I just turned my Raspberry Pi into an all-in-one emulation machine.

Is there any reason to keep my old consoles now?

No, sell them quickly.

>and for a low price, nobody wants to pay much for old shit.

sentimental value
dodgy emulation after 16-bit

Do people really get sentimental about video games?

They're just entertainment/a hobby.

If you have a Saturn or N64, sure. Good luck emulating those accurately on a Pi.

if you play a game on your console and then in your emulation box and doesn't notice a single difference, then yeah make some dough

I do over the games I had as a kid.
The ones I bought recently I could sell no problem.

Sorry, I should have made this clear in my original post.

I just have 8-bit and 16-bit machines.

Debatable, snes sound emulation can be a bit shitty, genesis seems mostly okay. Emulators never feel right to me, though.

For the games you had as a kid, yes. I wouldn't give a fuck about any old random console though and certainly not more than one or two.

Then no. Sell them and use the space for something more important, or enjoy the minimalism.

It's not about the games, it's about the chilhood memories associated with them.

what's your set-up?

I have a Pi running Kodi at the moment but I'm thinking about having it do games as well.

Was running EmulationStation briefly in the past.
