Emulation will never be the same as playing on the real thing
>>732272892don't care I have a huge game collection with the consoles and I just emulate the games I already own always
>>732272892You are right. Its actually better to emulate.
>>732272892retrofags are so reddit
>>732272892Then why do you watch porn?
>>732272892True, emulation is a billion times better.
>>732272892I agree, except the Nintendo 64, that console was a piece of shit and they shipped games with severe slow downs.
>>732272892>smw is the first game I beat when I was 6>still own my original copy and snes>haven't played in probably over 20 years>think about replaying it>remember it's literally for babies
it will only be a matter of a few years before it breaks.
>>732273217Not even zoomers or alphies can beat the "baby" games of old. They get filtered HARD after a just a few deaths.
>>732272892Yeah, it's better
>>732273217Do a creative run, try pacifist or something
>>732273262Just repair it? You DO have marketable skills and don't just play video games all day, right anon?
>>732273217Remember, eating, drinking, and breathing air is for babies, now kys retard.
>>732273025Would be a shame if the cartridge was just... a shell... protecting the actual piece of hardware that does the actual fucking job. Store them in an anti static bag and wa la.
>>732272892You're right . Emulation is better
>>732273351invalid argument
>>732272892Correct. It's usually a much better experience. For example, you can play Smash 64 with 4 people without the slowdown that appears on original hardware, or BotW above 720p 30fps. Both are just objectively better experiences emulated vs hardware.
Even if you're anal retentive about playing PS1 games in HD, you can't deny perspective correction is an objective improvement.
>>732273738cmon bro don't throw actual hardware limitations under the bus. Frames = Win. Stupid calculations that don't really add much but kill frames = LOSE!
>>732273474Invalid skills

>>732274013fast forward is evil.
>>732272892you're right. emulator is better than the real thing>speed up to skip the boring parts>can replay your favorite parts ad infinitum thanks to savestates>upscaling and retexturing support>randomizers and other mods>lets you use any controllerand many many more advantages
>>732272892i don't care. i just want to play games. i'm not some manchild who can't grow up and needs to relive his childhood every single day.

>>732273217worse, it's a game for retards
>>732274001further proof that coomlectors don't actually play vidya
>>732273025literally everything rots
>>732273519The original slowdown, framerate and resolution are part of the experienceEmulators always have bugs and graphical issues
>currently emulating Madworld in 4k with a controller profile that replaces all the wiimote wagglan with normal button presses.who needs it to be the same if it can be better in every single way instead.

>>732274560His Xbox account got banned because of a Microsoft policy that was implemented at that time, they automatically banned everyone that was found in the sex offender registry. It wasn't because HAHA XD HE WAS SAYING LE FUNNY WORDS ONLINE.
>>732274348What the fuck? They use video games for torture?
>>732274969Yeah it would be easy just force them to play a turn-based JRPG.
>>732272892No, it's better for everything except the PS3 if you don't have a good CPU
>>732274969No it's fake.
>>732274372Plastic doesn't usually rot when it degrades
>>732272892Don't Care, dont give a fuck, i rather emulate for previously owning the real thing, and you are a Faggot, millenial barney kun.
>>732274828I would hope that he got banned for being a sex offender. Don't know where you got the implication that I assumed otherwise.

>>732272892No one cares about the old hardware nerd. I threw my nest out the window when I got my Genesis so I could see what was in it.
>>732273025Well yeah, everything will one day break down into nothing with enough time, welcome to entropy
>>732275541These people aren't nerds.Old pre-2006 nerds would had shanked them with broken bottles of beer.
