/vr/ - Retro Games

Wait, are the controllers wireless?

>>4291232
I know. It's super annoying how people super need a Super Nintendo in their super life. They Super need to find something super better to do.

It's worse than that. They are buying an emulator box with limited functionality. But hey a fool and his money are easily parted.

>>4291236
No.

>>4291232
can anyone comment on input lag with this thing? How accurate is the emulation?

>>4291241
Then how does it.. OH FUCK KILL IT

>>4291232
Are you going to send 2 SNES shaped controllers my way? Are you going to have enough to send to the rest of us?

>>4291264
Keyboard son. Ever heard of it?

>>4291247
Let's say the emulator is slightly better than ZSNES. Not on par with higan by any means. Slightly inferior to current Snes9x.

In regards to input lag, it's what you'd expect from an emubox famiclone, ie unspottable by normies but evident to 1cc speedrunning autists. If input lag is a concern you'd do much better with original software or a homemade emubox with retroarch on linux/lakka.

Can't emulate. There's already been more than enough people stealing from game companies since they've been making 'em. If that's what you wanna do, I won't stop you or berate you, but relax.

>>4291268
>Slightly inferior to current Snes9x
really? how so?

>unspottable by normies but evident to 1cc speedrunning autists
this might actually mean that I won't be able to notice it, as I've never really noticed emulation lag; I didn't even know it was a thing until I started reading about it here

>>4291272
Sound emulation in current Snes9x is slightly better, otherwise I'd say they're on par.

If you aren't a 1cc speedrunning autist you definitely won't notice input lag on the snes classic (or probably anywhere else for that matter). It IS a real thing but it takes effort or extraordinary circumstances to constantly notice it's there.

>>4291267
Why the fuck would I choose to play SNES games with a fucking keyboard over a controller?

If you had a job and could pay for things you'd feel different. There is something better about having the real physical product there.

Basically.. get a job you fucking loser lol.

Have fun trying to lord over other people your emulators on PC playing with your keyboard. Fact of the matter is there is more social cache to walk around being big dick swinging with an SNES Classic (especially if you have a little knowledge and will be the one to have a jail broken one) than trying to be a bitter emulator fag who wants to bitch about how other people spend money. I'm going to take it to my girl's house this weekend, gonna play Kirby's Dream Course and get my dick sucked. Shit will be so cash.

>>4291269
Downloading a digital file from the Internet can't be considered stealing by anyone with a healthy mind. You are buying into corporare propaganda.

>>4291287
Go back to 1991. Or better yet play one on a virtual console. Also PC is master gaming everyone knows that.

>>4291324
Autism is a hell of a disorder

>>4291232
Right OP. You man children need to chill with the camping outside Targets and Toys R Us.

You don't own a phone from 1991. You don't own a car from 1991. You don't use a PC created in 1991. You don't own a TV from 1991. You don't date a girl born in 1991. So why own a console from then?

>>4291338
I mean buy not own.

>>4291332


Makes 4chan a fun place to troll though.

i did the rom/emulator thing for a while. for whatever reason i feel like it was just a mess having all of these folders and files for the emulators and roms, pretty much all of the games i would want are in this mini snes, the only game missing for me is smb3 but that's okay.

luckily i was able to put an order in at thinkgeek almost 2 hours ago, i wasn't going to bother with the line waiting.

Emulating made me not want to play any games.

>>4291398
i just remembered smb3 was on the nes classic as it was originally an nes title. i was used to the updated version from mario all stars

>>4291252
>fake controller ports
Shit I didn't realise this, that makes me mad.

>>4291309
But then why would you not just buy the real thing?

>>4291338
I don't know about you but dating a girl from 1991, owning a CRT from 1991 with high enough quality to use for older media players and video game consoles and owning a car from 1991 that still drives mighty fine don't sound that bad or ancient. Especially not for people who are the target demographic for /vr/ nowadays.
Now, owning a phone or a computer from 1991, that's a whole different matter unless you refuse to update your simcard or don't use the internet but in that case you wouldn't be here anyway.

>>4291232
Guess how I know you're bad at video games

>>4291284
cool i definitely have no interest in 1cc speedrunning.

slightly disturbed about what you claim to be inferior sound emulation though. Any specific examples?

Does it look sharper than a 1chip snes?

>"Stop liking things I don't like!"
Well, at least it's not /mu/...

