/vr/ - Retro Games

>>4905170

Ive had a lot of first and secondhand experience with depression, and I can tell you that things are never as bad as they seem. Therapy and medication are top priorities on the road to recovery, but theres online resources as well that can help >https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/

hang in there doomanon, it gets better

The advantages are:

- Cheap, like really fucking cheap, less than $50/€50 is the norm
- Buttons, DPAD and screen are excellent if you find it in decent condition
- Can actually emulate most PSX titles perfectly, L2 and R2 remapped to analog though
- Megadrive and SEGA CD emulation, Popful Mail and Snatcher work great last time I played them
- GBA Emulation is 99% good
- Nes and GB/GBC are fine

Cons

- It's not as good as lot of stuff released in more recent times
- SNES emulation is dodgy, as others said there problems even in the most widely supported games like Super Mario World or Super Metroid, personally I have had problems in Megaman X and Castlevania IV too
- No N64 emulation, the one that exists is shit but what can you do with no documentation and shitty hardware to begin with?
- Original titles are hit and miss, some very good remakes like Castlevania Dracula X and Ultimate Ghosts and Goblin, some other good games but they're not retro so I won't mention them
