button, can play hacks.....my only rule is that I refuse to download "New" games (I wait until they become a little more forgoten, perhaps obsolete)
 
i play on my MacBook Air, it's basically as portable as a GameBoy lol, but really i emulate because it's freeee. plus, hacks are 1337 :D
 
I pretty much use emulators for most Nintendo games nowadays, I also download the ROMs of the web, 'cause I don't feel like buying them... and I'm not really the sort of person who supports proprietary software much. xD I mainly download the ROMs, research them and contribute to the ROM hacking community. ^^

Though... since there isn't any emulator for 3DS yet, I usually buy them in order to play them, as much as I don't support proprietary software much. xD

if there was a Like button here I would click it 9 times
 
Personally when a new game comes out i usually play it on the haldheld but once i have beaten it it goes right onto the emulator
 
I emulate games only if I can't play them on a console. I have a flashcard for the DS that can play GBA games, emulators on my phone (which I feel are like playing on a handheld console anyway), and a Wii that'll play downloaded ISOs of Wii and Gamecube games, so I don't really need emulators nowadays.
 
I played Gens 1 through 3 recently on emulators and they worked out fine and I enjoyed it, but I do enjoy playing on my DS more. I have Desmume for 4 and 5 but I don't really use it too often myself.
 
How did you get a gba emulator on your PSP? I have one and want to be able to play ROM hacks on a handheld since I can't carry my laptop everywhere.

But what hardware do you use? Also, how do you get your ROM hacks on there to play?

I play on emulators all the gen games except for the ones on DS. I want to know how I can play the Rom Hacks on my DS or on my PSP. I see a lot of people were saying they play the roms on their PSP so I was wondering if yall could tell me how?

I currently playing Fire Red, Pokemon Trading Card, Leaf Green, Yellow and Gold. But since I bought Soul Silver, and borrowed Black from a friend the emulator games have been taking a back sit.
 
Best to use a emulator on a laptop for older games, Plus you have lots of hacks of these games and you can enter cheat codes easier. Also speed-up is good for GB pokemon games :D
 
I want to play NO$GBA but i can't seem to get the save file right i always end up not having any save file after i shutdown my pc. i followed tutorials but i seem to not save any file for pokemon white version. so sad. -.-
 
Constantly, but every other time I use my PSP but I recently bought some flash carts so I could start playing rom hacks on my actual Game Boy. Nothing beats that!
 
I play Pokemon on my computer, visual boy advance emulator is best for it.
