If the following emulators can be done on the pc, a sega Genesis emulator is no
problem, Two Atari ST emulators, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64 (a bunch), Apple ][
emulators (a bunch), TRS80 emulator, Mac Emulator, etc can be made a Sega
Genesis Emulator would be a piece of cake, the SNES emulator would be harder,
but is still possible. Now the video games above the SNES would be almost
impossible to run via software (Jaguar and 3do), but there is cards for that.
Trust me, the PC is fast enough with no problem with 486/Pentiums now, no
problem. Its not like its 6000 x 6000 resolution at 16.7 million colors.
Even if you could not emulate them at all which is impossible because you
can, but lets say you cant, you could convert the GENESIS games into a PC
format (off cartridge form)
