i really don't think using an emulator is more convenient

how is it not more convenient?

first time set up takes maybe twice as long as plugging in a console.

after that i can have any game on any console up and running in 3 clicks without leaving my chair.

that's why i'm saying it might just be my setup
i have 3 systems near me at all times (right now it's n64, gamecube, ps2)
i can press a button and turn on the tv faster than my 5 clicks + getting out usb to ___ controller dongle
taking a game and finding a rom take about the same time for me (roms are unorganized due to downloading in huge packs, games are all in alphabetical order about a room away)

also what controllers do you guys use for emulators
i have usb to ps2, gamecube, wii classic controller (classic pro is the best for old poop), and recently acquired a wired 360 controller to use for poop

It takes a single click for me to open up a NES, SNES, dual GBC/GBA, dual GBA/DS, Genesis, Game Gear, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Saturn, or dual Gamecube/Wii emulator, ETC and one more click to choose a game.

How is that not immensely convenient? I'm not trying to argue that my gaming setup is good. I just have no idea how anyone could argue against emulation being convenient. Everything is in one place.

Bluetooth PS3 controller. Works great for most emulators.

with my setup it's not as convenient for playing a single game
as i usually don't switch between games on a certain console constantly
like dragon quest for example
it's easier for me to just hit the switch and grab the controller
i know it's in there
it's easier htan clicking and finding the rom and all that

I organize my emulation folders, and windows/emulators usually make it easy by having it open right up to the last directory you opened up to.

The Riddler

you don't lose as much nostalgia with a fake console as you do emulator.

i brought a buddy of mine to play n trade when he wanted an SNES, but i saw that the retron which played both NES and SNES was only about 10 dollars more than the SNES. he doesn't collect, he just wanted the ability to play, so i told him to get the retron. now he gets to play his games on a poopty old tv, blow in his cartridges, and use his classic controllers

but with the convenience of being able to play both NES and SNES

Super

I don't mind using emulators, but I much prefer to play games on the console they were designed for.  I have emotional attachments to the original consoles, like my SNES and my N64. There's a certain kind of magic in playing on the original poop.