>>732275296>Don't know where you got the implication that I assumed otherwiseFrom Microsoft itself. Back in the day when they implemented that in the US, me and other people tried to implement it in my own country with no success, the US is a little baby compared to here , which is a pole for children abuse.Also, pic related, it's easy to ascertain it.
only original hardware on CRT can produce the SOVL
>>732272892yeahI will use pgxp and 2x resolution, shaders, filters, 60fps patch and widescreen hacksI will speed up loading times with fast forwardI will skip unskippable cutscenesI will use savestates if I feel like the game is bullshitting meI will skip the boot sequenceI will use mods and fan translationsI can do all of that on one device with a comfortable wireless controller and I'm not apologizing
>>732272892That's why it's called emulation
>>732276752Still not getting the true experience
>>732276691I agree about CRT TVs but original hardware is just a pain in the ass, it's way more convenient to just hook up 1 PC which can do it all and store the games too.
>>732272892Any sufficiently advanced emulator will be identical.What could an emulator *never* emulate?
>>732272892It's good enough for anything before the PS1/N64 era. Anyone telling you otherwise is just trying to sell overpriced old shit.
Maybe, but unless you have a few thousand dollars to spare, your library is going to be 3 games at most in the modern market unless you REALLY like sports games.My concession is that it's just not right without the right shaped controller.
>>732272892it's tough to play on the real thing these days. Like I have a Super Nintendo in my closet but I am not hooking it up to my TV. Neither is designed for the other, and I'm not buying an ancient CRT.
>>732273217have you beat it while getting all yoshi coins? there are some surprisingly well hidden
>>732272892I paid about $4000 dollars for my physical collection, mostly 10ish years ago. It's now worth about $25k so I'm selling it to put into house building funds. It's just not worth that.
>>732280545FOUR THOUSAND??
>>732272892You should at least invest in flashcarts if you insist on playing on original hardware. The prices on old games gets absolutely stupid at times and having a single cart that plays everything is a nice compromise to emulation
>>732272892Playing the real thing won't make you 10 again
>>732280545>I paid $4000 for a speculative $21k profit
>>732272892imagine the smell
>>732272892Careful, you'll summon the MiSTer faggots
>>732282954Yeah I have a ton of rarities, basically everything worth anything from the PSX. I also bought all the pokemon games (many with boxes) and those are now worth hundreds each.>>732283701I bought them because I liked them but I rarely play any of them anymore and when I do I just emulate them.
I bought X-Men Legends 2 for Gamecube. Stopped working after 2 minutes into the game. Then I bought it for PC, which didn't work because the game was too old. Then after buying it twice I emulated it and it runs a lot better than it would've on the actual consoles with a PS5 controller.
>>732272892Actually in that specific case, yes, it is.The subjective experience of what it entails? Maybe not. But objectively speaking this is the same as playing on the real thing.
>>732272892youre right bloodborne runs way better in an emulator than it ever could on original hardware, lmao, lol, rofl, ahahahahhahahahahahahaAHAHAHAHAHHAHAhahaha
>>732283564But everdrives don't come with legal roms. They're not valid licenses.
>>732272892the psp proved that with the right replication it can be just as good if not way better on a superior handheld.
>>732272892I'm an old man, I played on the real hardware back in the day. I don't miss it.
>>732280545Damn that is quite the return
>>732287529Yeah you can get it running at 60 FPS start to finish on PC now.
>>732273262Lol my SNES is still good after decades. Only repair I have ever even needed to do was swap out the membranes in my controllers. Shit wasn't even "built to last" in the 90s fwiw but it still ends up lasting.
>>732272892no, but it's free
>>732273217the first video game i beat on my own was jacksepticeye glitch in the system
>>732290901>first got into gaming with a youtuber's fangame made in 2017die
I like emulators. Rewind that shit when you die. Beat hard ass games you never could back in the day. Get pussy instead of grinding muscle memory on some tryhard tine waster game. Feel gud
>>732283564OG hardware + flashcart is the way to go. I still like to collect individual carts alongside it even but yeah I'm not shelling out 300 bucks for Metal Warriors. Also getting to play translation patches and romhacks on OG hardware is really really nice.
