What would it take for you to stop emulating?

[Snailface]

Its simply a matter of what's a better use of my time. Playing new games for a cost or playing old games for free.
I do much more of the former if there are compelling new games.

 

[Tigran]

Your not far away then.... PC Did have a native version for that game and they DID re-release NiGHTS into Dreams on Steam

I did get Nights on the PS3...

But I've been trying to emulate Panzer Dragoon Saga with no luck recently.

 

[Clydefrosch]

theres little reason to stop really, obviously heaps of money would probably convince me to stop a certain behavior, but otherwise...

Free Flashable cartridges for rom hacks and translation patches, consoles compatible with every cartridge it's capable of emulating, save states and extensive video/audio/controller options.

In other words, no.

Make Mega Man X - X3 for the 3DS, but not a crappy port. If they do that, I'll consider it.

Well there's the whole "If I haven't played it it's new to me"...

 

[PolloDiablo]

nothing, I'm old, I don't care about new games

 

[emigre]

Give me an attractive twenty year old woman with big tits then I'll stop emulating.

 

[BORTZ]

I dont see how emulating is a bad thing.

 

[Depravo]

A sudden and unlikely loss of interest in older games.

You are very funny.

[Flame]

if they port it to android, 3DS or other consoles, them ill stop emulating. e.g. another world is on android now, so i have stopped emulating and brought the thing. if Nintendo brings mother 3 to the west and 3DS, ill stop emulating and ill buy it.

 

[Rizsparky]

I only emulate retro games, so if SNES, GB/C/A were released on the 3DS eshop at an affordable price and tied to an account, I would stop emulating.

 

[PolloDiablo]

when "they" release a console where you can:
- play ALL the games (from Atari 2600 though the Wii)
- enhance the image quality with filters like 2xSAI or HQ4X
- render 3D games with a greater native resolution
- use re-texture packs (likes those awesome HD packs for the N64)
- use translation patchs, romhacks, or other game enhancer patchs
- have a nice and clean interface (like XBMC with covers and screenshots)
- the option to use whatever controller you like
- being able to download all those games for free

call me when "they" made that console

 

[mightymuffy]

The only real way would be for them to chop both my hands off...... that said, I've been through summat like Secret of Mana that many times I'd probably have a do with my feet. Needs must ehh....
Suppose they'd better chop them off while they're at it too then! .....and since the thought of any other extremity being chopped off brings tears to my eyes I'm gonna stop typing right now....

[The Real Jdbye]

The question is moot. I don't emulate newer games, I run them on the actual device.
And nothing is going to happen that could change how people view retro emulation.
Maybe if Virtual Console was near free and it had every game ever.
