Emulators all have input lag by default. Playing games on emulators will always be inferior to playing games on original hardware.
Facts but playing on emulators is more convenient. Also free. I own a real SNES but i exclusively use emulators to play SNES games.
Doesn't help that the European SNES was kind of shit ngl

I use ODEs for retro consoles with disc drives.

Eh, it depends. I'd rather play GameCube games on a hacked Wii than play them on an emulator. Some games are horrible on emulators due to required fast inputs.
Controllers also habe input lag and so does the screen you use.
Then either the emulator is bad and or the system you are using to emulate the console and game.
The only reason i use emulators is cus i'm a poor mathoerfucker. But i wouldn't get to experience the golden classics otherwisw. Emulators are good.
A huge catalogue of games is unplayable on emulators because of shit optimization,
I couldn't run GOW 3 despite it being a 2010 game.

PS3 is infamously hard to emulate because PS3 hardware is so unique. Same with OG Xbox.
Rich people problems
True, emulation always adds latency, but for the most part it's hard to notice.
In no way is it a rich person problem to the extent that you don’t live in an African village.
I wish I could go to video game stores and purchase physical games but it’s too expensive. And all the legendary classics have astronomical pricing to it.
For example you could spend upwards to $90 and have a DS lite with hundreds of GBA and DS games.
Emulation/pirating is a must in today’s retro gaming market.
Ik but playing dkc and banjo on my android with a ps4 controller is still fun af
Just buy an old console amd soft mod it bro
The only thing I missed about living abroad was the pirating scene at local flea markets.
Depends, there are some rare/expensive or lost games that are only conserved thanks to emulation
Emulators are the only way to play older games now despite the lag.
Maybe it's because I don't play Nintendo games but I've not really noticed that much input lag when I'm emulating PSP/PS2.
Unless you have a powerful PC you're going to have lag on emulators sadly.
Yeah I can notice a bit of delay with some of the nintendo games I've emulated but it's not enough of a dealbreaker to me that I'd go out and spent money on the actual console and game instead
Nothing beats a softmodded ps2+ps3 with an infinite library
There are other perks though, like wide screen support for 3D games and rendering the game at higher resolutions than native. Plus running the game at 200% or more speed to get past annoying stuff. Also saving anytime you want basically. But honestly a controller is mandatory. Playing many of these with a mouse and keyboard set-up sucks.
orginal hardware will die out and its cheaper just to emualte
Original hardware doesn't actually die out. the chips inside are fully functioning forever and most midwits throw them out when they start overheating due to secondary factors
