    Afternoon peeps (I'm in the UK it's afternoon here :)

    My name is Skye, I'm 25 and have a little boy and I love anything techinical/electrical I can use to entertain myself with.

    I have no taught experience on the use of emulators or roms/isos or such like, only know from trial and error which I love!
    I love gaming and have been gaming since the age of 5 thanks to my fathers love of gaming also.
    My friends consider me to be a geek but I love the fact I can hide it so well and sit at home on my lappy figuring out what I can do to 'mod' it to make it run faster or entertain me better.
    I have 4 xbox 360 due to the fact 3 have suffered the ring of death :*(
    I also have a dreamcast, playstation 1, nintendo 64 and my beloved lappy.
    Currently I'm playing LFD2 on my xbox and trying to update my graphics drivers for my lappy but its being difficult grrr >_<

    Peace out (loving the site btw)

    Skye x

    Ah, another romU mummy has joined :)

    (we have a few of them around, most infamous are miss_g and natewlie)

    Welcome to romUlation!

    Please read the stickies, follow the rules, and if you need help at all, don't be afraid to give us any and all info, and we should be able to help :)


    I self taught myself on many things, I mostly come here to share what I know, and to learn (some parts of emulation I'm still learning...partly because I avoid using emulators unless it's a dencent snes emulator on my psp :) )


    4 with rings of death...I would have contacted microsoft, but I assume out of warrently/modded consoles?


    How powerful is your laptop...while mine can play resident evil 5 at 40fps...everything has to be turned off for that XD


    Well enjoy your time here, m'am :)


    And g'day from downunder :) (it's 2am...but that's still morning XD)

    Good Morning!

    Welcome to RomU!

    When I started emulation, my friend gave me 4 roms and an emulator patch...and I figured out the rest. :)

    Hope you have fun here!

    Thanks for the welcomes
    Yes 3 rings of death :( My first xbox was modded so I couldn't send it back, the second one run over the warranty and the 3rd is being 'fixed' so I got a new one with extended warranty :)
    My lappy is a sony vaio with intel core duo CPU at 2.53GHz, NVDIA GeForce 9600M GT and 4GB ram, it can generally run most games quite well. I'm currently playing GTA 4 on it with most of the settings on full and suffering no slow frame rates I'm not too sure how I can check what the actual FPS are while running GTA 4 but its sweet and smooth looking :) I used to build custom PC's but due to lack of space I had to settle for a high-end lappy instead. I wanted an alienware one but for the price of their machines and the price of this one it was a win for the sony side ;)

    Ah I see, I used a benchmark to test, built into most capcom games these days.
    Your laptop sounds awsome, but does it have a blue ray drive :p
    The ones of your spec usually lack it, its why i got mine,i may post specs next time, ps3 typing sucks : (
