How to run a NES emulator on the PS2 and PSX

Already reported here how to run emulators for SNES Mega Drive and the PS2. Now show how to play NES, or our acquaintance "Nintendinho" (as incarnated in Brazil in various clones, with various names - including the current "Polystation").

The program emulating the NES responsible for the PS2 is the "It Might Be Nes" or simply "imbNES." Unlike emulators for SNES and Mega Drive, the imbNES was done for the first Playstation (PSX PSOne or, to call you like), and of course, so it can be turned on the PS2 (released, of course).

But finally, let the step-by-step.
Mounting the CD
On page http://imbnes.gamebase.ca/downloads.html, download the following files:
The emulator: imbnesv1.3.2 (or later, if any)
Program Rombank: rombank v1.6.3
Unpack the files of the emulator in a temporary folder.
Run the program rombank.exe. Unlike the other emulators that I already mentioned, the ROMS are not recorded directly on the CD, they are all united in a file and this is going to the CD.
Click the button and select the ROMS you want on the CD. You can get the NES ROMS at http://roms.net78.net/roms.php?v=nes.
Order ROMs on the way suits you. You can click on the button to sort alphabetically.
Ending the sorting, click the button To generate the ISO image of the CD. Clicking on this button, the CD will not be created. Only the image, which can be recorded by any program (like Nero, for example).
Record the image generated by rombank.exe on a CD.
Users of Linux

The assembly requires that emulator to run utilities that run only on Windows platform, then it is not possible by normal means perform these steps on the Linux platform. I tried to run in Wine (version 1.0 of Kubuntu 8.04) but did not work. If you try other versions, you should also get the library mfc42.dll and save the same directory as the rombank.exe, because he needs this DLL.
Using

If the CD generated work, you just have to know that:
Directional: moving the list of games
L1 and R1: previous page and next, respectively
L1 + R1: go to the middle of the list
Triangle: menu of options
Start: play the game selected
L1 + R1 + Start + Select: exit the game and return to the list

Possibly Frequently Asked Questions
I can not write the games on the Playstation 2 memory card. Why?
Because the imbNES was developed for the PSOne. Like any other game for PSOne, you must use a memory card to record the PSOne, and not the regular PS2 memory card. In addition, he must be in slot 1.
How do I save states in the middle of the game?
Apparently, the emulator does not have this feature. Only you can save the game in a few rounds of the season that they had any rescue, and when you play again, then that point, not the exact point as the emulators that have the responsibility to "save state".
When you try to exit the game the emulator detect that the SRAM has been amended and asked if you want to save the SRAM or discard. Answer that want to save, recalling that should be in the PSOne memory card slot and 1.

How to run a Sega Genesis emulator on PS2

There is already here on the site a guide to how to play the PS2 SNES. Similarly, there is also a way to play Sega Genesis in the Playstation 2. Thanks to the emulator PGen.

What do I need?

You need a Playstation 2 and released a CD blank CD. It may be that CD, DVD need not be, unless you just turn your video DVDs

If your video is not released, try the Magic Swap.

How you do it

The PGen can be installed on the memory card or recorded on CD, with or without ROMs. By find it more practical, as show below the record with the CD ROMs. In addition to CD for use as a normal game, do not consume precious space in the memory card.

First you must download the emulator. Download the version 1.2 at http://www.gamebase.ca/pgen/downloads/pgen-1.2.zip. Unzip in any directory.

Now you will burn the CD with the files. At the root of the CD, you will place the files PGEN_12.ELF and SYSTEM.CNF. Also create a directory on the CD ROMS (or another name if desired) and place your ROMs inside. If you want, you can create subdirectories to organize. Burn the CD using MODE2/XA. When in doubt, use the same instructions for the SNES emulator (instructions: K3b or Nero).
Additional Information

From version 1.4 of PGen you can load from pendrives ROMs and hard drives (if your have a PS2). However the latest version on the site is 1.2. In Wikipedia has a link to a purported version 1.5.1, but not come to test.
