I started buying game consoles that I have had a pain in my ass emulating. Saturn, Original Xbox, N64, and Nintendo Wii specifically.

I know the image quality isnt the same as a emulator, but the experience is so much better. I am starting to think owning these consoles is just a better move!

Anyone else?
>>
huh.
Saturn and GC/Wii emulation are solved sciences.
>>
>>12092735
No. Medafan is not a solved science for Saturn. Gamecube is not 100 percent. Multiple games have scaling issues. Maybe if you stay nintendo first, sure.
>>
>>12092742
>Medafan is not a solved science for Saturn
Proof?
>Gamecube is not 100 percent
I'm looking through the compatibility list and the only games with extant issues are total shovelware like Charlie's Angels.
>Multiple games have scaling issues
Then play at the original resolution, as you will inevitably do when using original hardware.
>>
>>12092742
dolphin is one of the most meticulous emulators, I can't think of any gamecube games that have issues other than upscaling glitches at high resolutions
>>
>>12092742
>dolphin has issues if scaling
>so i'm going to use a real gamecube, which has no scaling at all
>>

>I am starting to think owning these consoles is just a better move!
Correct. I hate emufags.
>>
>>12092758
how about you boot up medafen and figure that out for yourself? The emulator is not 100 percent.
>>
>>12092820
>how about you boot up medafen and figure that out for yourself?
You're the one making the claim; the burden of proof is on you.
>>
>>12092735
This is what emubabies actually believe
>>12092758
>lie
>prove me wrong
Why are children like this?
>>
did sega system threads get filtered by jannies? OP has been spamming pepe threads out of frustration for like a week now.
>>
>>12093272
A lie? It's well known that Saturn emulation has been solved. The burden of proving otherwise rests on the person attempting to claim Radiant Silvergun has emulation issues today.
>>
playing on actual consoles is far better imo. it just feels better, playing on a PC feels cheap and uncomfortable. though i don't have enough space to get as many as i want. i use my dsi for NDS, atari and NES games, 3ds for 3DS, SNES and all gameboys, and i bought a wii yesterday that i'll use for wii, gamecube and n64 games. using my phone for NDS games that i want to play without the console (so i dont have to load up my dsi at work), but i don't like it as much. wish i had the space for all these consoles instead of emulating them on other old consoles, but oh well.

Is it still prohibited to discuss the dreamcast game about brothers?
>>
>>12094061
People who discussed the game in earnest were fine, but there's not much to say about it.

Lmao

Jesus Christ Anon, it's not 2008 anymore. Nobody thinks about Yabause in 2025.
>>
>>12093402
Everdrives and multicarts in general solves this problem

>Jesus Christ Anon, it's not the year my parents met anymore.
What a shame. If only it were and someone could warn them about making that terrible mistake that became (You)
>>
>>12092709
>Nintendo Wii
Not retro.
>>
>>12095452
But is it?
>Impressive home brew scene and freeewares
>Unprecedented officially emulated re-releases not seen before or since

The Wii had fully downloadable and ownable games for:
>NES
>SMS
>PCE/TG16
>Genesis
>SNES
>N64
>C64
>Neo Geo
>Arcade

So access to rare, impractical and expensive games/platforms and it had tons of them, including never before released localizations. Technically not a retro console but incredible official and unofficial retro support, consoles are cheap with over 120 million sold.
>>
>>12095565
also its the last console to lack any hd support. if the ps2 and xbox count as retro, no reason why the wii shouldn't
>>
>>12095452
Anything over 20 years old is retro.
>>
>>12092709
Saturn emulators are dogshit due to low interest, N64 due to retardation of everyone investing time in a baby console. The other two are just too current, for those get actual h/w instead.
>>
>>12095565
>>12095590
nobody is denying how well it works for retro content, but it also saw the beginning of paid DLC. instant disqualification in my opinion

>Saturn emulators are dogshit due to low interest
IT'S NOT 2008 ANYMORE. YABAUSE IS OLD NEWS. SSF IS OLD NEWS. BEETLE SATURN JUST FUCKING WORKS.

whining about rule technicalities is extremely jewish
why do you support a jewish system?

>MiSTer and FPGA are not 2001 and older. You can't discuss them here
>You can't discuss modern re-releases and ways to play retro
I'm just making a point about the Wii as a platform for retro, not actual mainline Wii games.
