I got an OLED SWITCH for Christmas and I’ve been diving into the emulated games. So much fun but I normally emulate games on my miyoo mini plus or pc.

I’m wondering which device do you prefer to use?

    Over the years, I’ve become one to keep my media use as legit as possible. No judgement on anyone who doesn’t, but for a variety of reasons I have chosen to.

    For retro games, that means my process is:

    • Evercade - I’m a huge fan of the Evercade ecosystem and if a game is available there I will play it there first.
    • NSO - For games not available on Evercade, my next stop will be Switch Online.
    • Collections - If a game isn’t available on NSO, I’ll see if it’s available via a collection. Think Castlevania Collections, Arcade Archives, Namco Museums, etc. For these I’ll typically check reviews before picking it up and make sure the games play well as that’s not always a guarantee.
    • Unlicensed emulation - Only at that point will I fire up a game on my raspberry pi.

    Though honestly I can’t really be bothered to tinker with shit as much anymore these days, so often (but not always) by the time I arrive at unlicensed emulation as the solution I’ll just decide to play something else instead.

      Heck yeah. The Evercade Library is so~ expansive, and the emulation is top-notch! Love that I can hook my Handheld to the VS as an additional controller, share the modules and savestates between the two consoles…