>>732272892 You're a 100% right OP but in fact it's better because of safe states I love using safe states I hate having to replay the same s*** over and over again
>>732283564Love me fx pak pro.
>>732290964it was actually smash bros that got me into this shitthen reading up on everything gaming has to offer until i reached max autism
>>732280545Most original hardware fans won't admit it but this exact scenario is a huge part of why they're willing to shell out big bucks>Buy game & enjoy it in its purest form>Sell it at a profit once you no longer find joy in owning itRemove that second part and suddenly paying $200 for a single game no longer sounds reasonable
For me, it's original hardware with flashcarts
I don't care play however.
>>732291336Anymore I just don't see the point, the market price is based around collector spergs now, not people actually wanting to play games. I am not saying people don't buy them because they want to play them, but the pricing isn't based around that. There are bad games that I bought for $4 that are now $40 because they are rare (because they are terrible). Barnyard for PS2 comes to mind as an example I have.
>>732290981>>732291334>Go back to the start of the level if you dieYou know that's a big part of the design and you're meant to play the game that way?Some older games are definitely pushing it too far just to stretch out how long it takes to beat the game, and it's fair to use save states in such games.I just hope you're not using save states in games where that just makes the experience less memorable and rewarding as a whole.
>>732272892perhaps for portable devices, but for consoles? emulation gets you there.
>>732273025Everything degrades with time. Even you.
>>732272892That's true, emulation is usually better.
>>732291753Honestly even save states. Who cares? Actually using them would male me better at the game because I can key up the hard parts and practice over and over immediately instead of fucking replaying the whole level or game to get to that one part. Couldn't care less about the games shitty design which was intended to stretch out a relatively short experience.
>Spend hundreds to over 1,000 dollars for a hardware emulator and a 4k upscaler/or big CRT, plus original games that are collector's items and are admittedly very simple gamesor >Download it all for free and don't pay a dime to play an emulated game for an hour. Which is what you do with old games.
>>732288215Nintendo can only bust down your door if you live in Japan. Most of the games are no longer in production or can be bought. Unless you're somekind of Zognip system-slave this shouldn't even bother you.
>>732274479I remember trying to do this and it was kind of a pain in the ass. Is there a premade profile you used?
>>732272892I emulated (and completed) 110 games last year. Eat my ass.
>>732286262Many such cases. The MGS Master Collection on Steam is just a shitty ass 480p port with no features. I refunded that shit immediately and emulated it perfectly with way better fidelity and control. It's sad.
>>732279842crt
>>732292931Ok so plug your PC into your CRT
>>732280276hmmmmmmm that's true
>>732292931CRT shaders are good enough for me
You're right, emulation is better. I have literally every Nes, Snes, Game Boy, gbc, gba, master system and mega drive game ever released and I don't need a whole room to keep them, miles of different cables tangled up all over the place nor do I have to get off my ass to play another game.
>>732293095it's not just about the visuals, CRTs work in a way that will never be replicated with 0 lag or input delay
>>732293194Do you play any of them? You see, the problem with your scenario is that it becomes a collection more than something you interact with. I never download more than 2 games at a time so that I actually play them.
My og retrobshit might be better but I dont have the space and its been in a tote for a decade+
>>732275434Breathing is for babies, you should stop doing that as soon as possible.
>>732272892That why Wii u is the superior console that can play every single console up to Wii u legit
>>732274681>Tendies hate this and want me jailedYou're inventing people in your head to be a victim of.
>>732276752>I will use savestates if I feel like the game is bullshitting meWorse than anything, you're a casual. You're just larping about playing vidya to get imaginary internet points.
>>732294535If he is admitting to using save states, then he is actually playing games. Which, I suspect, many of these purists do not.
