I started to lean back toward original hardware. Got a good CRT broke out the og consoles and......after hours of realizing its a pain to adjust the yoke to a CRT, and after all the messing around, and hooking up a sea of wires to an av switcher, using component cables for my ps2, and trying to play original hardware, i realized my powerhouse pc can emulate any game at anytime and it looks amazing. So now Im torn again. Asking myself why did I set up all this stuff? I dont know anymore lol
Im looking at upscalers to have my whole collection working and the common response is "just emulate". And you said what ive been thinking. I bought the dang things. I wanna play them.
That's exactly it! There's nothing wrong with going either way and there's positives and negatives to each side. If you've spent the money on buying and maintaining a physical console then you should enjoy it!
@tunnotron3000 I mean with homebrewing I can dump my physical collection and play on emulators 'legally', so technically I can have a clear conscience.
Saturn emu still needs alot of work and 64 emulation needs much to be desired but most games play decently and with the games being abled to be recompiled on PC we may not longer need emulation for N64 just have every game a PC native or Linux/android port
I'm lucky enough that I'm not super sensitive to input lag but I agree there's something special about holding the original controller in your hands. It was amazing to be able to beat my original Dynamite Headdy cartridge!
Retro500 give or take 10%, its a joke man it was 646! Also cracking video a regular debate I hear but one I have little interest in joining in and getting butchered for, whilst the nostalgia of the OG console cannot be matched without emulation there would be too many I simply couldnt play
Thank you for this topic. I feel that sometimes, whatever you prefer is what you choose if it fits you.

I luv emulation have 12tb of Roms but that feel of og hardware and crt tv with zero input latency can never be out done
