I've started emulating almost everything I play from the 4th gen and older. Why? Because it is way more convenient to play it on my laptop with a controller than to dig the games out (assuming I have them) and play them on the TV. Also, games from the 4th gen and older have become so expensive and hard to come by, it is really the best way to enjoy titles from that era. In addition to this, emulation for SNES, NES, Genesis, TG16 and many of those consoles is 98% identical to the console at this point. Emulation used to be something I could not stand, but it really isn't so bad when you just want to play a game without paying a fortune on Ebay for a physical cart.