>Why yes, I only play original hardware and carts on a CRT how could you tell?
ishygddt
I feel like this dichotomy exists in all hobbies. When you are younger and hungry for media, and passionate, you go the cheap route that is accessible, and you don't think about it for one second because you are enjoying the pure medium. Then, as you age and get more resources, more sophisticated ways of enjoying the medium become accessible to you. But a lot of the time the pursuit of better and better hardware and accessories becomes it's own drive, and the original passion is put on the back-burner. I'd rather be someone putting in hours in old games on software emulator than a performative collector that only posts pictures.
>he doesn't play on retro consoles
The collectorfag hoards shelves and shelves of plastic that he just likes to look at. Occasionally he will play a game on his original hardware and CRT set up, so that he may take a picture to post on his Instagram.The emulatorchad simply desires to play a game. He will download any game in history that he chooses. He will boot it up in seconds, and play it with any control scheme and improvements he wants.
>>732295006I was big on physical media in my 20s but in my 30s I'd rather have that money in a cool sports car.
>>732275918Gold is eternal
Savestates are fine as long as you don't abuse them (using them only as reasonable checkpoints if the game's level consists of a long easy first half followed by a hard as balls second half *cough certain stages in DKC2*). It's rewind that is the actual cancer.
It's honestly true. Play games on the hardware they were made for, on a display they were intended to be viewed on. Anything else is a brown imitation.
>>732295006>>732295157These are just copes to say you are poor and can't afford a retro console. You will NEVER have the same experience as play on original hardware. It's like watching a movie on your phone. You were cheated. I feel sorry for you.
I love old games and I play them on emulators.
>>732295558But I literally explained how money comes into it and allows you to get better hardware. Did you read?
>>732295558I owned old consoles, and got rid of them because I stopped using them in favor of simply emulating instead.
>>732295351You're a fuckin retard if you have to savestate to beat dkc2
>>732295676>translation: im retardedYeah I already knew that
>>732295676Having a second tv isn't a bad option.
>>732295773>theatrical RotKA man of culture.
>>732295697I don't have to. I beat it legit back in the day. But some of the extra levels are long as fuck and make you start over from an easy section that goes on forever before the challenging part. Reloading from the start of the challenging part instead of the beginning of the game just saves you time.
>>732295753One day you'll grow up and realize that the experience of playing the game is more important than hoarding material possessions.
>>732272892Good thing I lived through it all which means that argument doesn't work on me and I would rather have a single device that does it all than have most of my room filled with dusty retro consoles.
>>732274348>Sent from my iphone
>>732295890What makes you think I'm not playing these games retard.>experience of playing the gameEmulation fag talking about "the experience of playing a game". You don't have an experience playing a game on an emulator. It's just another download you have. The experience is around everything with a game. With the original hardware on a crt. The way the game was meant to be run. You are having a watered-down "experience" or lack thereof. There is no experience with emulation. It's all fake.
>>732296084You are putting more value into how the game looks than anything else. You are not valuing the game itself.
>>732272892Picking up my $50 chi ese handgeld emulator with ever single game made before 2000 on a single micro sd card and a pixel perfect ratio screen is better I'd say.
>>732296180Wrong. The value is the game with the original experience. Emulation is a simulation. It's a facade. It's not the game.
>>732291474I agree (although I generally prefer emulation these days)
>>732295573It's a shame how racing games peaked on PS2The genre still has so much potential left
>>732295573Game? Very nice atmosphere ya got there
>>732296407You could have a conversation about a game you played on original hardware with someone who emulated it, and neither of you would even know how you played it if you don't mention it directly. The platform you play the game on does matter for the overall experience of the game.
Umm…yoshizisterz….why is it wrapped in plastik?
>>732288215Doesn't matter if they sell them as "preowned".
I mean it absolutely can be and is for everything gen 4 and earlier, we have emulators that have 100% accuracy.If you mean the "vibes" sure, but my "vibes" were never playing 90% of those games on a tv anyway, because I didn't have them, so why would I care if I played it on console if my first experience was with fucking zsnes?The autists making emulators are even emulating the LAG to 100% accuracy now, there's literally no reason not to emulate besides some pointless nostalgia.
