This topic is too old, emulation vs original hardware...
Allways prefer original hardware but...is expensive and...that blurry line is getting less blurry...
1) I began to sell my game & watches, love it but screen fails and didn´t play it...still...I miss the games, I have nintendo switch with retroarch....emulating those devices is not perfect and some games are missing....still waiting to see an easy hack for the G&W super mario edition that was released on 2020....and then maybe I buy it,...or a better emulation /complete romset
2) now I´m selling my handhelds (I keep the original gameboy with an everdrive and gba 101 with flash cart), I´m selling an atari lynx (with aga cart), a game gear (with and everdrive), and a wonderswan color and neo geo pocket (with 1 game each), I don´t know if I´m doing good...but....screens are difficult to see....and modding the screen, even I can do it is not so easy and is expensive ($100...$150...each screen), and...whats the point? if you change the screen...it´s the original hardware....yes...but is almost the same to a switch running retroarch...emulating atari lynx, game gear, neo geo pocket or wonderswan is not so inacurrate....they are all 8 bit (lynx is 16 but looks like 8 bit to me).
what do you think?
I have a vectrex, a virtual boy and snes, genesis, pc engine, BUT on that I find emulation worst that original hardware, sometimes the screen (vectrex & virtual boy are irreplaceable) and some times emulation is not bad but with some differences that make me keep the original hardware...sound is the one that I notice most.
but in the handhelds...even nintendo switch speakers are better...
Does anybody think the same?
