Message: [QUOTE="stealthRUSH, post: 394578, member: 710"] Howdy SUPER-J11BIT! let's see... My all-time favorite retro console is [B]SEGA Saturn[/B] tied with [B]SUPER Nintendo[/B]. I have strong nostalgia for both of these systems they both bring me back "home" to a time where discovering games from only looking at the back of the case & renting them sometimes solely based on the box-art. For years I've been a actual hardware advocator, from holding onto my child-teenage hood collection, owning several Everdrives. But these days I've been firing up emulation more often, although I still play on actual hardware from time to time on special occasions. Before the outrageous price hike on the hobby, back in the early 2000s it was authenticity and habit along with the convenience of just placing the cart/disc in and playing! Today what drives my choice is simply convenience since cost is a major factor. My top priority is playing through and completing games not owning them for the sake of it. Besides nostalgia, when playing 3DO emulation specifically using Phoenix has an option to overclock the CPU to speed up gameplay-which is possible on actual hardware but all with a few clicks which makes it more simple. Accuracy is more important, although I don't mind subtle tweaks for performance for example tighter controls hacks. But nothing that takes away from the intended developers intentions. [/QUOTE]
