Hi, Dave here.

Want to play Nintendo games on your brand new TV?

That's all I did all weekend!

Follow these steps  for the Super Nintendo system and away you go!

You need a TV, a PC connected to it and a USB controller or port.

You can get the all-important controller or port here:

I got the port one because we still have my wife's original SNES controllers and wanted the authentic feel!

You then need to download SNES9x from, unsurprisingly:

http://www.snes9x.com/

Then, you'll need to get some ROMs of your favourite old games. Now, I'm no expert but I'm fairly sure that there are legality issues surrounding ownership of the games so I recommend you upload your own ROMs, like we did, from the original cartridge.

Then, you will cease to be a functioning human being and become the angst-ridden teenager you were when all you did was try to beat the High Score on Dr. Mario!

You're welcome!
