well their controllers at least are bluetooth and work on said gaming rig lol.

I actually used emulators for a long time but I'd kept my genesis working since I was like... 3.

and when comparing the two I noticed minor things like in game music, occasional glitches, etc which the console did not have.

upon getting a super nintendo I noticed the same thing with the ZSNES emulator, and with my nes vs both NES emulators I tried.

it was from that point that I decided hardware > software/emulation. plus the controllers weren't the same which is why I learned how to make parallel to controller adapters for my old consoles.

having used both I can definitively say that actual hardware will always be superior. which is why I'm excited about analogue's systems especially because they do low level hardware emulation using FPGA's, it's the closest they'll get to actual hardware reproduction without getting sued by the companies.
