Thinking of getting a retro gaming machine.
Maybe I‘ll mod my ps3 to make it emulate games. I heard that works pretty good.
I obviously would like to get tons of old games and since they’re not sold anywhere for a fair price, I deem it morally sound to find them.
I heard of „handheld retro gaming consoles“ which also have found games on them. Does anyone have experience with those?
Btw: Since the graphics are pretty low res, that could be a better alternative than the ps3 since the 55“ tv its hooked up to might make it look worse.
It’s just an idea at this point so I‘m happy for any direction. I figured c/retrogaming might be wrong since talking about finding unlicensed games might be against their rules. Feel free to advise me otherwise.
P.S.: Forgive the ignorance. I know my way around commandline and some medium advanced programming but I‘m not pro at sailing the high seas at all.
A lot of it depends on what consoles you want to emulate. I'm no expert, but from what I've seen just casually looking through retro gaming forums, is that anything up to N64/PS3 is doable with relatively cheap hardware. But if you want to emulate N64 or PS3 and above properly, you're going to need to step up in specs.
Did you mean PS2? There’s about a decade between N64 and PS3.
Definitely sounds like it from the majority of the comments. Thanks for mentioning it. :)
