Its called an " Emulator " to get one just go to google and type it in, click the first link, on the right side should be a section titled "Emulators" and it has different ones for different consols. Choose which emulator you want, then go to coolrom.com to get the games for that emulator. I am currently playing Chrono Trigger right now on my computer, its awesome! I'm also going to be getting the first few Final Fantasies soon. Also if your computer is slow like mine, dont worry about it! all downloads are zip files, so it makes it that much faster. Also don't forget to set the keyboard buttons in the emulators options. If you don't you might not know what to do in the game.

most of us are aware of this already. plus once you download the emulator, you have to also download the game software. Thanks though.

well, just letting people know, and I already knew you had to download the game software, hence the website coolrom.com

indeed. In any case this actually belongs in the billboard instead of the SE section. Moving.

I used to play roms... but I don't really like playing stuff on my computer, so half the roms I downloaded I ended up buying the actual carts (back when EB still stocked them) and playing on my consoles.