>>4291232
I don't follow your logic here. You're obviously emotionally invested enough in this device to follow how much demand there is and post about it. Why is another interested bandwagoner who happens to have a little more money than you so much worse?

>>4291338
Of course you don't. Why would you own shit from way before you were born.

>>4291328
um, not giving creators money and still getting what you want is the very definition of stealing. If you made something to be sold and I just took it, you'd have the cops on my ass so fast. Sonic speed fast.

>>4291232
yer yer
everyone that buys this is retarded, there is a scratch on your record OP.
calling people assholes casue they make a decision to buy something with money they earn makes you the asshole ...asshole

Hedonistic society, planned obsolescence

When will this Mini shit end

>You don't own a car from 1991.
You're right, its a 92. But this was made in 91, and i'd like to own that.

>You don't date a girl born in 1991.
Would if i could.

>>4291447
You have made birth certificate? You don't know when I was born

>>4291447
How do you know when I was born? You don't know me

Gamefaqs even hate the news nintentards.

>>4291324
anyone serious enough about having the authentic console experience would be much better off just buying a flashcart instead.

>>4291268
>emubox famiclone
you say this as if those are a thing. Nearly all famiclones are NOACs and not 'emuboxes'; retron5 doesn't count and certainly has worse input lag than Nintendo's minis.

>>4291232
>downloading an emulator

>>4291414
u think his gf has a CRT at her house?
smarten up

I got mine today (well two actually, hello ebay)

I emulate everything anyway and just wanted two good snes controllers. They are a lot cheaper feeling than original snes controllers, thought have not had chance to play yet as still at work.

>>4291561

>i am a consumerist whore who enjoys getting face-raped by every corporation ever. pls fill my mouth with ur mansludge ninty sempai! ;-;

>>4291487
NSX is so beautiful, and it's in one of my favorite /vr/ games.

>waiting in line
Everyone forgot the EB in the mall still exists. People camped at walmart since 5am, sold out before the store even opened since they handed out tickets.

The mall EB opened and I was the 3rd customer and then it sat empty. I was the lone person in store at checkout. They had the wireless controller too.

>>4291786
How's that HORI? I'm thinking about picking one up for the SNES Classic and to use on my hacked Wii as a wireless option.

>>4291831
Feels beter than the controllers that ship woith the SNES, but maybe I like the added weight, I dunno.

They are goign to be hard to get though. EB had only 10 HORI controllers and "lots" of mini SNES.

>>4291838
I don't think they'll be too hard to find online, but I'll check around locally. Thanks for the insight, anon.

>>4291436
I'm guessing "yes"

>>4291848
I take that back, 1-2 month ship times on amazon. Looks like I fucked up.

got mine,

there was a short line when I arrived at Fucking Gamestop this morning.

>>4291987
Was it in a mall? I swear the iGeneration don't even know what a mall is and only go to the big block stores and line up outside.

>>4292015
strip mall, I live in semi-rural Alabama so that probably explains being able to arrive 10 minutes before store opening and walk out with one 10 minutes after.

Everyone went nuts at Walmart but I walked into Gamestop and Target.

Time to scalp.

>>4291232
I refuse to buy one. Even if I did, it's not going to be that version of the SNES.

>>4291252
Wow, what a retarded piece of shit. What the fuck is Nintendo even doing these days. This is why I won't buy any of their new shit anymore

>>4291232

Excuse me, but, may I ask, are you living under a rock by any chance?

>go to walmart

>hey my old saves are still on here 20 years later
So glad they didn't have any now, would have really regretted dropping $80 just to play alttp and yoshi's island on a modern tv. :-)

>>4291549
Man, the gamefaqs polls used to be so great. I remember when they first did a popularity contest, back in 2000 or so when there haven't been a Mortal Kombat game for 3-4 years, and to everyone's surprise, Scorpion made it into the semifinals.

And of course when Bub and Bob, Einstein, and Launchpad from Ducktales dominated the Gamespot popularity contest so badly that they reversed the results so Mario or Link could still win. That was pre-gamergate too, and one of the things that made everyone realize in whose pockets the reviewers are.

WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE EVERYONE FORGOT THE NES MINI WAS MODDABLE AND YOU CAN PUT WHATEVER FUCKING GAMES YOU WANT ON IT AND SO WILL THE SNES MINI BE MODDABLE TOO. FUCK YOU BITCHES.

