Is there some sort of secret? No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i’m missing something. I’m willing to accept that I might be an idiot. But seriously how to people do it? It just feels so unatural. Sorry if this is a dumb question, because I think it’s a dumb question too.
I have a 3bitDo SNES style controller. I barely use my computers for emulation these days though. I’ve got a plug-in/clip-on phone controller, and my phone is beefy enough to do everything up to the switch. Obviously some games and systems run better than others, but I mostly play PS1/2 with some 3/DS and SNES occasionally. I own the actual hardware for all of those, and for 3ds and ds they’re portable. It is a bit of a faff lugging around multiple handhelds though…
I’d love to set up emulation on my phone but I don’t have a controller for my phone and I have a Steam Deck for portable emulation. Still, using the actual hardware is ideal, I just wish I knew where my DS and its charger went!
When I moved from Canada to the UK, my now wife and I had our very first actual fight. She didn’t understand why I wasn’t willing to give away or sell off my game collection. I have NES, SNES, N64, OG Xbox, 360, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Vita, GB-DMG, GBC, GBA, DS and 3DS. With a load of games for each one. It was when she was helping do research on reasonable value for all of them for insurance to ship it all she finally got why I wasn’t willing to sell it and try and rebuild the collection over here.
Yeah, a lot of people don’t seem to understand just how valuable our retro game collection can be. A lot of people think it’s just about holding onto the past, but it’s more than that. Not to mention the fact that the games you really loved for the consoles you really loved can hold very deep sentimental value that you shouldn’t be forced to give up.
