/vr/ - Retro Games

I wouldn't emulate it because of save states, I'd emulate it because it's just better to emulate in general.

I sometimes emulate games just because I'm a depressed fuck who doesn't even have the power to take my consoles out of the closet and hook them up. Last time I played Zelda 1 was on the Wii just because everything was already set. It's still catching dust near my TV by the way

>>9103935
Replace the battery

Probably didn't hold reset long enough

I never held reset when old games prompted it, I just shut them off and the games always saved

I don't understand how anyone emulates. It automatically takes you out of the experience. Imagine playing these old games with some modern piece of shit xbone controller, reaching over to hit save state constantly. Steam and discord open.
I don't get these insecure boomers who want to convince people they're hip by shilling emulation
I don't emulate shit. The hardware and games are cheap.

You can emulate with the original controllers. Xbox controllers are not shitty.
>reaching over to hit save state constantly
Just don't do that.
>Steam and discord open.
Just don't do that.

This is what circumcision does to a male brain. Tragic. You live in such a strange, sad lie erected out of your consumer desires, which are the only things to ever give your hollow life any happiness or joy.

I literally just load a rom on my PC and full screen it and play with whatever the fuck I want, usually a keyboard. if I really wanted to feel like a gigantic cucked fag I could use an NES controller too. there is nothing wrong with emulating and the SOUL comes entirely from the experience and your surroundings, not the hardware. It's all in your head snd you're mentally ill you faggot manbaby.

>>9103935
Why don't you use the game's native save feature when you're emulating?

>>9104356
I'm younger than you.
>>9104353
Weirdo.
>>9104351
Nah.
Drop the insecurity man. You don't have to be so personally attacked. Going in about soul. So weird.
I grew out of my gaming pc stuff so I sold it and bought an nes and other stuff. It's just more fun for me. I don't think people like me deserve to be dismissed. Nobody shits on emulator guys nearly as hard. To pretend original hardware has nothing of value is just bizarre.

>>9104341
>The hardware and games are cheap
4chan be like we are anti-consoomer and we are too smart and then give money not even to the devs who made the games they enjoy but to fucking basement dwellers from ebay

>>9104360
You're an idiot.

>>9104360
what does your age have to do with you being a retarded cuck?

>>9104361
Why do you talk like that

>>9104365
>>9104367
Why are you being mean to me?

>>9103985
Probably not even necessary. Couple years ago I finally beat my copy of Zelda from a "just before Ganon" save that I had left it at, but never got around to completing in forever. And how long ago was that, you ask? The Zelda breakfast cereal was still being sold, so whenever that year was.

>The hardware and games are cheap.
The hardware for some things is sort of cheap, I guess, but the vast majority of hardware and games are way overpriced right now.

If you can snag a cheap console off ebay then you can save a ton of money by simply buying a flash cart or ODE.

>>9104368
Because I want to. I'm ESL and sometimes it's easier to express my thoughts when I type like a nigger. Come to think of it that's what actual black native speakers do too

>>9104371
>>9104361
Is ebay the only way you guys get games...? So weird. I got an nes with zelda for $10

>>9104378
How?

>>9104378
The goodwill and garage sale hunting isn't fruitful anymore because too many people know that they can scam old people who dont know the value of their games.

>>9104379
>>9104385
It was a few years ago but I just got it at my local town street market. If an nes is really expensive now then I can understand it more. I just don't like the total hatred I see around here for hardware. I find being away from a computer and an infinite rom list to help me more in enjoying games and I discover games I never would have otherwise
Just don't be mean to me! :(

>>9104373
You aite my nigga

>Steam and discord open.
You've got Steam open when you're not using it and you're constantly on the 4chan version of facebook. Sounds like a you problem.

>>9104369
You came into the thread with a hostile post. You get hostility in return.

>>9104449
Hostile ?
>>9104447
Nah I don't use that stuff. Don't even have any accounts.

>>9104341
I don't understand how this weak bait works so well.

Ultra based and redpilled. Seething (you)s guaranteed.

free game you didnt buy?
i dig it

>>9103935
There's a lot of reasons I emulate mostly, and older stuff getting flakier as time goes on is one of them. I don't do too much save states though and still tend to just use whatever save they have in.
Old games with passwords I save state.
