Well, for any type of nostlagia, best thing I can reccomend is patiently wait for MISTER FPGA modules, to have all the consoles you used to play... and get a Everdrive for your respective Catridge Slot based systems.

You get clear picture and sound, can use the original controllers, it's pretty dope.

As for your CD based systems, I would reccomend getting one of those Disc Tray emulation contraptions with the SD card. Then you can at the very least keep your console and it's original controllers.

Also, If you want the best experience and best way to play all your consoles...
I highly suggest you buy this projector... I reccomend it to all my friends.
I bought mine for 200$ from Facebook Market place!

It has all the hooks you will ever need to play all of your retro consoles.
Because it's DLP it handles native analog signals perfectly.. with no input lag.

The lamp lasts forever, especially if only used for gaming. I play my N64 on this bad boy all the time... with the simple RCA cables (Composite) and the image looks Beautifull, because the projector was made this in mind.... it's not a secondary post processing thing, it was built for this.
I have a HDMI HUB for my newer consoles and PC that is hooked up to it (Note: It's 120hz refresh!!!!) and I have a HUB for all my Composite consoles and it even has VGA! Don't ever listen to VGA Haters... trust me when i say it's number one for a projector. I have my Xbox 360 hooked up via the VGA (real original cable... not some adapter) and I run all my consoles in 720p Mode.

A lot of people don't know that the PS3 and Xbox360 generation of consoles actually run better in 720P Mode.

God I love talking about this stuff.... Don't need line doubler... you just need a great DLP projector made from the era of your gaming. Don't buy a 4K or cheap chinese projector either. Plus... the last thing that is great.... is this project is Ultra short throw, so it can be put up against the wall and is not loud (as long as you remember to clean out your filter every couple of months.... especially if you have pets).

Neither one is better than the other. They're both unique and the same in their own way. Trolls are thick trying to spark a debate when the real answer is anyone that actually enjoys all games bought both systems 2 years ago

Xbox got me early. But I have to say when the wife got the switch for the family I didn't think I'd use the retro game apps nearly as much as I do.

I own a Playstation 4 and I love Sony's systems. I'm a Nintendo fan also and I'll tell you: no ones beat Nintendo in systems.

They are creative and avant-garde, every system they created has brought some new tech to the public and influenced the next gen somehow. Graphic wise they're not the best, in this category Sony takes the spot to me.

Dude, that's awesome you're going to do it! I hope I come across your channel when you make it.

As others have advised, yeah, that's part of the reason why I want to hold on. Nostalgia and to show them what we had years ago. With how advanced we're getting, I can't imagine what we'll have 20-30 years from now. My only concern is are they going to work on newer TV's.

I wish I could get mine replaced for the damage that I caused to them. That's my concern. They work, but they could work better.

Although I agree with the others' frustration I'm gonna try to give you a helpful explanation as to why they're so annoyed:

  1. Your post title is not descriptive or informative. The title should introduce and describe the post to follow; your title could be implying that your Xbox caught fire, your dog is choking on a Switch controller, or you're stuck trying to get past the first boss of Elden Ring.

  2. Your question is subjective. There is no one right answer. Especially comparing a home console with a portable self-contained VR headset; you came to /r/fruit asking whether you should have an apple or an orange for lunch because you had a banana yesterday.

  3. You haven't given us anywhere near enough information to answer the question. How is your Xbox not meeting your needs? What do you want from the Quest 2? What do you want from the PS5? Why don't you want a Switch or a PC? This goes back to the previous point; there's no one-size-fits-all answer to the question.
