I prefer to play everything on original hardware when possible. With that said however, I'm currently into buying flash carts and disc emulators to play game roms on the original hardware. Still, sometimes I'm just feeling lazy and want to plug in a USB controller to my laptop and play some NES or arcade game. Sure, there's probably some slight difference because it's being emulated, but I don't really care. |

I'm sure there are more viable options these days but this was my way at the time to get a boatload of titles. Couple that with a couple of adapters to use my PS4 arcade sticks on the Xbox and I am good to go. |

That's the exact game that throws me completely off in emulation. I know how that game feels. I never die on it. On a Retron 5 the input lag was incredibly apparent on SMB, I was dying left and right |

sometimes free ROM can have issues, I had a few before I knew they were illegal ', and Mike Tyson's Punch-out didn't have a low blow option as far as we could tell. Making the hippo king impossible to beat, therefore after looking it up on the internet we found out that you were suppose to punch him in the stomach but me and my friend could never do it, no matter which button we tried. We pressed all the button's on the controller. Maybe there was a combo that we didn't know about? since A and B Select and Start and a D-pad are the only button's used for NES games,, we tried using the D-pad and pressing all the button and we still could not beat that character It's safer and better two not use free ROMS, since it's it basically the same thing as you know what on the internet Retron 5 I heard was not a good console, which is why I never bought one :-\ |
