Why do you hate /vr/ emulators? Why would you pay $100 just to play snes 20 games? then go through the trouble of buying RBY to HDMI, extra hardware for hacking, etc and other junk to tangle around?

Would rather play a game than simulate playing it, simple as

don't know why they pretend there's any value in franchises like the intellivision and colecovision

nobody has nostalgia for them, people barely have nostalgia for the atari

Letting a composer design a video game console is sort of like letting a drummer lead the band, yeah?

Only buy an emulator box if you plan on adding your own games to it: SNES/PS Mini.

>>7256834
you have to be a literal baby boomer to give a fuck about the Intellivision or Colecovision. The only people I knew who had either one was the Coleco for the Atari add-on.

what's really shit is that the emulator consoles are so many, it's hard to choose and they are often shitty while overpriced

I mean, not like I care. My PS Classic is something convenient to take to my friends' places for game nights. My original consoles stay at home for when they come over.

I don't have the energy for parties anymore. My friends and I are mostly married and in our mid-30s. We usually get together, 3 or 4 guys at a time with some beer, play video games, watch b-movies and talk about the good old days.

Androids are better than this.

The ads only get you if you're some faggot connected to the Internet. The emulators are fine.

You can have that hide when you connect a controller and have it mapped and all.

They're the lowest common denominator, friend.
