There is nothing wrong with choosing to play a worse port of something just because you want to.

Yes, there is.

I don't care

Eh, it has its pros too, like no loading times.
Textures are smallee but in turn they are stable and don't flutter all the time, plus if you play on a CRT, the smaller textures on N64 become more defined, still blurrier and less detailed than PS1, but again in turn you gain stability and more definition (in the sense that textures will stay the same and form a more cohesive image).
It also allows for more save files than on PS1, which allows 1 per memory card, on MM64 you can save up to 15 slots and on the cart's internal memory. This is cool to leave saves before a boss fight or unique sections you want to replay later.
The PS1 is the original and still the one with the overall better framerate and distance rendering, mainly because the n64 port wasn't well optimized, it wasn't a great effort from Capcom, the port should have been better, but all in all it's still largely the same game and besides being overall inferior, there are some good things in it that make it worth playing, at least as a replay if you like the game, after playing the original.
There's also the PC port but that one has fucked up audio and video sync on cutscenes

There is nothing wrong if it's a game you like and you want to play several versions autisticly checking out differences

When it becomes wrong is when the shit port is all you've played and you start screaming on everything roof how it's the bestest version and everyone should play that one version and then the retardation becomes contagious. N64 fanboys did this with Resident Evil 2. Tons of people still do this with handheld ports of console RPGs. Yes, it's me, hi!

What if you want to do so because you're a masochist? Masochism is the only reason I can see anybody playing through The Lion King on NES.

>When it becomes wrong is some strawman I made up when people used to just be happy with the version they had access too and saw past its flaws
Plenty of people grew up appreciating sub par ports. This type of elitism used to be reserved for spoiled snobs who owned every single system, now its just autists who are weirdly elitist. Someone liking the GBA version of Breath of Fire isn't going to make your tendies disappear.

Again I have to repeat myself, I don't give a shit if you have nostalgia for the shit version, all the more power to you. Just don't go scream on every roof that it's the best version everyone should play when it's the only version you played.

This specifically happens a lot with handheld ports because that's how a lot of younger retards first discovered the games, years after the fact.

N64 toddlers moved past the denial stage, at least.

Here is a little experiment for you. Wait a few days until this thread is gone and forgotten and then try making a thread asking which version of Dragon Quest 3 to play (for the first time) and see how many tell you to play the GBC version.

This shit came out after MML2 and Majora's Mask. It had no reason to exist.

>Just don't go scream on every roof that it's the best version everyone should play when it's the only version you played.

The shoe is on the other foot, fag. When you mention that you started the N64 version of Mega Man Legends and people show up to ask what the fuck you're doing with your life when you could be playing the PS1 version.

I know the PS1 version exists, fuck off, I'm playing it this way.

There’s nothing wrong with not making shit threads.

Where's the fun in that?

I downloaded the PAL version of Fatal Frame in case my niece wanted to play it with me, since she doesn't speak or read English. She wasn't interested, so I ended up playing Project Zero in English because I thought the English actor would be better that the Spanish ones. On top of that, it's the PS2 version and I'm emulating it in PCXS2.

How does your suit not go instantly black from that?
