One of my favorite games is from the Sega Dreamcast good luck trying to get the console keep it working and play games on it I emulating that game it is called toy Commander and it has never been released since
Emulation is the treasure vault of video games. If not for that, many games would fall into complete oblivion. But of course, for that guy we are dirty pirates, casuals, greedy people. He can't really see past his ignorance and convictions. What a shame.
He literally said he would emulate some Saturn games he doesn't own, but wouldn't emulate other consoles. Kinda like everyone else who emulates. Yeah I'm only going to emulate games I want to play, and not games I don't want to play. Imagine that.
My biggest counter to this is that you need, like, 20 different consoles to play everything you want to play in their original forms. I _despise_ how you have to own _so many_ consoles to legally play a lot of these games.
This dudes crazy. I've been gaming since the Atari 2600. I've never started an older game on one of my flat screens and thought. Damn, I sure wish I had a crt tv to play on, the screen size and resolution is too much. Also good luck finding an Atari 2600, Intellivision, or Colecovision, that works well. Also his car analogy is dumb. A lambo cost more than most people could ever afford back then, but almost anyone could afford a Fiero.
I agree. He never experienced those old CRT TVs and game consoles when they were new, as you and I did. I no longer own any CRT TVs or monitors and I'm fine with that. My old 3DO console needs a laser assembly. I don't know if I'm going to bother to replace it. However, if I want, I can simply use the 4DO emulator on my PC and play all of my original 3DO game disks with no problems. I even have multiple different PC game controllers to choose from.
Yo thanks to emulation I got to play the terrible pirates of the Caribbean ps2 game I never beat as a kid, ultimate alliance 1&2, as well as Budokai Tenkaichi 3 the best dbz game I never got to play as a kid. When I showed my dad he had me download a bunch of games not on his mini snes it was fun playing co-op games together. And this was just all on my MacBook, emulation has kinda pushed me towards pc gaming
If you were to sit this man in front of two CRTs, one of them displaying original hardware and the other emulation, he wouldn't be able to tell the fucking difference. I guarantee it. Unless the real hardware performs _worse_ than the emulation, but some emulators are capable of replicating even that.
Sitting on your chair infront of the PC: nono "Once you are sitting right infront of it, your eyes adjust and it's great": yesyes. The dude is suffering from serious nostalgia goggles. One thing that I will give him is that some old games look better on a crt, because their pixel graphics were made with the blur of the crt in mind, although I am sure that can be emulated too.
He's just a Elitist gatekeeper in the Comments He doubled down on his BS and started calling people who use Emulators to play older games thieves and pirates just because we don't want to pay the ridiculous out of control prices people are asking for older games some of which are not even rare also I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be one of those people who buy older games for cheep and then flips them online on Ebay for hundreds of dollars it would explain why he's calling us thieves.
I'm 40. I grew up with the NES, SNES, PS, GC, and so forth. And I disagree with practically every word that came out of his mouth. My wife and I play emulated games from our childhood together on my pc with hdmi routed to the 4k TV in our bedroom. The only time I ever considered getting an old crt was for my Sega Saturn. And once I got a SCART compatible pixel upscaler for it, that was the end of that.
at 5:43 he says the games been robbed of it's experience since it's not on a CRT but there are actually ways to get a pretty accurate CRT filter on a lot of emulators not least of which is retroarch which has like 100 options for filters including pretty damn accurate CRT emulation.
Holy Hell this guy fell of the bus somewhere, I grew up on the old N64, Famicom and Gameboy that looks like a brick, and there is NOW WAY I wish to go back to those older tech, first they are near to impossible to find, if you do try getting some place to repair them if something goes wrong. Emulation has made things SO much easier, but this "dooskop" is just on another level... Great video by the way, thanks for giving me a laugh today.
I just can't grasp how can you call greedy those people who are not willing to purchase a hardware and games that *were discontinued* and *not available at stores* anyways? If my single purpose is to play older games, should I bother giving money to a third party to get a worse option? Neither devs nor the platform would profit from it, but some dude with a rare piece of hardware or cartridge could get filthy rich instead, that's if those even ever made it to a particular region.
One of my favorite things to do is play Pokemon ROM mods and if this nimrod thinks I'm gonna give that up because "oh my god hardware" then he can piss off with that.
I'm playing Ocarina of Time on a GameCube controller connected to my PCusing an emulator because I can upscale to 1440p which I play on my 27" monitor... I have the physical game and an N64, but this makes me happier.
@@terminatortv8109 And the higher resolution textures and nicer models, but hey. OoT just got decompiled, so it won't be much longer into the original game looks nicer than the 3DS version.
6:15 Plus PC has a LOT of options of how you can customize your look for these games, along with a good selection of software to emulate that look. I prefer Shader Glass, since I pull off a lot of choices, from Windows 95 esque monitor look, Home CRTs, or even full on arcade ports from the 90s for my MAME games. It also looks great for a good selection of modern games, and makes 16 bit games look like a gem.