>>4292224

This is the hanafuda captain speaking. Launching emulation in 3...2...1. Many efforts, tears and countless hours have been put into this jewel. So, please keep this place tidied up and don’t break everything! Cheers, the hanafuda captain.

>>4291232

I really don't see what the big deal is. It's 21 games on a system you can plug into your tv for $80. I'm personally not gonna buy it since I have a computer I use for that but especially if you're nostalgic for the games it seems like a fair price. Not everyone has a computer tower specifically meant for the tv or whatnot. Plus apart from everything else the SNES classic has better games overall than the NES classic. Just let people get it if they want it.

>>4291232
The SNES Classic is one of those things that I'd buy if I had the extra money and if it was a simple as going to the store and picking one up. They're a cute novelty and it's nice to have almost all of my favorite SNES games together in one convenient package.

But I have no idea why people are lining up early for the damn thing, especially considering the fact that the NES mini was just announced to have a restock next year, meaning they will likely do the same thing for the SNES.

So, you bought a snes in 2017, eh. What's the next part of your plan?

>>4292296

Thank you.

>>4292224
problem with that is most people couldn't buy a nes mini

Dude, how does the Hori snes controller feel? I’m really interested in getting one.

>>4291232
It's like a raspi but doesn't look like rats chewed all over it.

>>4292458
fantastic!

>>4292450
Feels good but there are certain games where the orginal gamepad works better.

SMB you spend much of the game holding down the Y button (run) and thne jumping with B. The Y-B pairing of the original gamepad is optimal for this. The Hori gamepad is a "street fighter" layout so Y is above B instead of beside it and this makes it less ergonomic for mario.

For all other games it is outstanding.

>>4291287
Inputs are a lot more defined on a comp so it's easier to wall-jump in Super Metroid.

hands down the most responsive and most comfortable alternative for the SNES. It's way better than the original, it's also programmable.

>>4291232

You can't pre-emptively dismiss any counter-argument by appealing to absurdity. Posting such nonsense makes *you* an example of the very thing you're being critical of.

Whether or not you waste money on an SNES Classic is your prerogative. But anons have a point when they merely note *why* these units a raw deal. No, no one is saying they're better than you because they own a Pi. Anybody can purchase a Pi and dump an emulation OS on it. It's not difficult.

Telling people on /vr that there are ways you can play these old games for free is on par with unironic Doki Doki Panic posting.

>>4291551
Flashcarts can't play Mario RPG, either of the Starfox games, Kirby Super Star, or Yoshi's Island.

>>4292636

Pi boxes aren't free. What are you talking about?

The argument is simply one of "What's the better value?" Something like an SNES Classic limits you to just over a dozen games, and can't be expanded upon without hacking. For less money, you can purchase a Pi and emulate any specific game you want to play, not a predefined list of games determined solely by the manufacturer.

>>4292496
Please tell me that the orange button is a Menu button. If it is I'm going get one after work.

>>4292653
Did you know that you can download something called bsnes or SNES9x and play these and many other games for free on your computer right now? Why spend money on a raspberry pi when you can just do it for free right now?

>>4292663

I was illustrating my point.

>>4292663

Yes, but that has nothing to do with the argument that all started with >>4292458

>>4292458 caricaturized Pi owners, portraying them as smug and superior. >>4292564 defended Pi owners, pointing out that using a Pi is more affordable and allowed for a larger library than an SNES Classic. Then >>4292636 comes out of nowhere and chastises >>4292564 for "telling people on /vr/ that there are ways to play old games for free," even though that's not what >>4292564 said at all.

So this entire reply chain is becoming a retarded strawman argument.

>>4292724
Gotcha, thanks for clarification. It's so rampant that it's hard to pick out the facetious posts.

>>4292178
Wow are you a retard

>>4291232
>buy some games on a virtual console
what if you dont own a nintendo console?

if i bought a nes/snes classic im not buying it form the games im buying it for the hardware retard

>>4292730
The point is that, on /vr at least, most if not all posters understand that the SNES Classic isn't the cheapest way to play these old games nor does the unit have a comprehensive library right off the shelf. We know there are other cheaper/free alternatives out there.

>>4292757
>the SNES Classic isn't the cheapest way to play these old games
Well, if you're only counting legal ways to do it, it definitely is. Nintendo isn't going to sue you for pirating 20 year old games (and they're not even going to do that for pirating their current games) but it's still not technically legal.

