    I keep their memories close by, in several hard drives, and frequently play them over my network…

    I got a Miyoo Mini very recently and have been playing a lot of games since. I can’t put the thing down for long at all!

        There’s a pretty thriving retro scene… you can buy any of the consoles listed here fairly easily.

          You can even get better and new alternative retro consoles. As in consoles with HDMI out and upscalers that will run old games.

            Which is better for 8- and 16-bit games, HDMI out with an upscaler, or analog video out with a real CRT?

              That is entirely subjective but I would say some still prefer CRT and Analog video, which these retro consoles also provide. There are also some benefits for it like no lag and better graphics due to the natural blurring of the CRT but at the cost of space and screen size. CRTs are bulky.

        Konami and Nintendo? Yeah I agree they’re too litigious. Still, it’s trivially easy to emulate though.

    I know I can emulate, but there are times when I wish I still had my old Playstation. I left mine behind when I had to make a sudden break from an ex of mine about 20ish years ago. Somehow I ended up with a controller and the mouse, but I have no idea how they got separated from the system itself and ended up in my possession.

        Yes, but not many games used it or supported it. I think mine came with the game Discworld or perhaps I bought it separately for that game, I don’t recall.
