| AlfredoTurkey said: The most vocal pro emulation people fall into one of two camps, sometimes both at the same time. Either they're too broke to go on Ebay and actually buy the real games, or they're desperately trying to convince themselves that their stolen "file" is as good as an actual console/cart. Either way, it's really annoying.
And to all you people talking about save states being a good thing... you do realize that it's cheating, and you're not actually beating anything... right? You might as well just wave the white flag and admit that old games are just too hard for you. |
I don't have room for 6-7 consoles under my TV, the two that I have take up all the space along with surround sound and other things like digital decoder and modem and router. The cable sallad alone would be a nightmare.
Besides; finding old consoles and games in working condition is not that easy, I have a NES and a N64, as well as a PS1 and PS2 though.
I'm sorry you're annoyed by us who enjoy emulators for a multitude of reasons.
PS: Saving is cheating? Sure. Many old games weren't actually that hard in and on themselves, they were simply unforgiving, and this added frustration. It annoyed me in the 80's and 90's and still would today. How about letting people play the way they prefer (or are able to) and chill on the terrible attitude towards others?
Edit; about stolen files; I own the games I currently play on emulators, some even in two hard copies (like FFXII).