Not that any of that matters.

>>4291232

I saw a picture of this yesterday from a different angle and I thought they were just showing that the hatch comes down to reveal that the ports are actually adapters to usb.

But no.. it turns out.. you have to play the system with this hatch down.

Which nintendo should capitalize on. They have a lager market than just people that want to play. They got people that want to play it. People that want to play and buy one extra to keep in box. And people that buy the entire shelf and resell it.

Really? They just out right canceled your order? I mean the have the right to do that since you checked yes to terms. But it really kills the point of preordering.

Did they delay your order or just say "fuck u nerd go out side and find our truck"

/vr/ I have actually spend good time trying to understand these mini/classic versions of NES and SNES and the interest towards them but for the live of me I just don't get it:

First of all who are these targeted for? People who grew up with these systems or kids who have suddenly found an interest towards them after watching e-celebrities like AVGN talking about old NES and SNES games on Youtube? I am part of the former and guess what? I still have my NES, SNES and shitloads of games for both of them after collecting them for over 20 years since I haven't been aware of the law that you were supposed to sell your previous system and games for it when getting a next gen console. If the target demographic is the latter group, don't these retards rather watch people play video games instead of picking up the controller themselves? The point here is that changes are you already have the systems or don't want them to begin with.

But let's say you are someone who grew up with the systems but sold them for whatever reason. Why would you buy one of these instead of buying the original hardware and a flash cart for it? Not to mention things like virtual consoles and emulation being an option?

The only good thing about these systems I can think of on top pf my head is that they plug into modern TVs and should have little to no lag but then you fags tell me that you are only allowed to play /vr/ games via CTR TVs because it's what the developers intended.

Still given that people actually wants these things for reason I don't understand no matter how hard I try actually makes me want to try my hands at scalping as that is the only use for these things I can think of.

>>4294786
They didn't cancel them, instead Amazon took all of their initial stock and is selling them on the treasure trucks. The pre-orders are set to ship out in October.

>>4294827
It's a simple and easy solution for people that don't care to put in much effort.

Not everyone has kept their old systems, and even the ones that have might not even have a TV that can display those old systems without some sort of expensive converter, and who wants to track down an old CRT to ONLY use to play games? Most people don't even know emulation exists either.

tl;dr it's a fun little nostalgia romp for people who don't care to put in the effort to go maximum old school hardcore. The people that still play on original hardware with a flashcart on CRTs and buy Raspberry Pis to load Retroarch on are in the minority.

>>4294827
>But let's say you are someone who grew up with the systems but sold them for whatever reason. Why would you buy one of these instead of buying the original hardware and a flash cart for it? Not to mention things like virtual consoles and emulation being an option?

Because maybe you're married with kids and have less time for gaming and just want something cheap to play a couple of classics when you get a spare moment?

Seriously, stop being an autist.

snes classic is for normies
that's it
just stop being a giant autist

>>4294827
If they released it as cartridge for Switch SNES CLASSIC COLLECTION?
did you understand?

>>4294827
CRTs are big, retroarch is impossible for an iphone user to setup, and virtual console games cost too much and dont have the right controller. As far as official rereleases go it's a great deal.

This whole board is filled with autists. An odd man out here would be a "normie" or whatever.

I'll never stop loving how butthurt /v/ and /vr/ fags get about the SNES Classic.
I have emulators a Retropie and a SNES Classic that I didn't have to stand in line for. Stay mad, nerds.

>>4296381
yeah and i have a 2 chip snes my parents got for me when i was 5

I have almost all the carts for the games anyway.
I'm not going to pay for an emulator box just for Starfox 2, when the ROM has already been dumped so I can just play it on my TV anyway.

I've got most of these carts including earthbound, a good crt, s video cables, a thinkpad that runs bsnes fairly well, a hacked wii, and now a snes classic (and I'm still considering getting a raspi). What an individual does with their money almost never effects someone else so the people on their high horse over a fan service-y little emulator box are truly fucking insufferable. If anything this will probably cause me to thin out my cartridge collection a little bit once I load more games onto it.

I bowed out when Amiibos came out. Last nintendo product was gamecube. Last purchase that put money into their pocket was buying MM new for N64.

>>4296885
Actually it was TP for GCN that was my last purchase of a new game. I was always waiting for them to become good again, but they never topped N64/GCN, and I gave up waiting when I saw the Amiibo wolf link gimmick for the new Zelda.

