I would be among that 14%.

The article also says 15% of Americans have listened to music on a cassette (I did yesterday), and have watched a movie on VHS in the last year (also me, Game of Death).

So do I, but recently I've been wanting to get off the PC and play on the real deal. Might be picking up an NES or TG16 soon and I'll prolly grab an SNES and OG PSX if I can find the right one. My younger sister just told me she's got an NES with the OG gray Zapper in storage.

I made a thread all about gear for emulation…mainly portable.

Yall Into Emulation/Rom Hacks/Mods? The Thread

I noticed that there ain’t no threads about emulation, emulators or roms or anything like that. I recently modded my 3DS and that re-introduced me to the world of roms and emulation for like the 3rd time in my life. Each time that I’ve gotten back into emulation, the technological advances and...

I've been into emulation since the 90's. Touched on it in the Retro Gaming thread.

Is that even possible in 2023???

I'm fuckin with ya. MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

MAMEdev.org | Home of The MAME Project

www.mamedev.org www.mamedev.org

It's an emulator that more or less emulates old arcade game hardware. At this point, it runs literally thousands of arcade games and their variants. Neo Geo, Capcom CPS/CPS2/CPS3, Nearly all of the Sega systems (System 1/2/16/24/32, Naomi, Model 1, 2, and 3), Namco shits (System 10, 11, 22, etc) and pretty much every single arcade game from Pong through many current games.

MAME is what I used to make these videos:








I typically use MAME UI 64 as a front end for MAME on my PC. Just makes it easier to navigate and it can also spit out wav files and video of whatever you're playing.

I've been running emulators since I had a 486. NESTicle, SNES9x, ZSnes, REM, System16 Emulator, Stella, WinUAE... All kinda shit back in them days.

I have a RasPi3 that I've run RetroPie on. Had it connected to my desk TV for the longest and had it hooked up to the TV in the living room at one point. Right now it's back to running the regular Linux OS and it's connected to the TV in my bedroom.

Bruh... I want another Vectrex, Moms gave mine away when I went off to college. Right now them muhfuckas are like $500 and I still gotta get the games for it. I also want another Sega CD 2 to go with my Genesis, but even those things are expensive now. It's crazy 'cause pre-pandemic them shits was super cheap.
