I say it depends on the console. You can have perfect graphics, but I won't enjoy it if it has a bad control scheme.
My current SNES9x and ZSNES control configuration: Control Pad - Arrow Keys B - C A - V Y - X X - B L - A R - S Start - Control Select - Enter Now when I play SMW without that configuration... I fail. I really wish for the Wii VC you could set all keys to the keyboard if you have it plugged in. With some systems like N64 I prefer the real thing WAAAAAAY more. ____________________ -Ninjablooper  |

I love the NES and all, but I don't have my own personal TV anymore, and I need a new adapter since mine fried.
Playing NES on my DS/GBA or computer is easy. ____________________

Posted by boingboingsplat I only use about three keys in SMW and there all set around the same area. I rarely ever use X, I use Y instead. Also A and S are convenient, I just extend my finger a bit. ____________________ -Ninjablooper |

As far as control schemes are concerned, I always take advantage of ZSNES's ability to make a different one for each game. I honestly don't see so few emulators have adopted that feature. It's incredibly useful. |

I do not personally feel like I get a complete experience with emulation. The "real thing" is always the best way to play things for me. That is why for the past 10 years I have been a collector of classic games for my favorite childhood gaming consoles. |

You can get more than the full experience with emulation. You can find adapters for old NES controllers , a good emulator, and a reasonable sized monitor and play with more features than before. ____________________ -Ninjablooper |

I prefer the real thing when I can use it, but for old consoles/games I don't own, then I just emulate them. Since I have a USB controller, it doesn't really damper the experience too much.
Plus, it gives me the ability to play some games I would never have had the ability to, like the Nintendo 64 and games that were stolen from me back in 2006.... |

To me, it's mostly like Alkerion's, given that I have access to a Wii but nothing else. The major difference is that I very, very rarely had access to a game controller so I don't have much experience to the contrary to dampen.
I loaned a SNES and N64 many years back, that was kinda cool, but not enough to invalidate the above. Another important difference is that nothing was stolen. ____________________ Wife make lunch - Shampoo Opera - give it a spin Spare some of your free time? <GreyMaria> I walked around the Lake so many goddamn times that my sex drive was brutally murdered Kawa rocks  — byuu |

Depends on the genre of the game. For some of the slower paced genres I prefer emulation for it's acceleration capabilities, however the real console is highly preferable when that isn't true just because I like to get completely immersed in games, and whilst sitting in front of my laptop I find that difficult for all of the compulsive rudimentary activities that I periodically maintain while on the computer still tend to interrupt my gaming experience whether I plea pay mind to those activities or not. |

This poll really needs another option: "Depends on the machine".
I prefer playing Super Mario World on an emulator rather than on the Wii, mostly because emulators support nice HQ*X filters which make graphics look smooth, whereas the Wii doesn't even have linear filtering and the game looks horribly pixelated. But when it comes to Wii emulation, for example, I really prefer the real thing. Wii emulation is far from perfect and games don't always run at full speed, even on my computer (Core 2 Duo E8500 @ stock). ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

mm personally i like the emulators because you can got and play games that you never played, cuz if you can't got this games you can got easily on internet. ____________________ Looking for some info about beta/cancelled/unreleased games?
