For those who grew up in the 90s, there is something magical about old games on Dandy, for example, shooting ducks or "tanks". Despite the outdated flat graphics and simple plots, they still bring joy to older players and interesting in terms of history for younger players. You don't have to look for an analog console to play these games; you just need to set up an emulator on your computer.
Necessary
Computer, game joystick
Instructions
Step 1
First, download some emulator program. They are all very lightweight and easy to install. After installing the program, download your favorite games in the. ROM format. On the Internet, you can find hundreds of classic 8-bit games that are no different from their cartridge originals.
Step 2
Create a folder called Dendy ROMs where your games will be stored. Copy the games to this folder after unzipping them. After starting the emulator program, click "File" - "Open" and select the game you want to play. The biggest advantage of computer versions is the ability to save your progress at any time in order to continue the game from the same point next time. To save, at any time go to "File" - "Save progress".
Step 3
Control in most games (for example, the famous "Chip and Dale", "Battle Toads", "Mario", etc.) is carried out using the arrow keys, the keys "CTRL", "ALT", "ENTER". In arcade games where speed and reaction are required, such controls can be very inconvenient. Fortunately, it is possible to connect a conventional computer game joystick, which can be purchased at any computer store.
Step 4
Connect the joystick to your computer's USB port. When the device is detected, follow the Add New Hardware Wizard. Run the emulator program. If the joystick is not detected automatically, go to “Options” and select “Controller” instead of “Keyboard”. It is especially convenient that in the controller settings it will be possible to bind the joystick buttons to certain commands in the game, for example, assign the upper part of the cross to jump.
