Two things more reporting should do regarding emulators:
Make it clear they are not always straightforward to use. Many people seem to assume Delta will be Spotify for old Nintendo games when it’s more like VLC. RetroArch is… let’s say not an app with the best UX.
Explain that, yes, these old games aren’t like new games. I just saw one person grumbling that old PlayStation games are a bit rubbish and not something they’d want to spend time with. OK… maybe emulation isn’t for you then.
@craiggrannell It’s a bit like old films right? Oh. It’s black and white. And delivery is a bit stilted. And there’s no sex. There’s more to art than transposition.
@marksemczyszyn It also assumes that everything is a constant evolution for the better, which I don’t believe is the case. There is plenty of music that this 10, 20, 50 or 100+ years old that is still amazing. And that’s the case for classic games. Most of them aren’t great, to be fair. But I’d still happily have a Robotron cab in this house, if 1) that was remotely viable, and 2) I had a hope of maintaining the thing.
