@keiichiface That's entirely valid. It's the same as when I watch a speedrun yet know I wouldn't want to speedrun myself. I much prefer the answer of it not being appealing or not wanting to play it over accessibility excuses and I think that's where any of my actual frustration lies.
@keiichiface Oh I don't have a problem with that! I watch my friends play video games/stream for them pretty often. I'm just baffled at the idea of fully refusing to play them if given the opportunity if that makes sense?
@lanarthu I was 8 running Gens on the family Windows 98 computer because we didn't have a Windows XP computer until maybe 2003. If I could figure that shit out at age 8 in the early 00s there's no excuse for teens/adults today.
@fazbearband@steveraybsmith Honestly if your phone is from the past 5 years, DS/3DS are perfectly doable too. You *could* do GameCube or PS2, but it might not be comfortable unless you have a controller and you have to keep the disk space in mind. PC is definitely better for those consoles.
@ozzyplozzy@bobbysmithshush@SUPERBLOWFLY I understand watching let's plays of those games, and if someone chooses to do so then that's whatever, but I don't see it as a replacement for playing the game. I think watching something and playing it yourself are very different experiences.
@ozzyplozzy@bobbysmithshush@SUPERBLOWFLY If you have a device that can handle the YouTube app, then you have a device that can handle at least everything made before the Xbox 360/PS3 and can likely also handle Nintendo 3DS + PS Vita. The only thing you're missing in that case that has a mobile emulator is Switch.
@ozzyplozzy@bobbysmithshush@SUPERBLOWFLY Then use something else, I don't know what to tell you. I do most of my emulation on PC if I'm not just using flash carts or modded consoles.
@naxzed_it@archyisanalt3 I have no idea what phone someone has without asking lol. Test on whatever you're on, it's not a hard concept to test your own hardware.
@archyisanalt3 Test it yourself then because I don't have one. I have a Pixel 7 Pro and I've had no issues emulating games on it. That being said I don't do much emulation with it because I own a PC.
@archyisanalt3 Okay then, don't use an iPhone. It's much easier to emulate on Android anyway lmao. The person asked about iOS so I sent a link about iOS.
@bobbysmithshush@SUPERBLOWFLY You mean these? Here they are both running on iOS and the videos are months old so the emulator has likely only gotten better.
