I think I got all the ROMS via torrents. I rarely actually play the games, I just wanted to see if I could get it to work.

Re: [PLUG] Super Nintendo emulation...
I know you can get all the older Zelda games (all the way back to the originals on NES) on a disc that plays in the game cube. There are also game discs with all the old arcade style games. The Legend of Zelda - Collectors Edition - ASIN B000BRULV0 The arcade style game discs are Namco Museum ASIN: B6IKCD and Midway Arcade treasures (Vol I-III) Hope that helps some.
