Kinda It's an open source (emulator?) where a bunch of people make "cores" to replicate the platform of source almost perfectly. If you watch Giant Bomb Jeff plays on one a lot and it's got like tons of different platforms, even like little obscure ones. Commodore 64 California Games baby!

maddux4163 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 But honestly. Emulation wise? I just need 16bit and below. Toss is PS1 if it’s easy. Not into emulating PS2 and GameCube. Nah nah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Honestly, I don’t care for emulation. I go with the original hardware almost every time. At least modded hardware. we only used the MiSTer for the GG game so we could play it together. Otherwise, it’s just a tinkering object for him.

Many ports were perfected a generation later on console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying cash/space wise it’s not worth it but for the 1% of collectors. We are a rare breed. We push the prices up. They’ll play space invaders on their iPhone. Not a $2500 cabinet.

Personally, the cans are a bit uncomfortable to play at for any significant length of time. Plus, the screens are old and a bitch to fix and they don’t look as nice these days.
