I'll use emulation to work around technical problems with OG hardware or to have a better experience with specific games like FPS's and games with performance problems on real hardware especially. Otherwise I definitely prefer real hardware and CRT.

If you're playing the video game on an emulator, you will never in a trillion years experience the game. You'll think you have experienced it, but you'll be cheated. It's such a sadness that you think you've played a video game on your fucking emulator.

It depends. I emulate GBA and PS1, but I play N64 and GC on the consoles. I think the main difference is that it's literally easier for me to play the N64 and GC because it's all hooked up to a CRT and ready to go, while I don't even have a proper controller for those games to emulate on my PC.

Both. I love convenience. I love authenticity. I don't want to give up one for the other. Which choice I make depends on the situation. It's great to be able to get halfway through a game using an emulator on a portable then copy my game save to use on my flash cart when I'm at home.

I rest my case. N64 emulation is not perfect, despite what you heard from some Yootube E-Celeb. Just getting games running and applying shitty filters does not mean perfect or even great.

We now live in an era where 13 year olds come on boards like this commenting on systems and their percieved"faults" when their only experience of the systems are through shitty emulation.
