This is what the Wii U needed to be, but finally we are getting something I've wanted for years. I barely played handhelds after the Gameboy Advance, because I want to play games on my TV, but there was stuff on the handhelds I wanted to play, but couldn't. So now those games that are usually put onto handheld, I can play on TV or if I need to for the few times I need portability, I can use it portable. It's the perfect system. As for the original message related to features and such, I don't need anything specific, though I want to see more genuinely good 3D platformers. It's a genre that doesn't see a lot of love these days, though it's coming back with Ratchet and Clank, Yooka Laylee, A Hat in Time... |

I've been thinking hard about future proofing my collection (having a means to play all of my older games long after the disk drives die, all the CRT TVs burn out, and all the carts and disks rot away, which leads me to believe that someone needs to create a perfect emulator for every console. I don't know much about emulation from a programming perspective, but I hope that someday every console, new and old has a perfect emulator made for it so games can be played and enjoyed as long as the source code for the emulator exists. |

Disc rot is famous to Laserdisc collectors, and has started appearing in Saturn collections too. My own personal experience is with SF III: 3rd Strike. It was the last game I needed for a full collection... so I had to dump another $30 into a second copy!!! " |

XRGB Framemeister or something even better in the future - Carts Rot Away - I haven't had any issues with correct storage and cleaning with electronic circuit board cleaner. How about you? - Disk rot - Yeah CD based media is terrible nothing you can do here except mod your console and play of a disk drive were possible - Emulation... Not yet for me. I'll mod the console to play off a drive and cartridge based systems I can use EEPROM flash carts. I dare say we will see more FPGA consoles emulation in the future. |
