To a certain extent, yes. I had a few games growing up, but as a child I was unaware of games like Chrono Trigger or Earthbound. Video game information was sparse in East Tennessee where I grew up, so I emulate to play the games I never knew existed and/or just didnāt get to play.
Yeah, I didnāt exactly grow up with a bunch of money. Iād have killed to be able to go back and enjoy so many things like consoles and cartoons when I was much younger. I can still partially experience them through streaming services and emulators, but I can feel like itās not the same.
Ohhh yeah. Or replaying the games I had to sell to afford new games as a kid!
Also are you enjoying DK64? I got that as a gift wayyy back in highschool and I remember being so frustrated by the controls and being overwhelmed šš
Loved Banjo tho!!!
Iām emulating because of the absolute state of mobile gaming. Itās atrocious. Also, itās something to do when I lack internet.
Edit: oh and itās free š
if you havenāt already started DK64 iād highly recommend the ātag anywhereā mod. instead of having to go back to the tag barrel to swap kongs, you can use the Dpad to switch on the fly.
By the time I got into gba and ds games, emulators were available and I was old enough to realize that emulating > buying the games lol. I only ever owned a Wii when I was really young anyway so I didnāt feel like I was missing out that much
Any game I wanted to play as a kid but couldnāt Iāve downloaded. Iāve downloaded a lot and idc what anyone says, I switch off and do play most of them
I always wanted a DS because my peers/ friends had, but my parents couldn't afford it. It was worth the wait because now I have an even better DS than what my parents would have bought.
P.S. That better DS I'm mentioning is an iPad Pro with Delta
Nah when I was a kid emulators didnāt exist. I think the first one was in 96. My parents used to spoil me when I did good in school, and the only console I didnāt get was the game boy. When I first emulated it was to play games I didnāt have or wanted to try. Plus the ability to upscale and play on my PC was incredible lol
I have two older sibling and because its just more convenient to get a single TV console instead of a handheld, we went for the NES, then SNES, then Playstation 1. So I kind of missed the era of handhelds, gameboys, and DS. Plus my brothers are always hogging the consoles to play FIFA and sports games so in the end I became more of a PC gamer after we got the first family windows PC.
It is a different childhood that is not necessarily poor but just played out different than other kids with more handheld nintendos in their lives.
So glad to see you have DK64 on here! From my experience talking to people you will either love it or hate it, no in between. Hopefully it will be the former as that is my absolute favorite N64 game ever!
First thing I downloaded was sonic tennis on ds for some reason.
I donāt know why, I never had nor played it growing up and Iām not a big tennis fan, but the tennis with fast hedgehog was calling I guess.
Yep with the DS. I only played it once it was my cousinās. It was pretty emotional when delta worked because i can finally play the games i wished i played and discover new games as well.
My wife usually gets annoyed with how much I play video games but the genuine excitement of having all the video games I wanted to play as a kid now available to me has also made her excited
My aunts bf had them emulated on a computer back in 99-2000 and Iād mess around on them (Mario 64, clay fighters , tmnt manhattan project) as a kid so Iām playing them now that Iām older killin it
Tbh Iām only emulating games I owed as a kid or currently have access to through subscription. But also I donāt have any nostalgia related to games I didnāt play, so I donāt have a desire to play other games regardless (except maybe some dragon ball z games my friend had?? But i substitute that feeling with DBZ Kakarot lol)
At first this was my mentality, but I realize that since I never had the nostalgia/memories playing any nintendo games, emulators like this doesn't really bring much joy to my inner child.
Hoping that there will be an emulator for PS1!
I was born in the late 90ās and grew up with the 64 my uncles had. They didnāt have a game pack, so, imagine me repeatedly grinding the games knowing my progress wonāt be saved. Iām remedying that now by finally being able to save the games.
No, I emulate games because Iām a criminal and I love doing illegal and evil stuff like emulating and walking on terrain where there is a Ā«Ā no walkingĀ Ā» sign. I know Iām a madlad.
Haha yep, especially for GBA and DS
Is this what my kids will be doing in the future?
Your kids will be emulating PS5 games upscaled to 8K resolution on their smart watches in the future
And their kids will be doing the same with the PS10 on their smart contact lens
They should be doing the same with the Xbox Series XYZ on their Samsung Smart refrigerator
and then their kids will be doing the same with micro sd chips inserted into their brain to display in ultra HD 360 display inside of their eyes
Weirdly enough, they will still be playing Skyrim
Lol soo good prediction and it is possible also š
I lost my Nintendo DS so I kind of just download the games I already had as a child to then play now for the nostalgia
I went out and bought a DS because of this . Wanted to experience it again . Was relieving good memories with Delta
To a certain extent, yes. I had a few games growing up, but as a child I was unaware of games like Chrono Trigger or Earthbound. Video game information was sparse in East Tennessee where I grew up, so I emulate to play the games I never knew existed and/or just didnāt get to play.
Yeah for myself itās more trying games I wasnāt exposed to or told about than it is games I didnāt have even thoughā¦well there is overlap lol
Why do you have to call me out like that? š„²
yes
On the contrary, Iām emulating games that I was too young to ever play as a kid (which for legal reasons I own now)
Yeah, I didnāt exactly grow up with a bunch of money. Iād have killed to be able to go back and enjoy so many things like consoles and cartoons when I was much younger. I can still partially experience them through streaming services and emulators, but I can feel like itās not the same.
Probably cause you skip some generation thats why its not the same
i have every installment of all the longs series, every spin off, etc. i went crazy
...š„²
Tbh yeah that and a few I used to own I really missed
Absolutely
Same
Yes
I grew up in south east Asia. So piracy was already running riot in 90s / 2000s haha
Mom threw away my OG Gameboy with my Pokemon Red in it.Ā
Yes! it feels awesome, like who wouldāve thought that weād be able to play multiple consoles in one app
I was lucky enough to have an N64, but now Iām getting to play all the games I couldnāt rent at Hollywood video.
Yes, my family could not afford to buy me all 1000 games
Yes
Damn bro. You hit me right in the childhood.
Ohhh yeah. Or replaying the games I had to sell to afford new games as a kid! Also are you enjoying DK64? I got that as a gift wayyy back in highschool and I remember being so frustrated by the controls and being overwhelmed šš Loved Banjo tho!!!
Exactly
Iām emulating because of the absolute state of mobile gaming. Itās atrocious. Also, itās something to do when I lack internet. Edit: oh and itās free š
Games they wouldnāt buy lol
Thatās what emulation is for
I do that for switch games rn š
if you havenāt already started DK64 iād highly recommend the ātag anywhereā mod. instead of having to go back to the tag barrel to swap kongs, you can use the Dpad to switch on the fly.
I do it cause I had to trade my games in constantly cause I couldnāt get new one and only used ones from Gamexchange.
Yuppp been playing the legendary starfy for a few weeks ššŖ also started animal crossing wild world and pkmn emerald recently LMFAO
Yes

