Games are so goddamn boring lately, I need tips!
There's great retro console games you probably missed out. You might want to learn how to use an multi-emulator like Ares however I must warn you in advance, emulation is a legal gray zone, and a licencing hell.

I must know, how do you emulate fire emblem on a windows laptop?
Which game do you want to emulate? If you're talking about fe7 (localized as just Fire Emblem in the west), you're gonna need a ROM which I can't link here but I can PM to you if you need it, and an emulator. I recommend Mgba (https://mgba.io/) for GBA games.

Here's the thread for the Real Battle Network Gameplay patch, here's the English translation patch, and here's the emulator I recommend where you can just slot in the Navi of your choice to unlock them immediately. The ROM you'll have to scare up for yourself, but I'm sure you can handle it.
