>emulation lets you play every retro game ever released
>they're all shit
Why do so many people praise the libraries of old consoles? The games are boring and bad.
>>
It's like reading an old book
>>
Fat soibois are mentally ill and enjoy feeling like children
>>
There's lots of fun old games. Check out the /v/ Recommended Wiki for more info.
>>
>>738165046
if you use retroarch you are a retard and probably a zoomer

this is just a bait thread anyway though
>>
>>738165046
What do you mean? Yes there's tons of no-name dogshit from those times but there are enough gems to last years. I would rather play gradius for hours and hours going for a full clear than all the shitty roguelite deck builders that are being shat out now.
>>
>>738166193
It's not. Every retro game I play is a boring slog, aside from some arcade shmups.
>>
>>738165046
Chrono Trigger is good
>>
>>738165046
Even the "shit" games feel more authentic than all the indie slop copycats on Steam made by trannies whose only inpiration is cookie cutter trendy shit.

This is the main reason to play retro games, it's like a time capsule where even the "bad" things felt more real and different from each other.
>>
>>738166729
>authentic
I don't think you know what you're saying.
>indie slop copycats
If it's fun then it doesn't matter. Vampire survivors and it's copycats are more fun than anything on the SNES.
>>738166634
I didn't like it, though I didn't get far.
>>
>>738166879
>slop survivors
Go awat zoomer
Your kind is not welcome here

>>738165046
Gayming was never good
also
>retroarch
you are brown

OPs problem is that he's stubborn. He play a game he didn't liked and his brain locked on disliking every old game regardless of genre. There are so many different games that it's virtually impossible for any sane person to dislike them all unless there's an outside denominator unrelated to quality and mechanics.

That or the poor dummy has been playing the same two or three genres on repeat.

your PC can't emulate even SNES, Pedro. Stop projecting.

They're not made for modern gamers like you.
>>
>>738165046
Yet they are still better than anything new you could be playing now.
>>
>>738169668
Really? So the Adventure of Link is a better game than Elden Ring?
>>738169564
Are older movies not meant for modern watchers? Are older books not for modern readers? I can watch 12 Angry Men or read The Hobbit and have a good time. I can't say the same about playing Final Fantasy.
>>
>OP is a vampire survivors fan but hates retro game

theres at least 100 games better than that. Vampir survivors is a mobile game. You do nothing and you are fed dopamine and good feelings like a gacha or f2p roblox game

OP is definitely a zoomer
>>
>>738165046
I can own it. Wholly. Offline. Illegally, but truly.
>>
>>738170496
>You do nothing and you are fed dopamine and good feelings
and that's bad because... IT JUST IS OK???
>>
>>738169958
>read The Hobbit
zoomers can't read at that level
>>
>>738170569
yes? Once you know what to do early on its an AFK game like cookie clicker. I was barely looking at the screen until leveling

just download a gacha/roblox game and fry your braincels if you want more of that and leave people with taste alone brocoli head
>>
>>738170637
>once you piece together the optimal strategy the game is easy!
wow... just like dark souls. what's your point?
>>
>>738170736
did you just ignore the fact I said it was a literal AFK game? Also dark souls has enemies and bosses that surprise you with new attack patterns that you have to learn. Vampire is an afk game where you pick the same few things everytime you start a game. It is as braindead as a roblox brainrot game. Please leave the website and play roblox brainrot where you belong brocoli head

Alright feeling very /r/OutOfTheLoop over here. Why is RetroArch bad?
>>
>>738172223
it isnt but its le bad because "i want to"
the only thing the emulators that are in it have it better is recent updates, because obviously takes time for the retroarch port. but of course most games play just as fine, and some will have even a net multiplayer apparently
even the steam version that takes longer to get updates and has some few inconveniences is nice because you get to use the steam cloud
also there is a lot of emulation "drama", but who cares really
>>
>>738166193
Name one standalone emulator that has hard GPU sync and run-ahead low latency options. Just ONE (1)
>>
>>738166193
Retroarch is hands down the best way to emulate everything from the atari up to the dreamcast as well as a couple of other systems like the DS.
No standalones match its features or its customisation ability, particularly:
-hard GPU Sync,
-Run Ahead,
-the ability to undo save/load states,
-full control of aspect ratio and underscan cropping,
-Dynamic Rate Control,
-Stackable shaders that are automatically matched to your screen resolution,
-per game/core configurations.....
-low pass audio filtering
-and dozens more.

>>738172538
made by transphobic chuds
that's it
>>
>>738175860
I don't care about any of those features. I want to bind the controls to something sensible and then play games, not endlessly tweak settings in search of some theoretical optimal experience. Standalones and stuff like mednafen are much better for doing the former.
>>
>>738176631
>I don't care about any of those features
Well then, dogs eat dog food.
>>
>>738176631
Just because you CAN tweak features doesn't mean you're forced to. RA is the most "it just werks" shit there is. It automatically binds controls for you while most standalone emulators you have to do it yourself.
I honestly can't fathom what level of mongoloid retardation you have to be living with to think RA is too complicated.
>>
>>738175369
I can't
>>
>>738169958
>Adventure of Link is a better game than Elden Ring?
Yes
>>
>>738175369
>run-ahead low latency options
LOL, LMAO even. You should consider suicide.
>>
>>738177170

I say this as someone who exclusively uses Retroarch when software emulating, Retroarch is the opposite of 'it just werks'.

Because you are supposed to emulate old PC instead.
>>
>>738166193
Look man I just want to stream my PC to my TV and play old games. Retroarch lets me do that for everything up to the PS1 era and that's good enough for me.
If more emus had a big picture mode like PCSX2 I'd use them instead
