It's honestly good advice, but I much prefer original hardware when possible. (lemmy.world)

There’s something relaxing about swapping carts on a SNES.

And booting up an OS, running the emulator, and selecting a save state just ruins the experience of playing a retro console.

Why would you swap carts when all you need is Super Mario World?

Uh... Secret of Mana? Super Metroid? Fucking Chrono Trigger!?

Sadly my SNES tends to reset games when jostled, so it's gotten a little less relaxing for me.

Emulators won't do that to you.
