I see these retro emulators pop up from time to time, but I just don't have the time to really check them out (or the discipline to realize always an addict looking to avoid relapse). I know that there are "complications" about the ROMs to use in the emulator. However, is there a scene of people making ROMs of new games specifically for playing in these emulators?
