Dreamcast is great. Especially if you have a CD burner

I'd consider an optical drive emulator like GDEMU so you can store your entire collection on an SD card. This ensures your physical collection lasts longer and loading times are shorter as well.

Much better idea, I don't guess I was aware of it

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The physical discs won't last much longer.

Uh…I don’t use CD burners.

Might be worth looking into an external, unless you are a physical collector. You do you friend

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmy.autism.place 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks. Yeah, I’m a physical collector.

I dig it. My only other advice, is you could use backups to keep your originals in good condition, but I'm not sure if CD-Rs are more rough on the laser

If you ever have the opportunity, I would be interested in seeing your collection

In general. I enjoy all retro gaming stuff

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmy.autism.place 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Dreamcast, Saturn, 2600, Genesis, Nintendo 64, PlayStation 1, Odyssey^2^, Xbox, SNES, and NES. I own a lot of systems.

Hell yeah. I look forward to seeing more of your posts
