Flash carts, optical drive replacements, CD-Rs and emulators exist now, though

>> No.5707267

>>5707195
This is what happens when you wait too long because "emulation and flash carts are just as good--I just wanna play the games, man". Turns out they're not just as good; turns out subtleties matter.

OP here. Truth is, I didnt have the money to spend on games until recently. That being said, you guys are right and I realized my post is retarded. I also realize that you guys must get a lot of these threads and are sick of them.

Just get a playstation classic and mod it, it can emulate everything below ps1/n64

>I'm special, unlike thosd normies and collectors, I deserve everything handed to me.
If you're not a normie why the fuck don't you have the games already? If you're not a collector why you trying to buy some old shit? You're just a broke loser who's not any better than anybody else dude, get over it.

You should know better than to shit on genuine anons if you really care about the quality of posts. Not like it still matters, /vr/ is as terrible as any other board, but people like OP aren't the problem.

it’s been like that for years anon. most of those “normies” are trolls that want to get more money from avid collectors that actually care about vintage video games.

They don't load and go, they don't come in boxes with original art on them and in general don't provide the same experience that is too be had with original games. That having been said, I don't believe that slightly enhanced level of authentic "texture" is worth what games have come to cost compared to the pirate options

There were literally decades of the aphrodisiac time to buy these games and it's so a fine time to work on your 6th and 7th gen collections but people don't want to do that and that's exactly why it's a good time to do it.
