[email protected] - A silly milestone we passed sometime this year: The Internet Archive now emulates (to various degrees, of course), over 250,000 pieces of software, hardware, and electronics, thanks to the effort of a dozen emulation projects and all of them running in the browser. Live again, ancient software!

    Vimm is great for most retro systems, but when you get into the disc-based era, the proprietary or alternative formats are pretty bad. For Wii, you download a weird stripped down ISO format that requires a random piece of software to restore into an usable format, for instance.

      Ah, I didn’t realize that. I mostly have played PS2 games that seem to work pretty well. I’ve downloaded, but haven’t actually tried any of the newer system stuff. I’ll give the internet archive a shot then.
