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?

My 3DS and PS Vita cover all the ground for retro gaming that I need, and then some, anything PS2 and beyond I just emulate on my laptop. 3DS is easy enough to hack and the Vita is hands down the easiest hack there has ever been, and those 2 handhelds cover all the best retro games, they’re the bee’s knees.

I might invest in something that can play PS2 and Gamecube games eventually, but it’s not the biggest concern for me.
