Welcome to the server.
If you do decide to go the console route, refer to this topic to help you get set up:

I highly suggest this if you plan to be playing for a long time. The reason I say this is because the emulator can be very unstable with random freezing and bad lag. It can be frustrating for both you and those who you are playing with.
Regardless of which method you choose, welcome back to Outbreak.
