Honestly, I will emulate almost all consoles EXCEPT N64…. This little weird Frankenstein console barely holds by a thread so most emulators can’t recreate its flaws and quirks correctly (which, funnily enough, are needed to run games smoothly)

PS2 emulators on the other hand, are FREAKING awesome!!! :D Live upscaled Battlefront 2 is GREAT!!

Still waiting for an N64 emulator that renders Bomberman 64 menu properly

This one was me removing it because I posted something about modern games not working on emulators but it is in the retro games thread so I realized it was kind of a foolish place to state that "all" games don't include most of the games people play these days.

Edit: was something like "The wording always annoys me because emulating any game from consoles excludes the PS5, Xbox X, and most AAA games created in the last 15 years unless you pay more than $30 to figure out a graphics card etc etc etc. {dumb thing to say in retro games

Fair enough, thanks for chiming in and correcting me! I'll remove mine too, so it's not overly antagonistic in an inappropriate place (though I do think what I said was accurate, just not the place to discuss it, haha)

I understand, there is a lot of animosity on Lemmy (not trying to compare to other platforms just recognizing it exists.). I think .world will keep getting hate but it likely will also keep growing due to other places having strong opinions that do not align with .worlds view. Doesn't make them right or wrong, just that opinions are segregating themselves to find hives of echos. Shit, now I'm discussing what you said was not the place to discuss. Haha. Hope you have a great day.

What about an FPGA for running the original game cartridges? Such as the Analogue 3D when that eventually releases. Quirks and all included as it becomes the N64. It even supports Bluetooth controllers too and 4k or CRTs.

If it works well, I’m all for it! 😁

(In the past years I’ve seen too many hyped projects just crash on release, so I’ll be observing the progress but I won’t be praising something that’s not even out yet)

This is true, but Analogue has a great reputation already in this space from their other products so I am hopeful.
