>>720694079>>Emulating is the best way to play retro video gamesThis isn't even true thobeit.
>>720694341I agree, but /v/ says otherwise. Any other way is unacceptable.
>>720694341it's more convenient and i don't have to deal with slowdown
>>720694079this is another thread from the guy who makes that retarded emulator cube seething that people keep telling him to buy an ad isn't it
>>720694341I haven't touched any of my pre-ps3 consoles (i have almost all of them), or my 4-slot neogeo MVS cabinet, since i built an emulation rig and hooked it up to a CRT @ 240p in 2013.
>>720694079Companies, Sony in particular, do not want to print physical copies. So they push the meme that digital is the future, and hope no one questions how absurd and inconvenient it is to entirely remove the option for physical.
>>720694079damn, I thought this was gonna be a books thread with a misleading picI'm reading East of Eden, the combination of homesteaders + evil roaming psycho bitch is pretty interesting. Chinaman Lee is a based character
>>720694079Just don't be the old game version of an audiophile.Simple as.
>>720694079People are anti-emulation because of weird brand loyalty and a desperate need to justify the amount of money they've spent on their game collection despite their low income. This isn't a thing in other mediums. It's hardly a thing in gaming either. It's literally only nintendofags who are obsessed with emulation.
collecting physical books and music makes you a faggot too
>>720696354East of Eden is one of my favourite books, enjoy anonAlso I agree Lee is the best character followed by Sam
>>720694079People just like to troll, I can't imagine someone seriously seething about emulation or retro gaming aside from Nintendo retarded suits. Personally I just like to emulate everything that can be emulated, not just retro stuff, like the Nintendo Switch.
>>720694079>/v/ says emulation is the only wayI'd never say that, but I will say OG hardware fags and MISTER fags are total frauds who can't even fucking spot the .000001% emulation inaccuracy, look no further than the "My Life in Gaming" retards who spend tens of thousands of dollars on misters and retrotinks and PVMs and physical collections just to completely fuck up the audio and coloration of most of their games
>>720694079Books feel good to hold and don't necessarily need a power source.
>>720696883also is not safer against fire
>>720701431not unlike most human beings
>>720696428Weird snek
>>720694079>/v/ absolutely loses their mind over this and insists that emulation is the only way to play. >Not even hardware emulation is acceptable. Only software emulation.Fighting windmills anon? Or are you just another Shitster shill?
>>720694079>save states>a superior experience git out, you damn QUEER
>>720694079>Shitster shilla what shill?
>>720705493MiSTer FPGA, a hardware emulation device that some nigger has been agressively shilling here for the past few weeks.
i don't want to pay $70 for roms on steam
>>720694079you'd be surprised how much /lit/ feels morally superior about physical books
>>720694079books are the only thing here that are actually better than their digital alternative though. Maybe an e-ink reader is comparable or even better but I've never used one.
>>720694079Having a hobby is fine, spamming urelated boards with attempt to gather validation for your hobby is not, simple as.Take this thread for example, instead of enjoying your hardware emulation and occasionally posting it /vr/ thread but you spammed heap of cringe and cope on /v/ and seek validation like a faggot again.That's the big deal, you bother with your hobbies people who don't give a fuck about them.
>>720694079>some even just a physical emulator box that hooks up to a TVsubtle, buy an ad
>>720694079HOW THE FUCK DO I MAKE TURBO WORK ON THIS PIECE OF SHIT, I "CONFIGURED" IT PROPERLY AND FOLLOWED A DOZEN GUIDES AND STILL IT DOESN'T WORK, I JUST WANT TO HOLD DOWN A KEY TO FIRE A LOT AT ONCE BUT IT WANTS SOME SWITCH FOR IT SO OKAY I PUT "G" AS THE SWITCH AND RESTARTED IT SO IT GETS SAVED IN THE CONFIG BUT IT DOESN"T WORK EVEN WITH THE TURBO SET UP CORRECTLY, I GOT SOME FAGGOT's .rmp FILE AND NOW HAVE TO LOAD IT TO EVERY GAME AND IT STILL DOESN't WORK PROPERLY, THE CHARACTER JERKS BEFORE IT STARTS SHOOTING WHAT THE FUCK.It's pretty good otherwise but I'd still say use the original emulator the core is from before you use this.
>>720694079Go play on ps3 with ps3 controller and you will change your mind about using original hardware.
>>720713624Stop trying to cheat you little bitch