>>732296341You should maybe swap out the micro sd if you're still using the generic one they sent youThose cheap cards have a way higher failure rate
>>732296618>The platform you play the game on does matter for the overall experience of the game.What a watered down opinion on experiences. Going to a sports game in person is different than watching it on tv at home. Watching a movie in a theatre is different than watching it on your phone. Playing a game on original hardware is different than playing it on an emulator. These examples are not the same. You might have think you experienced it the same but you didn't and never will. I am sorry for you. All the emulation nerds itt have mentioned they do it for convenience or because it's cheaper.
>>732297135As I said, you just put a lot of value into how the game looks. It's fine if that is what is most enjoyable to you. I care more about actually playing and experiencing the game.
>>732297408>As I saidI accept your concession. You ran out of arguments. I play the game the way it was meant to be played. You play a fake version and have no experience. You have my pity.
How do you buy retro from resellers and resist the urge of murdering them with your bare hands?
>>732296558Gran Turismo 4 Spec II
>>732297768Resist?
>>732295558>These are just copes to say you are poor and can't afford a retro consoleThis is exactly the "you're poor if you can't afford PREMIUM shit like me" argument.
>tfw we never got to have a CRT handheldWe should make one today just to showcase the height of the human spirit.

>>732297980They had tiny TVs for camping and outdoors that were CRTs but you still couldn't really hold them in your hands comfortably. Also>drop handheld>explodes with glass going everywhere and a massive discharge of electricity
>videogames board>people bitch and moan if you play physical videogames on consoles and tvsAll of you /v/irgins are just posers.
>>732297965Premium? A N64 off of eBay is like less than $100 lol
>>732273025Why are emutrannies so parinoid?
>>732272892True but it being real doesn't make it more enjoyable.
>>732298259This board is poor as fuck and one of the lowest IQ boards as well. Owning things is extremely rare here.
>>732272892I emulate on a CRT. It's better than the "real thing".I have an entire room full of gaming hardware/carts/discs because i was a hardcore collector in the 2000s.I don't use any of it anymore, because emulation for generations 2 to 6 on a CRT is so good it's actually better than having to fuck about with all the unreliable nonsense and constant maintenance work involved with real hardware.
>>732298259Physical video games are subject to almost universal denouncement from holes, "people" sensitive to hole opinions and basedlets that live in pods and can't physically fit proper retro setups. That is already covers most of nu-/v/.
>>732297516You're arguing in circles, and never refuted my point about two people playing the game on different platforms earlier.
>>732298259>Posting some niche horror game more known for its pricetag than its gameplayThese days 80% of people who buy retro are just speculators and resellers
>>732298337>using intended controller the game was designed for>using era specific display rhat the console was made to output to>playing games knowing you own the media that is being playedIt does in fact make it more enjoyable.
>>732297768Why are you buying from resellers?I scour second hand websites 24/7 for a large spectrum of things (legit 30 tabs open at a time) and buy every deal I see.I got rare games at premium prices several times. Got 3 copies of Metroid Zero Mission, last one for €10.
>>732284843doesn't smell like anything, it's AI
>>732298254>>drop handheldNot my problem.if you make a crt the size of a GBA screen it will be portable enough. In fact there should be a GBA with a CRT screen.
>>732298427I am not. You are with the whole "I'm just playing the game man" lol. You are just playing a fake version that's all there is to it. Also I did address your point about two people playing a game with my analogies here >>732297135.
>>732297135Truth.
>>732298406How do you do it, are you using and upscaler/downscaler? Retrotink 4K?The only problem I experienced with old consoles is the laser will stop working. That's it.
>>732298485Yeah I've done both and enjoyed both tho, so I've determined this isn't true.
>>732298645A handheld system is going to be dropped because their audience is going to children and/or retards. They probably tested every Game Boy by throwing them against the wall a few times.
