What does /vr/ think of classic consoles?

[Anonymous No.7475659]

It's still emulation, at the end of it.

[Anonymous No.7475665]

Honestly perfect for well adjusted adults who have a tinge of nostalgic feeling for these consoles and want to share that with their children.

Giving someone, especially a kid too many options at once will make them appreciate the games less. It's better to let them play 2 or 3 at a time.

I have one, they say it does but it's been undiscernible to me except in Punch Out (using Retroarch since I have a SNES classic) - I can't beat Tyson and can on an NES. I have seen others say they can't either and that it's impossible on one but I don't know of that's true.

They're basically shitty corporate cash-ins. The only way it could make sense would be if you had very little time and tons and tons of money. There's also trusting Nintendo with your gaming experience rather than plebbitors and the like.

The mini SNES, NES, and Genesis are good
I own a real SNES and Genesis but I don't have every single game that comes on the clone console.

Mostly my takeaway is that more options to play these games are always great. I have normie friends who bought a switch as their first console since like the PS2, and they're often curious about some other game they played as a kid or just keep hearing about. Most regular people aren't going to set up an emulator and track down a bunch of roms, so the mini consoles are a great option. Or they would be if Nintendo had manufactured enough of them.

They sounded pretty neat desu then Nintendo pulled a 180 and said they would be a limited item and once they stopped producing them they gave the statement "People need to realize Nintendo is just a business with finite resources."

They still claim on their legal page that emulators and roms prevent things like rom collections and mini console from being successful. Fucking cunts.

Yeah yeah. Keep in mind the NES Classic came out while the WiiU was still their current console so it made sense there. The SNES Classic less so. Idk. It's still nice to have but these days its like, I have a WiiU with the VC, I have an SNES Classic, I have a real SNES, and I have a Switch with their shitty little NSO library. So what that I don't already have access to am I really gonna purchase on the WiiU VC and use the controller for that I wouldn't just buy for the real SNES? Maybe like Harvest Moon, but am I gonna set up the WiiU and keep the gamepad charged just to play that? Nah.

Exactly we literally let these companies put us in a corner. It's feels akin to a monopoly because as far as the company is concerned unless you play this game, on this device, bought from there service at this price, of which you only own a license to play it and not the game itself your shit out of luck.

Autobleem is much much better.

It will automatically scan the games you put in the games folder on your drive then add the name, information and cover art.

Project eris used to be bleemsync which predated autobleem. It was a pain in the ass, you had to modify the game files manually in a number of ways, for example if the game had more than one bin file they had to be merged into one.

Once autobleem came around, most people stopped using bleemsync cause autobleem did all the work automatically. The bleemsync community got butt hurt cause autobleem would copy everything they did but better. The community died and the left overs formed a new community and started project eris

The only advantage project eris has is this one starwars game they got to work

Do PS1 games and Dreamcast games actually work well on it? I haven't tried anything past the GBA. I did try an arcade ROM once but it wouldn't load for some reason.

It's super easy.

To just add more SNES games
https://snesclassicmods.com/how-to-add-more-games-to-snes-classic-mini/

This will use the built in emulator which runs most SNES games but it does have issues with some rom hacks

To add and play roms for different consoles (using RetroArch):
https://snesclassicmods.com/how-to-install-retroarch-to-snes-classic-mini/

This will let you add and play roms from NES, Genesis, GB/C/GBA etc. This will also solve issues of any SNES games that you may have wanted to play that didn't work with simply doing the above method as in my experience if the official emu they are using didnt work, RetroArch did.