Cheapest flash card is $55 and doesn't play kirby, yoshi, smrpg, mario kart, star fox or star fox 2. Also a console with two controllers will be about $60 as well so it's still not cheaper even with the missing games

No thank you. I rather stick to real cartridges. Besides it's pointless when you could just as easily buy a Xbox 360 controller & play your emulated games on a PC. You don't even have to touch your consoles, they can just sit on a shelf.

I want the fucking controllers to use them on my wii. Shut the fuck up with the nintendo hate and trying to be a special snowflake.
Not everyone (people around 40 or 30 years old) know how emulation works. There's thousands of people that went straight up to use the cellphone as a computer for all their life. Some people are scalpers, some people are just mothers and fathers wanting to get one for their sons, ssome other people might want to use it as an emulation machine once is hacked, some people are fucking hipsters wanting to have one.
There's millions of reasons to buy this mini console you fucking faggot.

>>4298710
Show proof they work on wii just because they use same ports

>>4298713
Similarly to the predecessor's controllers, the Super NES Classic Edition controllers have connectors that can be inserted into theWii Remote, and be used to play Super NES games on theWiiandWii UVirtual Console.

Mini snes seems to be total crap. Two frames input lag, fucked up sound, 720p window that will produce more input lag when coupled with your lame flat panel tv, and a fucked up crt filter. Nintendo hates us, obviously.

>>4291232

So many Autistic Fags feel moral obligated no to use roms because the feel someone who worked at a software dev company 26 years ago will actually see profit from sales.

This is a fun collectors item. Not an actual console

A lot of young adults have that whole "my kids will like what I grew up with" mindset, and as cringy as it seems, i've seen a lot of cases where that seems to work.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the controllers work with the wii & wii-u?

If so, do they sell the controller separate? I had a 3rd party wii-Snes controller that one of my dickhead nephews drowned in cola.

Thanks anons

>>4301135
>do they sell the controller separate?

They sold the NES Classic controllers separately, and they were even rarer than the systems. The Super NES Classic comes with two to begin with so that they wouldn't get shit on for that part at least.

Worse, it's just a NES Mini with a new plastic shell. Anyway, I got the Japanese model and I love it for how comfy it us even with the short permanently attached controllers.
I don't understand Nintendo anymore. I probably have no hope of getting any of these mini models and I'm capable of world records. I can play some games and I care, but I can't get 'em because I refuse to wait in line for fucking video games since the big N tends to make 8 1/2 of each model

You know what's weird? The NES mini is more powerful than a Wii, but it only plays 8-bit roms? Yes, know it's capable of much more through emulation, but why did Nintendo use so much horsepower to push a baby carriage?

>>4291232

Even better when the retards discover old games are hard and sell it for it to be marked up by some reseller for another retarded hipster to buy.

And the cycle continues.

Just a few days ago, someone dumped the SNES Classic Star Fox 2 rom online, thus eliminating any reason to buy it.

I thought it was pretty cool. Saw one today that my workmate had bought. You just have to treat it like it is: A modern take on a mini SNES, by the original company. It uses their modern nintendo controllers and has HDMI output etc. 21 games built in. Compared to buying an old SNES and all the games (all with a possibility of not working), its a pretty good entry into playing SNES for the common person who is too retarded / doesn't want to emulate.

At least people are talking about retro video games and buying them / showing support. Could be the start of a renaissance for retro shit. Supposedly there is a mini C64 coming out too.

The purist screeching in this thread is quite amusing though, I'll leave you guys to it.

This piece of shit costs 90€.you could literally buy a famicom and an everdrive for that price

>>4301439
It would be nice if Nintendo would make enough for their potential customers. Until then, I'll emulate, although emulating SuperFX games is tricky.

It was either a very good deal from the manufacturer, the worst hardware they could get or both.

>>4301442
And then not play Starfox 1 and 2 or Yoshi's Island

>>4291232
It's really just another case of 'collectors' who are more interested in their collection than they are with actually playing video games. I'm gonna assume that a lot of people who bought this already own the actual console too, they probably waste massive amounts of money every month buying a bunch of overpriced games that they'll play once and stick on the shelf. It's not about logic with these people. If there's a new flashy 'retro' thing to buy, they'll buy it. Even if it's being resold for twice it's initial price on ebay, they'll still do it. This entire board is filled with people like that. Ironically, these will be the very same people who act all haughty and elitist if you mention that you emulate. But hey, THIS emulator is okay because it's an official Nintendo collector's item!