>>732297408>I care more about actually playing and experiencing the game.Actually I do which is why I've played the game since it was commercially available and didn't wait 15 years to play it for the first time on a 12 inch laptop screen using wasd. We aren't the same.
>>732298421>Setup 3 consoles>Get constant complaints about how you're cluttering the living room>Have a nice set of shelves full of prized games>Get told you're wasting space and making the room feel smallBut we never talk about the multiple closets full of clothes and shoes
>>732298841And I've determined it is.
>>732298432It's a great game. Very beautiful, highly recommended.>known for its pricetagThat's why I posted that one specifically, to anger the kind of people that get mad at other people playing physical games.
>>732298645>if you make a crt the size of a GBA screen it will be portable enough.Viewable screen size is one, having it actually portable is a completely different ballpark. Not only would this weigh a ton, but the depth makes it unwieldy and power draw won't allow it to be fed with only AA batteries. There's a reason why the Gameboy and Gamegear went with poopy LCD.
>>732272892SNES emulation is actually better than the original hardware. Nintendo was stingy with some of the hardware, which is why the SNES has more input lag on the controllers than the NES. With emulators, you can reduce the SNES's input lag to levels you would never get on the original console.In addition, the guys do "fidelity" tests or something like that, and they found that NES emulators already surpass the original hardware when it comes to the expected response within the CPU or whatever.
>>732298975Ah I see, so you agree it's relative and not objective.
>>732298942I put the games and consoles on display before getting a foid so I don't have this issue and never will.
>>732299028
>>732299081That won't stop me from knowing I'm superior to you in every way. Same as why I drive manual transmision vehicles and shoot revolver pistols. I'm just better than everyone else on the road using automatics and everyone on the range using semi-autos. Simple as.
>>732299028>depth makes it unwieldyJust put handles on it.>power drawJust have it hooked to power. That's what I do with my Steam Deck. Almost never used the battery.It doesn't have to be optimal, it simply must exist as a proof of concept.
>>732274040But ran at 50hz, which is absolute dogshit
>>732298259kuon must cost 5x times the price of that ps2 slim
>>732299201I'm guessing you made your metrics of self worth the products you purchase, because your abilities, skills, and personal relationships haven't been great
>>732299291A lot more than 5x. I paid the ps2 €30 kek.
>>732299252Mine doesn't, but then again if that's a dealbreaker there's always the Super Famicom.
>>732274001>euro plugLikely Brazilian.
>>732272892do i agree? Yes.Is it simpler, easier to emulate at least for me? Also yes.I don't use save states, but good to have it around. I love have easier access to save file to back it up. I don't need to buy converters and suchs to connect them to modern TV or alternatively have one of those big TVs around. I grow up with technology, won't deny it has the charm and might look better. But considering how much effort (more like delivery wait time) and money i would have to put in aging hardwares, that for me it's more sensible to just emulate stuffs.>>732292724>>732274479ah, man. I remember trying that game when visited family at christmas. It was dumb fun. I'm also interested in the premade profile too.
>>732272892wrong
>>732299352You would be incorrect.
>>732299516it's one of these
>>732299584Coulda fooled me, when I think of successful man, I think gloats about playing children's toys correctly.
>>732298993>the kind of people that get mad at other people playing physical games.I don't know many people like thatHowever I have to admit that I'm a hater of people who claim to be gamers but only really care about buying popular/rare games (often strictly CIB & great condition) At that point just admit you're a collector who cares about the resale value of the games and move on, stop pretending you're a massive fan of Rule of Rose & Pokemon Emerald
>>732298485No it doesn't.
>>732299662You're allowed to think whatever you want about me.
>>732299830I've determined it does.
>>732273217The vast majority of games are made for children, but some of them are still excellent, SMW included.
