@last_lap I think I should have put a disclaimer on my post. I'm not really here to seriously argue, only to banter. I wouldn't take what I put here too seriously. I'm a nice British guy, honest.
I'm a retro gamer too. Unfortunately, I only own 2 retro machines, an Xbox 360 (is that Retro lol?) and an old PSP. because I lack space currently, I don't have much room for any other machines. I do most of my retro gaming via emulation. Also, like you, I play everything, from the Atari 2600 up to the PS3. Even use Shaders to try to make it look like I'm playing on old CRT.
In fact, sometime later this year I'm hoping to pick up an FPGA based system called the Mister Multisystem 2 which incorporates a DE10 Nano FPGA. I'm looking at a more authentic way of playing old systems, without the need to go out, buy and then try to maintain them.
On Friday I visited a local 'Barcade' filled with a number of old arcade cabinets. They also had some console's you could play for free. I played some of them, but avoided the N64 and PS1. Not because of the consoles look bad themselves, but because they were hooked up to modern TV's without any kind of scaler in-between. Short of playing such systems on CRT, these machines at the very least need a Framemiester or OSSC to look decent on a modern display.
Yes, I like nice graphics, but I'm not a graphics whore per-say. There would be a number of 4090 or even 4080 users who would scoff (and probably still do) at the very thought of 4K in Ultra Performance. I get a great of pleasure out of trying to optimise games on my PC.
