    What about playing them on the original consoles? I’ve got a Game Cube and PS3 I still use occasionally, and a PS2 that I haven’t tried in a long time but would give it 50/50 for just booting up if I hooked it up, plus some portion of the failure 50% includes the possibility of repairing it.

      Original console, in most cases, is probably gonna be the better option IMO. But due to the rising cost of everything, games/consoles included, emulation is better from a purely price saving standpoint. I am lucky enough to have so many consoles, but I still emulate or use console softmods because I can’t afford every game I want.

        I also love how emulators make 40 year old games much more playable with features like state save.
