snes9x works great. You'll have to download roms for the games you have (and you'll have to search to find them...), but I believe it is legal to do so if you already own the cartridges. You can also play many (all?) of the legacy games on a Wii, but you'll have to buy them again (I *think* the snes games are about $5 / game). --Rogan > On Ebay, Super Nintendos have > gotten ridiculously expensive.
