Ever since the day you knew about emulators... which one is your favorite?
I like emulation, though I do play my PS3... EDIT: Hex numbers don't work. Screw me. Is there a way that I can edit that? ____________________ No quotes found; we apologize for the inconvenience. Commas, question marks, and semicolons are available, though. |

That seems kind of irrelevant Boing.
I prefer the real thing, hands down. |

I prefer the real thing, unless of course I do not own said real thing. Getting to lounge on a couch, a recliner, or my bed beats sitting in a computer chair any day. ____________________ Back from the beyond. |

I prefer either, I've been playing my DS nearly nonstop the past few weeks (Final Fantasy Tactics A2) and have been itching to play my PS2 (Disgaea: Hour of Darkness) but don't necessarily want to sink too much time into a game quite that involved as of right now. I use emulators for my Let's Plays on YouTube for simplicity (and clarity since I LP handhelds), that and it's convenient not to need to have the physical cartridge/CD and the hardware to play them since my TV stand in my apartment is cluttered enough with my TV, DVD player, PS2, N64, NES, and all of my roommate's stuff. |

GameCube/Wii emulation can be better than the real consoles since you could render graphics at high definition.... but generally, I'd prefer the real thing. |

I mostly prefer consoles for console games, but in the case of the NES, I much prefer PocketNES on my GBA to carrying around my NES, a portable TV, & a box of D batteries (which I actually tried once).
I do also play computer games, though, & I would not want to play those particular games on a console. Perhaps there is some slight difference in design between good console & PC games (even in the same genre), or perhaps I am just silly. |

I prefer playing games while sitting down in front of a TV in a nice chair (there are some exceptions) to playing games while hunched over a keyboard.
But I also prefer the conveniences emulation provides to the hassles caused by using old and unreliable hardware. So I'd either have the real thing with some sort of flashcart or an emulator hooked up to a TV. |

Generally, emulation. I have a usb connector for my PS2 controllers so I'm not stuck with keyboard controls, and on an emulator I can fast-forward through boring cutscenes/etc, and of course there are all the various other tools that emulators have available (savestates/rewinding, etc). Though for Wii/GC games, and most DS games, I play them on the actual console/handheld. ____________________ |

Boing, you are wrong.
Shift - B; Z = A; X = X; Ctrl = Y; C = Start; V = Select; A = L; S = R. Anyone who emulates an analog stick on a keyboard needs to not use a keyboard, though. ____________________ we're currently experiencing some technical difficulties |

Ten years ago I would said the real deal.
Now emulators are so good and accurate it's... not really a huge difference to play on a emulator. Thanks to accurate emulators like Nestopia or BSnes. Plus you don't need to fiddle with carts and can chat at the same time with people. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org
