It's honestly good advice, but I much prefer original hardware when possible. (lemmy.world)

Does anyone "prefer" emulation?

edit: I should added the caveat "if it's feasible" because yeah it often isn't. We don't all have a lot of space, time, and money to deal with multiple old systems.

edit2: okokok there are plenty of reasons to prefer emulation. I was just thinking of controller/feel of the games almost always was best on the original.

I'm in my 40s and basically have two jobs on top of housework. If I do play a retro game, I want things like save states since I'm probably playing more for a nostalgia kick than anything else and want to be able to put it down and pick it up (as well as not have to re-do things in games with save points few and far between).