>>732272892i just finished designing a tile-based graphics circuit based on snes specs (less only mode 7, high resolution features, and a per-char bg offset feature)
>>732299836That is true.
>>732272892If you've already experienced the real thing, emulation is fine. I really like the SNES controller though.
>>732299880You're mentally retarded so noone gives a fuck.
>>732280545>pissing away valuable assets into a liabilityRetard.
>>732300112Sure.
>>732293297Sure, I've played plenty. There's no chance I will play every game, shit I probably won't play 75% of them, but they are good to have. There are still those that are on my todo list, plus having a complete collection means I know I have it if I ever hear some random recommendation or see something while watching avgn or similar videos.
I have a super famicom with everdrive, a ps2 39001 with opl and homebrews and a clear blue n64, should i get a wii or a ps3 next?
>>732292371This is true and it's why you should never take someone seriously when they whine that you're not playing ironman in whatever the fuck game. You can experiment a lot more and learn a lot more if you aren't retarded.
>>732300041SNES controller is great and stood the test of timeMaybe I'll buy an 8BitDo SN30 Pro to get a similar feeling
>>732272892Had this as a kid, emulation is better.
>>732272892true, but I will cope
>>732300290PS3 is a safe betWe used to talk shit about its games, but in hindsight that console had a great libraryIt's also very affordable>WiiAlso affordable and doubles as a GamecubeYou could get both if space isn't an issue
>>732272892did it come with a couch friend to play vidya with?
>9 consoles and a CRT in my bedroom next to my PC setup>9 consoles in my living room That's not even counting the handhelds. I'm also a wizard, surprisingly.
>>732296881That was the first thing I did. Have a samsung one with sonic on it.
>>732299778>At that point just admit you're a collector who cares about the resale value of the games and move on, stop pretending you're a massive fan of Rule of Rose & Pokemon EmeraldI am both.I love to collect shit and always have since I was little. I generally only buy games I'm interested in, I don't buy something just because it's expensive.I do buy some things that I like that are expensive, though.Don't really care about CIB for cartridges but for disks it's a must. I am a huge pokemonfag and fromsoftwarefag, I wanted something rare from them and love Japanese folklore so I decided to splurge for Kuon.
it's gayming time
>>732300290You should get a Gamecube with a Game Boy Player and mod it.
>>732288215>yes goy keep trading 30 year-old cartswhen will you stupid retards fucking die
>>732300812>I am both.Being both is alrightCan't blame someone who buys a pricey game and actually plays it rather than just post pictures of it on social media and have it sit on a shelfCaring somewhat about the value of your games is inevitable with physical, you're actually purchasing something you own so it better hold some kind of value unlike a worthless digital license
It is completely unfeasible to play arcade games on original hardware (and severam computer games too), so emulation is essential for the hobby.People who say they love video games but only buy original hardware (as many YouTubers do) are actually hardware lovers, not software lovers.So much so that these guys often don't really know anything about video games themselves. They don't play a damn thing, and when they try to play to make YouTube videos, it's clear that they don't have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of most game genres.Their hobby is creating fire hazards by connecting 45 shitty consoles to the same old worn-out tube TV.
>>732273025I don't give a fuck about the retail cartridges, R4s will be made until the end of time Simply using the hardware is what matters
>>732300158I can't raise my kids in 8 copies of Pokemon Emerald.