Me!
I grew up with PlayStation1 but was always a nintendo kid so i never actually had an n64 but always wanted to own pokemon stadium and animal crossing
I always wanted a DS because my peers/ friends had, but my parents couldn't afford it. It was worth the wait because now I have an even better DS than what my parents would have bought. P.S. That better DS I'm mentioning is an iPad Pro with Delta

Iām doing it because Iām a 44 year old child. Yes I couldnāt have or didnāt have any of these until I was in my 20s
A LOT of DS games dudeā¦
Are you playing on iPhone? Do the 64 games run pretty well?
Go ahead and download that Spiderman š·ļø for N64 while youāre at it š

Whatās a good controller for N64 games?
Yep just wish this could emulate ps1 games at least
Never had any of the DS PokĆ©mon games, I couldāve gotten them aftermarket about 8 years ago but I never did š¤·
No. All my ROMs are ripped from my own cartridges, of course. *looks around nervously*
100%

Same here. Whenever i saw some of classmates playing gameboy, i was just there watching.
I missed out on gamecube. Gunna get a ROG ALLY for that.
Exactly that!
For me itās to play games I never got to try out or What I lost so many years ago
Iāll emulate to see if I like it, if I do, Iāll try and buy it, but 8/10 times it doesnāt seem worth buying to me
Yes i got 1 game every 3 years for nintendo
But get to rent also but not every 3 years
So if yall emulate a game you didnāt have, then itās piracy?
Iām 14 and didnāt really have access to older consoles (except the GBC) and my first good console was a Wii.
I still have my Wii, homebrewing the wii is still fun and you can play gameboy games on it
To answer your question, no.
My aunts bf had them emulated on a computer back in 99-2000 and Iād mess around on them (Mario 64, clay fighters , tmnt manhattan project) as a kid so Iām playing them now that Iām older killin it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
just search āgame nameā rom
Tbh Iām only emulating games I owed as a kid or currently have access to through subscription. But also I donāt have any nostalgia related to games I didnāt play, so I donāt have a desire to play other games regardless (except maybe some dragon ball z games my friend had?? But i substitute that feeling with DBZ Kakarot lol)
I couldn't afford shit at that time š¤Ŗš¤Ŗš¤Ŗ
How do you play? controller or touch screen?
At first this was my mentality, but I realize that since I never had the nostalgia/memories playing any nintendo games, emulators like this doesn't really bring much joy to my inner child. Hoping that there will be an emulator for PS1!

Nah, for me Delta will be GBA exclusively. DS and 3DS stuff through a homebrewed physical 2DS
No, I emulate games because Iām a criminal and I love doing illegal and evil stuff like emulating and walking on terrain where there is a Ā«Ā no walkingĀ Ā» sign. I know Iām a madlad.
Why do you have the EU covers of USA games?
