Everything You Need to Know About Emulation in Tower Unite. A Quick and Easy Guide to Get Started.

This video is made to help you get started with Emulation in Tower Unite. In this video I cover where to obtain what you need in game to get this working, any information you may need in terms of compatibility, how to adjust the look of your machines, how to obtain FREE and LEGAL games, what the controls are and any other little tidbits that came to mind.
In this video I do NOT show you how to pirate games or obtain BIOS files. You are on your own with that, I can not showcase that on video.
Some Things I Forgot to Mention: The Dual Screen Console is something you'll want for DS/3DS games. Stylus Mode on those consoles is mouse driven. I was not able to test every platform but everything I've tried has worked mostly. Some Dreamcast Errors which I cover, Neo-Geo doesn't seem to work, A few MAME games caused some crashes, PS2 is very hit or miss. Multi-Disc support for PS1 needs some extra work. Check the Pixeltail Resource linked below for some game compatibility lists and tutorials on how to setup multi-disc support.

[@DeadByDerek]

Thanks for this! Was very easy to follow and very well done. now I gotta make a space arcade for all my emulation needs :D

[@AlexIsPlaying]

Make that perfect room!

[@galacticzombie1942]

Nice work on the guide. It was helpful and informative. Thanks Penguin man!

[@AlexIsPlaying]

Thank you Zombie Pal!

[@BdeBoxi]

Is there a way that random people can join and play without need to download the roms? I'm trying to make an arcade condo

[@FMCybear]

i don't think that can be done since the game has to play from a file, if they don't have the file then it won't run

[@SpeakrsGames]

I never really got into the game myself but it was actually really a cool idea. Also damn this is meta, emulating games, inside a social game xD

[@AlexIsPlaying]

Just need to play something like Namco Museum in it. Emulating Games inside of a PS1 Game that is being emulated in a social game.

[@SpeakrsGames]

@@AlexIsPlaying oh god no plz my small brain can't handle that concept :^(

[@missfishxx]

I liked the emulating in this video.

[@can_o_cheese5375]

i got a problem with the dos where all the text is blue and it won't let me select any games.

[@TEC-XX_619]

For some reason, specifically Citra won't load any games for me, same issue happened to a friend of mine. Any idea what I'm Doing wrong? I simply put the .3ds file into the Citra folder.

[@AlexIsPlaying]

IIRC, 3DS Files sometimes need to be run through a decrypter. I haven't messed with 3DS emulation in a while (and never in Tower) but it's very possible that may be your issue. I wish I had other info beyond that but I don't. It could also just be Citra not working 100% in Tower as well.

@@AlexIsPlaying Thanks, I'll check that out!