They're not actually gamers and they don't have any real passion for games outside of their little nostalgia bubble that they desperately try to keep intact by just throwing money at it and hoarding collector's items. It's kinda like if you mention retro games to a normie and they say 'oh yeah, I remember playing mario kart on my n64 as a kid, good times!' But they don't really like games, they just like the memory. The kind of autism we see here every day and the kind of autism that can be seen from people who actually waste their money on shite like the SNES mini take that basic principle and crank it up to 11.

It's honestly just fucking sad and I wouldn't even care as much if they weren't so incredibly obnoxious about their bizarre hoarding addiction.

>>4291324
You are my hero

>>4298682
This. Especially the legality. I don't get it how people refuse to realize that some just want to own these games legally.

>>4301675
How fucking stupid do you have to be to think that you're going to actually get in legal trouble for downloading a bunch of 25 year old roms? Also, you do realise the guy you're replying to literally said that he was going to download the rest of the library illegally after it's been hacked (which it has), right? I feel like I'm in a fucking Franz Kafka story, this shit is so absurd.

>>4301706
It's not a matter of not getting into trouble, it's a matter of owning them legally. A matter of principle. As for your second point, as far as I'm aware, it's not illegal to make backup copies of games you already own.

>>4301660
Shit man I just want the controllers and if this thing gets hacked so you can add all SNES games I've definitely getting one.

I do agree with your statement overall though. Very few people venture out to other retro games that aren't part of their memories.

Stop getting legal advice from ROM sites. It's absolutely not legal to make backups unless specifically stated otherwise somewhere in EULA or TOS or what have you.

>>4301765
Straight from his post
>inevitably hack it to have every snes game that matters on it

So I was wrong about downloading the entire library illegally, if that's what you're fussing over. Definitely wanted to hack the thing and illegally download "every snes game that matters" though.

>mfw the mini snes comes with mini snes controller cables

have fun sitting 3 feet away from that 17 inch CRT faggot.

>>4301660
SNES classic owners aren't being obnoxious, jealous faggots like you and OP are the type who write these massive posts just for the sake of demeaning others.

>>4301675
I agree. I own physical copies of games legally. Just cause some poorfag wants to download these games for free & not buy an original cartridge or disc, doesn't make it a bad thing. It just means 1 less person won't drive up the prices to games that could be hard to come by later on.

In fact I'm glad I bought Power Stone 2 for $3 at a thrift store, because that game is now $80 on ebay. I'm glad I bought Batman Forever The Arcade Game for the PS1 at around $11, because that cost about $130 or $150 on ebay.

>>4291232
Does it really matter ? People can keep their emulators and roms on whatever device and other people can go buy their snes classic or raspberry pi, you're still playing the same shit just different ways.

>>4291232
I make money cause I'm a wage cuck. I went to Amazon treasure truck on launch day and got one without any stress. I never intended to get one until the moment i could and even now I've got extra cash. I never played SNES and setting up emulation on my pc is a pain in the ads. I could buy a raspberry pi but knowing I'm triggering faggots on this board just by owning a SNES classic is pretty gr8. I enjoy games

>>4301954
It doesn't plug into CRT monitors you fucking twat, that's the whole point of the device. Also you can just use a longer hdmi cable

I don't which side is more retarded.

I just got one for the controllers, so i can use them with my wii/component/crt setup. Was thinking of just selling the system with some 3rd party controllers or wii classic controllers but ill probably just give it to my nephews

So.... you're saying it's actually making fun of people who think using emulators is rocket science. I didn't really get that from the article bruh

>>4304867
It's making fun of the phenomenon that is people who shill the RPi like it's this thing that no one knows about. Every normalfag on the planet knows about them, but people on this very board and every comment section on the Internet feels the need to tell you about it anyway. That's the point of the article; it's on an 'Onion-esque' website, you're not supposed to think too hard about it.

>>4291247

2 full frames input lag that isnt present in real snes hw, + some more frames upscaling lag if you run this in 1080p or higher

>>4304875
The article writer is complaining about other things other than the Raspberry Pi, like how Difficult it is to find roms or the fact that they have to use a keyboard/usb controllers to play their games. So essentially he's complaining about emulation in general and how difficult it is. Guess that makes you a stupid nigger, huh?
