As well as the obvious eyestrain, I imagine this is somewhat heavy. At least for a keyring.

They already know how to emulate, lol (and PCSX2 is still terrible).
It's not just kids who buy these games lol. You should see the price ramping up on ebay, i'm sure some people are buying them cheap from Cex and similar and then reselling them for 3x time the value on sites like ebay, craigslist and all the various alternatives.
also, note that this stuff did helped a lot, and the price have been ramping up since at least 2012
I don't think it's heavier than a piece of pcb encased in plastic. I've seen heavier keyrings.
Back me up!

This service is god damn amazing. Shame it doesn't also have all the DS games but this is amazing enough as it is.

I have no freaking clue if this counts but the Flashpoint Launcher has been a godsend for emulating classic flash games. The Newgrounds player always crashed when I wanted to play shit and Flashpoint has a huge library to explore. It's kino.

We're also 16 years out from the very first N64 game hitting Wii Virtual Console

Download the Drastic demo, and if it works buy it or pirate it. It ran flawlessly on my 2013 Nexus 7, and now lets me play 4x upscaled DS games on my modded Switch that I dual booted Android on to.

Arcade is the best platform for picking random games to play based on nothing but the title or developer. Safe bets for the MAME bar: "ninja", "Namco", "Taito", "monster".

eh, nostalgic. it also ran better than the switch virtual console.
one of the best repository for almost any roms. Probably the one best thing out of that hellhole which is reddit.

I'm sure it's been mentioned in the thread before, but can I take a moment to say how much I'm enjoying PCSX2's new Qt gui? If you're familiar with Duckstation's slick and eye-pleasing ui, you'll be right at home here. It's so similar I wonder if it's the same guy responsible for both?
Most importantly, the Qt version (only) allows for per-game configuration. Something that PCSX2 has needed for as long as PCSX2's been a thing.

regarding mame "just download a full set?" question from a bit back
I will usually get a prepacked set that I can set the torrent to just get specific games, then as I want other ones I pull them down.
Also iirc mame got marginally less picky a few years back, and can sometimes try to run things that are labelled the right zip but not the exact romsets it's expecting

I might just stick with the PS3 version of the Sega Genesis Collection. If I recall, they have all versions of Golden Axe and Streets of Rage on there. Plus, if you play enough, you can actually unlock secret Genesis games that were not previously available.

Crusader of Centy, Gain Ground, Outrun, the Shining games, Sonic CD, Ecco the Dolphin CD all make this a pretty good lineup. Hopefully Sonic CD will have both versions like the first Genesis Mini did for some games since the soundtrack is completely different across regions. Night Trap is an iconic Sega CD game, but it's more recent rerelease is am much better experience. It needs a music player though for the CD games since they're just Red Book audio anyway and I've heard of people who just bought Sega CD games for the soundtracks back in the day.
It probably won't make me get one, but I like that Sega CD is getting some official love and I love the USB Genesis pads they made for my Raspberry Pi.

I know my Saturn copy of Darius Gaiden got a lot more use as a CD than as a game, even though it's a nice enough shooter

The mad guy is more right than the Twitter guy, since hardware emulation is a very different thing than software emulation, and I figure he must be ornery due to guys like Modern Vintage Gamer playing fast and loose with the definition of emulation.
