Grab an emulator, you'll spare money and make the world a better place.

How is it making the world a better place?  I was just thinking of the waste of old systems.  If no one bought all the old systems then all the systems would end up in landfills (with very few of them being recycled).  How is not reselling old systems and games making the world a better place?  If anything it would make it worse with more electronic waste in the landfills.

 

Have fun trying to play local multiplayer games on your emulator.  N64 was made for 4 player local gaming.  I'm pretty sure you can't do that on an emulator.

Of course you can.

And I was half serious. The better way to go is to pick an emulator at least when it's fully reliable. Wich is the case with older systems than PS2. PCSX2 can be a bitch sometime. Emulators are free, so are the games and they are far more powerful than the console for old system older than ps2. Wich means resolution up to 1080p and TRUE blocked 60 fps. Wasn't the case with og console. Plus you can record you party, mod them, play online...

I'm not saying because I play on pc, but really, good and well crafted emulators are the shit. Plus, it made most of the older games available for everyone a while ago. I was poor and couldn't profit of those games, I could only with emulators. So yeah, emulators >>> old console systems.

Don't know if it would made the world a better place though.
