Maybe I‘ll mod my ps3 to make it emulate games. I heard that works pretty good.

I obviously would like to get tons of old games and since they’re not sold anywhere for a fair price, I deem it morally sound to find them.

I heard of „handheld retro gaming consoles“ which also have found games on them. Does anyone have experience with those?

Btw: Since the graphics are pretty low res, that could be a better alternative than the ps3 since the 55“ tv its hooked up to might make it look worse.

It’s just an idea at this point so I‘m happy for any direction. I figured c/retrogaming might be wrong since talking about finding unlicensed games might be against their rules. Feel free to advise me otherwise.

P.S.: Forgive the ignorance. I know my way around commandline and some medium advanced programming but I‘m not pro at sailing the high seas at all.

Loving my Ayn Odin. With little effort it will handle up to PS2 and will even handle some Wii and 3DS games. Form factor is comfortable. I'm really happy with the retro experience on it.

Nice! Thanks for the suggestion.

No problem, check out RetroGameCorp on YouTube for reviews of handhelds, as well as guides. There was also a (hate to say the r word) reddit thread that had some great sources for roms too.

Thank you again. Will check the reviews out. And don't worry, we're slowly easing off our former favorite drug. ;)