>>732301437>People who say they love video games but only buy original hardware (as many YouTubers do) are actually hardware loversI've seen that a lot with handheldsPeople buying the Gameboy Micro, the PS Vita, the N3DS, etc. but they rarely play on themThey just like having cool techThat's even worse with Chinese handheld enjoyers, some of them have 10+ different models and actively look for new releases to purchase
>>732272892>Emulation will never be the same as playing on the real thingCorrect. Emulation is typically better, especially if speed, performance, framerate, custom aspect ratios, mods and playing games on high resolution means anything to you. Accuracy is very good, but can be even better accuracy than that is only possible through full-cycle emulation or FPGAs like the Mister.>plebbit spaceThe only exception to this rule might be consoles you genuinely care about, are best experienced through real hardware, the hardware is just too unique or your computer cannot run it well.For example>Owning a PS2, either with flashcarts or a physical collection, means you can use pressure sensitive buttons on a select few games and ability to easily plug into a CRT. Still good as a display piece, too.>N64 is notoriously hard to replicate its quirks and additionally the controller has an analog stick that is yet to be found in any other controller.>PS Vita has that touchpad area on the back of the handheld, which very few games utilize.>Xbone and PS4 emulators are still in beta, and will require much beefier hardware to run well.Unrelated but anyone knows how to get the Wiimote speaker to work on Dolphin? Do I need a special bluetooth dongle or adapter (or the Mayflash bar) or is it just some setting thing? If not possible, is there a way to make the Wiimote speaker play the audio on the PC instead of the Wiimote?
>>732283564>buy carts>play them>sell them back for more moneyit's like blockbuster but it pays you
>>732302083>The only exception to this rule might be consoles you genuinely care aboutAnd there we have it. The emutranny doesn't actually care about games and just wants to tinker with settings to achieve biblically accurate framerates.
>>732302421I'm trying to picture anyone with an enviable life or a significant other calling someone an "emutranny" and am failing
>>732302189>sell them back for more moneyThe average retro gamer spend $100+shipping+tax for a game and then only gets back around $85 when he sell itOnly resellers who spend hours each day flipping games as their side job make money that way these days
>>732302553Good to know.
>>732272892>NA modelyou didn't play the real thing

>>732273053same reason I emulate, cause it's free.
emulation is evil. What gives PC gamers the right to play all these games not native to PC
>>732305909Falseflag post
As the resident xbox KING of /v/, I decree it is HOMO to prefer to emulate games over using the original hardware. Shouldnt have sold your nintendo you retard! Plus, its not like 150 bucks for a NES, 2 controllers and some games is a bad deal... look on ebay right now and come back here with a str8 face and tell me again its too "expensive". Im unemployed and i got enough xboxes and periphary i could sink a battleship.
>>732307497you look trans
>>732272892Don't care.>Hook up laptop to TV>Fire up emulator>Get off-brand SNES controllerSame experience, if not extremely close to it.
>ctrl+f "better"Nice work anon. OP is a faggot, as usual.
This thread has told me that collectorfags really, really don't like the fact that people can play everything they've spent thousands of dollars on for free with better resolutions and framerates.
>>732300290i'd get a modded wii and chipped ps1 if you're unable to play its pirated games on your ps2 currently
>>732310729add megabezel to that and some hdr, and it's a better experience
>>732305765it plays games better too. For example, to this day Totk is not 4k. It's 1440p with fake hdr and it's a $10 upgrade or $80 charge on switch 2. On an emulator you can run it at 4k 60, with rtx hdr or special k if you're autistic enough to mess around with the values. And you'll have a better experience than the official product for decades
I suppose there's a certain physicality to playing it completely legitimately, the way the cart clacks in, the console starts up, the whirr of the old tv, and so on that an emulator isn't ever doing. I experienced these things as a kid so it's pretty easy to envision personally while emulating something, but I do understand the thought process. I sold all my games but kept the consoles to softmod/buy flashcarts, seems like the best of both worlds, personally. You just aren't going to ever convince me modern retro prices for old hunks of plastic are worth the cost.
>>732272892The console experience is the controller.There are controller adapters and usb variants.Emulation is not the same, because it is superior.Nintendo offers emulation via online subscription with a wide selection of options to choose.
>>732272892and thats a good thing
>>732272892Bet you never play the games or use the systems you bought. Or maybe you do but only play them for a couple of hours and never touching them again. Retro collectors aren't gamers, they're Disney adults but for retro gaming.
>>732272892Software emulation yes.
