Get a device or two, as well.
Your computer may very well get obsolete when it comes to software support.
A handheld or console meant to be an emulation console won't have to move through time. It'll be as it is after the day you're done setting it up, like a hacked console.
Your PC has to keep up with web standards, codecs, online goings on but dedicated, offline devices do not. I may choose an SBC to do this to, and make a copy of the partition housing the emulators and boot drive for safe keeping.
I also have two different raspberrypi emulation images. Since those are literally everywhere, it's a sure bet you'll be able to find one to put the sd card into, even years from now.
Just don't play Nintendo games lol. That's what I do. I didn't grow up with these 'classics' and I don't feel like getting into these as an adult. 🤷♂️
Oh, that's a good idea. Never thought of just tossing my entire childhood and lifetime hobby away because a stranger thinks keeping up with less than a terabyte of old games is hard.
Lmao. Some of us aren't vegetables.
Oh someone having different opinion makes them a vegetable? Choke on that nintendick while they shove an unlubed dildo up your ass.
Get rekt by AAA cock, sheepdick. Pay that subscription lmao. Hail corpo!
Sounds like someone couldn't get past the retroarch GUI. Oh well, maybe they'll put it on gamepass for you someday.
You're a special kind of moron, aren't you?
Fucking hilarious coming from someone giving a blowie to Bowser. Or other than scrappy Nintendo, every other game company is a AAA slop-serving corpo in your delusionland?
Ah elitism too. Figures. Are you going to say you Arch btw next? Which part of 'I don't give a shit about Nintendo classics' was too difficult to get into your brain? Or were you too busy getting pegged by Princess Peach?
Fucking chutiya.
Copypasted reply? Really?
Nah, fuck them too. They don't get a pass. They're in the sack with the rest of the greedy shits. Nintendo doesn't even make up the bulk of most classic romsets size, Sony does.
Is arch another tree you can't climb? Pegged by princess peach?
(if you must know, yeah, my desktop runs arch)
Quit projecting, bro. Insults don't have to come from so deep in the heart. I don't need to know you that well 🤣
Yeah, let’s just throw away everything and never touch childhood games or even games that you do enjoy on actual good hardware. Just because a stranger deems it necessary. Such as good idea /sarcasm
Alright, good for you.
Here’s the reason, you might not want to play them now and others do. As someone who did grow up with these games, I love to play them but hate Nintendo and their crappy hardware.
I can enjoy them through emulation and on a good PC. So I will (and others probably).
Okay then don’t?
Then stay in an abusive relationship with Mario and Link 👍
I sure do.