Also something about emulation that I love is you can play a lot of these games online with friends either through parsec or through online communities built upon these emulators. You can play every Monster Hunter game online with people on PC and it's amazing. There's no other way to experience a lot of those games online since capcom shut down a lot of the servers. Some of those games have content that was locked behind the online hubs and with emulation that content is now accessible again.
15:41 A MiSTer is an open source FPGA machine that mimics original hardware, running games natively on it. N64 and DS cores are in development, which is absolutely _mind-blowing_ for FPGA.
He can stay on his plastic boxes that today all of them would cost more than a newly built PC along with all of the peripherals he has to buy to play them all on his old tv. I'll gladly stay on PC where I have much more options than he does.
Emulation is where it's at today, because If the Retro Consoles stopped working guess what, you can't able to get them again because 1 they are obsolete, 2 they are very expensive nowadays.
That dude also trash talked people who use the MiSTer FPGA system to play retro games and those that disagree with him get insulted by him in the comments. He loves to call others "elitists" yet he's the embodiment of one.
As someone who owns a PVM, which is an insanely high end CRT, there is absolutely _nothing_ with emulating games. Also, there _IS_ equipment that allows you to emulate on a CRT. Oh, and CRT PC monitors exist.
Once I've played a game I never touch it again. I don't have nostalgia for anything especially crt tvs. For some reason I don't miss my 1st TV a 12" black and white in the 60's. I'll stick with my LG G3 77 as my preferred monitor
We're casuals or maybe well call me crazy, call me a conspiracies teller, maybe people emulates game because they want to play a game that brought them nostalgia but it's Lost from time and it's hard as balls to find a physical copy of set game and don't get me started with the hardware which is even more difficult.
Im pretty sure anyone who hates on emulation really is just concerned with a company getting money over the end users experience lol. Purist is one thing but i think people like this are just snobs who wanna hate on the beauty of PC
Like I never played on an original N64 controller, but I played the original Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask on the Wiis virtual console using a classic controller pro. That's how I grew up playing those games and it feels to me like the definitive version to play it. But that's just a nostalgia talking. I wouldn't mind loading up majoras mask 3D on my Steam deck with project Restoration and a HD texture pack and a shitload of mods either. Majority of my games are emulated and I'm likely going to keep it that way
3:54 Sam raimi spider-man 1 ? Tmnt 2003? MAH MAN YOU ARE FUCKING AWESOME I played the shit out of these games when I was a kid I still play them both to this day on the pc emulator for android box64droid I get 120fps in spider-man 1 and 60 locked fps in tmnt at 720p Which looks good on a phone screen I also play them on pc using dolphin And yes thank you for speaking out about this Tmnt 2003 is an underrated banger My childhood game Used to play it for 10 hours everyday when I was a kid I remember fully finishing it Loved every moment of it It was a HUGE part of my childhood❤️
not paying 300$ for a game cartridge of a rare game that I like on an old system that I don't own and won't work if I got since it's over 25 years old . best to just emulate it because who in the hell has 300$ for a game
Some of these retro gaming elitists are just poor shaming. Like why the hell would i buy a abandonware game for $500 from a third party that isnt the original developers when i cam emulate for free? I think some od these elitists have a few games for hundreds of dollars on ebay and are pissed we out here emulating instead of paying for their overpriced shit.
I loved that TMNT game. I beat it multiple times back in the day on my PS2 and then with my at the time gf on her GameCube. It was a great time. The 3rd one in that series is pretty cool too. It's the first game on console with all 4 turtles on screen at the same time.
Oh, yeah, because I'm totallly gonna drop fucking 200 dollars to play Fire Emblem or buy an entire PS1 to play the handful of PS1 games I'm interested in, I'm very greedy for not wanting to spend too much on something...
I'm playing Ocarina of Time using a GameCube controller using an emulator because I can upscale to 1440p which I play on my 27" monitor... I have the physical game and an N64, but this makes me happier.
laughs in retrobat but seriously if these older consoles and games were still around ill get them. providing that i can afford it i love emulators. retrobat and retroarch are my faves
no, i mean, the guy got one point right, that since the CRT is not flat, its a little bit more immersive in SOME games... but most of the time, you can have better experience using an emulator in an IPS or OLED monitor...
Okay, I wasn't gonna comment, this is a 5 month old video... But holy fuck the man's completely out of his mind. To preface, playing Gamecube games on the Wii isn't emulation, the Wii has genuine Gamecube hardware in it. In fact, the Wii is just a more powerful Gamecube actually. I could play my gamecube games on the Wii on my TV. But modern displays showcases how bad older resolutions are. On a CRT, it's not bad because CRTs aren't accurate or pixel dense enough, so they mask much of the jank. But on newer hardware, hoo boy. I'd rather play emulated PS2 games. I'd rather play emulated PS1 games. those older systems were designed for an age of low pixel counts and low fidelity. CRTs excel in one thing, pixel response time. A CRT is fast as hell, even surpassing OLED displays. It's the reason Duck Hunt doesn't work on emulators as well, because LCDs aren't fast enough. Edit: And while I might not be old enough to be a child when most retro consoles were out. I did experience up to the PS3 in CRT. Hell, my first console was the NES... on CRTs. I'm not missing the CRT days.
