Old But Gold, huh? This was an interesting comic. I like it! Made me think about stuff.

Emulation is a lot more convenient. It may enhance the experience with increased resolution, savestates, romhacks and what not. It takes up less space in your room.

But that feeling of playing on real hardware. Probably a combination of nostalgia, the proper controller and just seeing the games displayed the way the devs envisioned them, it's wonderful. No emulator can fully replace that.

Hey, that logo! I remember using Daedalus to play Mario 64 on my PSP, haha. The PSP was my first emulation machine. What a joy. I used it more for emulators than actual PSP games.

It's weird, I rarely play my old consoles nowadays because I'm afraid of wearing them out and one day being unable to replace them. Hmm, nothing lasts forever.

I guess it doesn't really matter how we enjoy the games, the good thing is we keep enjoying them. ;)

Edit:
What kind of person would want Tingle in their room? Nonono.

Edit2:
In some cases savestates ruin the experience for me. I cheat myself by using them, it deprives me of any feeling of accomplishment.

What's wrong with having a Gizmondo?
I even have 2 of them (:

The device itself has a very nice homebrew/emulator support. There are also some nice games on it. The Gizmondo has a very great historical background.
Besides, it's also a nice collectors item, since there isn't many of them sold.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    @BigOnYa i was legitimately trying to scratch my leg, this is reminding me of that cylinder post
  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    People always yap about oh but you loose pixels but yeah it won't look awful either
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Filters are why you don't go on 2nd dates
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol nahhh it's because I usually get what they want on the first date lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I swear if I hear "I don't usually do this on the first date" on more time... I am going to start counting
