My guess is the issue with the older case would be more so thermals. With the size of modern GPUs I wouldn’t be surprised if I ran into some issues though.
SFF computers are crazy. I had a HP Compaq for my first “gaming PC” (4 GB of RAM and a 32 bit CPU in 2016). As expected it struggled to run most things. Still, for its age and tiny ass size it did really well with things I wouldn’t expect it too
Unfortunately they don’t grow out of it. I have a friend who still spends upwards of hundreds of dollars on games, especially Gacha games. It’s an addiction that i worry won’t be stopped
I’ve always thought about trying it out, and i think at one point i tried it for a few seconds but something just felt off? I want to give it another try though some day
My PC isn’t anything special. I was cheap about the case (if i had my way though i wanted to put it in a old Beige PC case). Specwise it’s a Ryzen 7 3700x, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a Radeon RX 7600 XT. It’s enough to run most modern games on Medium without breaking the bank.
I think in total it cost me around 900$? I remember i got the CPU really cheap (one of the pins were bent and i had to straighten it out) and the GPU i got a good deal on too.
That’s my suggested way of playing the games (unless you’re looking to try and get closer too the original hardware with filters and stuff). The QOL features really make it worth it
Ooh, yeah, now that you mention it those are two other consoles i try to avoid emulating. I have a 3DS i still use regularly, but man, it does suck that there’s no comfortable way to play the DS/3DS games emulated on a PC
The QOL are definitely what makes it worth it. The only console I prefer OG hardware is probably the Wii and N64, and only because there’s not really a uniform way to capture the controls. Even then, there’s adapters for both controllers (I just don’t have any) and for N64 most games you can work around the controls in some capacity with only a little jank
Ooh, that is an interesting idea. Isn’t 8’s version of the map a little different? Maybe after 21 years, at some point the expansion is finished and that’s actually what we’re driving on
I do actually own original hardware, it’s a bit of a headache to setup though so I really only use it for situations where I feel like its controls are really needed or just special occasions. So usually I emulate.
I chose Lemmy because I liked how small the community was if that makes any sense? Like, I won’t complain if it gets bigger, but there’s something nice about refreshing the page a few hours later and instead of getting an onslaught of new posts to consume, it’s just a few new posts stacked on top of the old ones from before.
I guess if I had to summarize it, Lemmy feels a lot less like it’s trying to shove content down my throat which I appreciate. It makes interactions a bit rarer for me, but also makes them feel a bit more authentic
Doing these screenshots definitely has helped to give me a clear goal when completing games. Before i used to bounce around my backlog and not finish anything. Hell, i still do it from time to time lol
I really struggle to remember weaknesses and tips. I just figured out at least that I don’t need to cast Assess every time, I can just hit select which makes things far easier
I borrowed the original from my local library but had to send it back during Chapter 7. A few Steam sales ago though I picked it up again because I really enjoyed it
