Q:   Is Nintendo 64 Emulation Possible?
A:    That is a difficult question to answer.
        I am not some technical Wizard on Nintendo 64.
        I have seen many comments on this subject.   That it is possible, and that it's not.
        As of now, the only emulator I know of that is having
        significant progress in Nintendo 64 Emulation is Project Unreality.
        I don't see complete Nintendo 64 Emulation happening any time soon though.

Q:    Is Playstation Emulation Possible?
A:    Absolutely!
        As of the time of this writing, PSEMU has made significant progress in the area of Playstation emulation.
        Many games are fully playable, and run great!

Q:    I want to link to your files, can I?
A:    No.  I paid for the bandwidth.  And having someone else use it is like stealing
        No one should ever link to anyone else's files. ROM's or Emulators.
        Linking to someone's files can take a site down FAST. DON'T DO IT!
        There is almost nothing that brings down good sites faster than lamers linking files.

Q:    Do you have ICQ/Can I have your UIN?
A:    Yes I do have ICQ, But I rarely turn it on because I always
        have to turn it off when I burn CDs
        So the answer is no, you can't have my UIN, because it wouldn't do you any good.

Q:    You don't seem to have the latest emulators on your download page, so I had better send them to you in an e-mail...
A:    WRONG!
        Do NOT send me files for several reasons...
        1)    I have a fairly slow modem, and do not want to sit and wait for a file that I probably already have.
        2)    I probably already have the file, ask me before you send it.
        Rather than sending me the file, give me a URL where I can find the file, or get my permission first!

Q:    What do I do with a .Zip File?
A:    Files ending in .ZIP means they are compressed files.
        You will need a program such as WinZip or PKunzip to "unzip" them.
        Then you will be able to use the file as normal.
