I guess part of the thrill of the hunt to me is getting to play what I find. I also prefer to play the games on my television. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=89363 2012-11-21T17:42:43 -05.00 zombi 36 So I'd always like to play on an actual console.

Something about emus doesn't feel right... Either too fast or too slow.. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=89363 2012-11-21T15:58:02 -05.00 zombi 36 , I really want to keep my saves, so some games that rely on batteries I rather have an emulator save, but for most games its not necessary. Thanks God no more battery saves now!! and also you can back up your saves from GameCube, Wii, Virtual Console, so it is almost perfect. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=89363 2012-11-21T14:58:17 -05.00 zombi 36 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=89363 2012-11-21T14:44:42 -05.00 zombi 36 Originally posted by: standigz

The emulator would need to be able to be easily ported to different architectures also.
 


That's exactly what byuu is doing with bsnes. It's already cycle-exact for SNES emulation, and he's so dedicated to preserving everything that he spent thousands of dollars collecting the entire North America set of SNES games, and has been re-dumping each one as well as scanning the board, cart, box, and manual. He wants a completely preserved library. When he finishes the North America set, he's going to work on the Japanese set next, and then lastly the PAL set (which he's dreading because of how outrageous the cart prices are now.

playing NES games on GBA SP when you are on the go
playing NES games on phone when you are on the go

get a NES to USB adapter for the controller, and don't use the other features you don't like / want!

right, but I have to face the music. The games aren't getting any more plentiful, cheaper, and there is only a matter of time before bitrot gets them anyway.

Right now emulation is good, usable, and satisfactory for the most part with NES, SNES, etc, but subtle differences that are hard to pinpoint exist that make the game just not "feel right" maybe it's the lcd monitor, maybe the rosy nostolgia glasses are the culprit, who knows?

But in the end, emulation is necessary, it's the best way to preserve everything, and without them we wouldn't have all those cool homebrews and romhacks easily at our fingertips. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=89363 2012-11-18T19:11:53 -05.00 zombi 36 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=89363 2012-11-18T18:28:30 -05.00 zombi 36
