So I am looking to get a gameboy and PS2 emulator for my PC, I have found the website emulator-zone.com but I am not sure if it is safe, so my question is. Is emulator-zone.com safe? If so, exactly how would I go about downloading and installing the emulator and then getting the games? If it is not safe, Where can I get a safe, good emulator?
 
^ i use it because i dont have a tv 😀 (i do have a ps2 and all the games in that list (apart from fragment that one is very hard to get your hands on outside of japan) i also have an xbox (but that supports vga display mode things) and a snes-broken 🙁 the sounds gone on it)
 

depends what you want to get out of a game as to whether you find it boring...
i have a personal best on the nurburg ring of 5:15:363 in the c9 which puts me in the top 1 percent for that time trial...
yeah there are plenty of sub 5 minute times but not many of them are legit. i still havent gotten the 100% complete im stuck at 99.97% ie 1 race left to get gold on... grid on the other hand is an arcade game and not in the same league for precise driving simulation. yeah its fun to drift the corners but you can never really match the feel of a decent sim. which gt4 is...
so its all about taste. if you think gt4 is boring well thats your choice. me i see it as a level playing field that will test your skill...
especially a track like nurburg ring which is 13 miles of twists and turns. you get 1 wrong you can make it up elsewhere but a perfect lap is the aim and a thrill 1s you get it...
currently the only real contender to gt4 is shift2 gt5 is poor in comparison...
 

Yeah I do enjoy a more arcadey feel - Burnout is too far in that direction for me, though... My faves are Grid and Dirt 3, and of course NFS Most Wanted :)

I did like Forza 4 and NFS: Shift, but mainly because those felt slightly arcadey too. Glad you enjoy GT4, and I know it appeals to a lot of people (obviously, looking at all the high reviews) - it's just not my cuppa.
