What's your favorite way to play old games? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I was just thinking about how there's so many ways to play our old favorite games these days: Collecting for original hardware, playing ports and remasters on modern consoles, throwback consoles like the SNES Classic, having a dedicated emulation machine or handheld, etc.

What method works best for you? Has it changed over time?

For me the ideal way to enjoy retro consoles would be a SBC with RetroPie connected to a HDR 4k OLED TV with raster scan emulation. As it stands though I have a 1080p IPS monitor with regular old RetroArch. It's nice, but I hope one day I can afford the most baller setup.
