    And you unzipped the emulator file first, so it's copying a directory with a bunch of files within?

    Maybe I'll try to do mine to see how far I can get.  This weekend maybe.  This quarantine sucks, I still have to work -- harder and longer than ever no less.

    I've never done it, but I think this is how it is done:
    Download the emulator you want. Unzip the file on the computer.  It should create a folder like "SNES" with a bunch of folders and files underneath.  Put your ROM files in the ROMS folder of this unzipped folder Now filezilla that SNES (or whatever) folder over to your XBOX E\Emulators\ directory Reboot the xbox, go to programs, emulators, and you should be able to run that new emulator. Did you make it this far?  Does the emulator show under the programs, emulators menu?

    I’m Gianna, I’m new to the forums and wanted to introduce myself to everybody. I’ve been reading the forums for about a year.    I love Breakout on 2600, as well as 7800 Ms. Pac-Man and Food Fight. 🍦 I live in South Florida close to Justin, currently I’ve been very into playing my Nintendo Switch (mainly Pokémon!), and I have a dachshund named Sally. 🐾   It’s great to be here joining in things and I hope to get to know all of you a little better soon.   😊

    @RadioPoultry, it looks like you could record your gameplay on VHS.  I think that makes you the automatic winner.

    So, I did not get it immediately.  My aunt got it for my cousins and they all were very excited with it and playing it like crazy.  When I first saw it at their home, I was very disappointed in how it looked.  It was nothing like the arcade.  The colors were all wrong.  Despite that, I did buy it and played it lots...until Ms. Pac-Man was released.  Then I never played it again.  Ms. Pac-Man showed that they had done a lousy job adapting the original Pac-Man to the system.  I played Atari's Pac-Man again years later when I found hacks in Atari Age.  Nukey Shay's Pac-Man 8K I think is what Atari could have done back then.  Different but with enough similarities to be more acceptable.

    My recollection is:

    Electronic Games magazine panned the game, and I'm pretty sure I read that before buying. 

    I know that I had to save up to buy it, and I remember the purchase day and store well.  The Pac Man box barely left my hands at the check stand.  We got home, and I played and played.  The flaws were obvious.  Wrong colors, wrong sounds, Pac Man only facing side to side.  But I played and kept track of high scores.  Friends played too.  We had fun playing for high scores and also ripping on the game as we went. 

    Answering your question isn't easy.  I knew it wasn't great.  But I had fun playing it anyway.  I don't think the game ruined the gaming industry.  But for me personally, it marked the end of the 2600.  My thought being that if that's the best that system could do, it was probably time to move on.  Looking back, I'm pretty sure that was the last game I paid full price for.  I didn't start buying 2600 games again until they were all on clearance.  Pac Man and Defender were the two that stick out in my mind as "not good enough". 

    I moved on to an Atari 800XL, which had an awesome Pac Man and Defender. 

    PS - I think I was 13 years old when 2600 Pac Man came out.

    I remember saving my money up to purchase this specific game back in the day.  When I finally did play it, I was a little disappointed, but was young enough that I still found enjoyment in the game and played it too death.  I would have liked for it to have been more arcade accurate but now I consider it a classic along with the games sounds.  If you want more arcade accuracy there have been several remakes and hacks including the Dintari Pacman and the Nukey Shay Pac-Man 8K which are both excellent...

    My workplace was getting rid of that TV last year (until recently they still did training videos on VHS), so they let me have it before they threw it away. I had a CRT TV already, but no VCR. (Also, this one has composite input.) I picked up a bunch of VHS tapes at thrift stores. (They are so cheap now!) Here are some of them. I still need to watch a few of these... I certainly have the time right now.

    People don't like it????  Why?

    This version perfectly displays the power of the 7800.  No flicker and really fast movement.  No other Atari system before the 7800 could do it like this.
