Free downloaded emulated games... Are they 1-1 copies of the real thing?

Meaning the graphics and sound is just as good as the real thing compared to playing on a console with the actual game inside? The games I play seem kind of compressed and pixelated. I dont remember the graphics being this bad when playing Playstation games on my tv.

Um, your a bit confused here... The "games" you are downloading,( by the way that is illegal... Ya prolly want to keep that to yourself.) are copies of the original games AKA roms. The pixelated look is because of a number of things. Most importantly because its on a computer monitor. Most emulators have "filters", try turning on a filter and it will look much better. The sound quality, like everything else, is being emulated. This is why we call it an emulator, so not its not perfect.