I've tried to get emulation going on my newly purchased steam deck, and it's been a hassle 😩 I do think sometimes it's easier to play on console, but I want to learn, but it's just incredibly harder than it needs to be
I collect physical games, I'm trying to get every Dreamcast game. Anyway, emulation is better, you can play old games online via FightCade, jack up the res to 4K, to say nothing of the ROMhacks and shit.
I’m an old head. I still have my childhood Genesis. I emulate stuff like arcade games and shit that just isn’t really available. I don’t see the point of buying a super grafx to play like 3 games.
how cant you take him for real when he has like 5 games behind him lol i got more games sitting behind my tv lol and i still use emulators and i got thousands of games lol
Funny I use rmulate PSone and PS2 games to my PC. I use Orginal Ps1/PS2/PS3 Disc in PC-BluRay drive. I still have my PS2 and PS3. Still I use my PC to emulate those Orginal Disc games....
The dumb part of the video was him comparing cars to video games video game consoles.... Fanboys are showing us their intelligence is decreasing steadily every day
Well here's a even more elitist console hottake for you: I find old fast paced 2d platformers like the mega man x games almost unplayable with a controller. The first time I played those titles, I played the PC ports using a keyboard and that was perfect for such hard games that demand precise and quick control. With a keyboard you are free to allocate almost all of your fingers to each one of the games' many buttons. While with the default controller layout you have to press jump, dash, x buster and special weapon with a single thumb. What can I say? I'm a PC master race at heart.
I think the review of the video is a little off, I think he's talking about people who are unwilling to pay for games or hardware and use emulation to get around that. I don't think he's talking about anything released by owners of the IP
i personally laugh at people who pay for something you can get for free online with regards to video games cause lets face it why on earth would you pay for something someone else gets for free somewhere with regards to software etc the dudes opinion and all others who share it holds no sway in whether you should emulate or not and it shouldnt and if ppl let it affect their decision ill laugh at them too emulation is the only reason i ever played retro games heck its the reason i play modern games that and sailing the high seas and its not because of a lack of money its because of all the things i could spend my hard earned cash on food, water, a roof over my head, f@cking pixels on a screen seems like a waste much rather do what jack sparrow does
This guy seems more like hes worried about his collection becoming devalued more than anything else.
Bingo
Do people forget that the amount of retro consoles in the world is shrinking as the years go by?
These boomers are gonna be sad soon when their electronics that are 7 decades old die, like literally every other electronics.

I’m an old head. I still have my childhood Genesis. I emulate stuff like arcade games and shit that just isn’t really available. I don’t see the point of buying a super grafx to play like 3 games.
I'm excited about the new Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi game!
how cant you take him for real when he has like 5 games behind him lol i got more games sitting behind my tv lol and i still use emulators and i got thousands of games lol
Funny I use rmulate PSone and PS2 games to my PC. I use Orginal Ps1/PS2/PS3 Disc in PC-BluRay drive. I still have my PS2 and PS3. Still I use my PC to emulate those Orginal Disc games....
and the ps2 version of RE4 looks like dog shit even if they added all the new weapons
The dumb part of the video was him comparing cars to video games video game consoles.... Fanboys are showing us their intelligence is decreasing steadily every day
Do you know what a boomer is?
Well here's a even more elitist console hottake for you: I find old fast paced 2d platformers like the mega man x games almost unplayable with a controller.
The first time I played those titles, I played the PC ports using a keyboard and that was perfect for such hard games that demand precise and quick control. With a keyboard you are free to allocate almost all of your fingers to each one of the games' many buttons. While with the default controller layout you have to press jump, dash, x buster and special weapon with a single thumb.
What can I say? I'm a PC master race at heart.
Honestly?
I don't blame you bro, keyboard is GODLY for precise 2D games.
It's also really good for fighting games too.
I think the review of the video is a little off, I think he's talking about people who are unwilling to pay for games or hardware and use emulation to get around that. I don't think he's talking about anything released by owners of the IP
When companies no longer release older games and stuff online is way too damn expensive then emulation makes far more sense.
also CRTs suck. I hated playing on them even when I was a kid.
Even when he played the games on his CRT it looked like shit lol
Sworry, buut Canadianese makes me laugh
Also please I hope this guy is a troll chanel. Because there's no way in god's green earth people really has a mentality like this.
Genuine Question
He does have a brain , right? Right?
I'm pretty sure that his comment page is disabled so yeah who's soft again?
Wow this guy is hard to listen to especially the part with Pontiac..?
i personally laugh at people who pay for something you can get for free online with regards to video games
cause lets face it why on earth would you pay for something someone else gets for free somewhere
with regards to software etc
the dudes opinion and all others who share it holds no sway in whether you should emulate or not and it shouldnt and if ppl let it affect their decision
ill laugh at them too
emulation is the only reason i ever played retro games
heck its the reason i play modern games that and sailing the high seas
and its not because of a lack of money its because of all the things i could spend my hard earned cash on
food, water, a roof over my head, f@cking pixels on a screen seems like a waste much rather do what jack sparrow does
So buying newer games is bad?
Emulation is fine but not buying new software is dumb!
