Are you retarded? You're not gonna output 240p, you're gonna output whatever renders on your laptop. The emulators deal with the upscaling, what cable you use doesn't even matter.
No, playing with an emulator is like putting a condom before the fucking. It's something you setup up before you start playing but afterwards it's pretty much the same. The "console experience" is massively overrated, I had a PSX, PS2, a Wii and now a PS3 besides my PS, I know what the "console experience" is.
Besides, what actual sounds like more work to you? Setting up your laptop to emulate games and connect it to your living room tv? Or hunting down for spare parts for an old console and replace them manually on your own?

I don't think you understand 240p.

What's the fucking difference? Even though i only buy physical copies to my consoles, i still have to spend half an hour install the goddam game. It's stupid, consoles were never mean't to be fucking computers, all i want is to play the game, there's storage enough on the disc to play the awful fucking game, so let me just plug it in and play.
Bunch of kikes. Gas them all.
And any moron that continues to feed Steam with money should fucking off themselves. Fucking mongoloids, you're buying products you don't own. Would you go to a supermarket to buy milk and then let them keep it in the store and you could pick up that box of milk and drink out of it anytime the store was open? No, because it's retarded. It's a kikery-way of selling goods without really selling them and you're financing that shit.

Emulators are OK if you just want to play the games. Especially with the NES, where it's accurate enough. You'll probably want to fix your NES anyway, because it's still nice to play on the original hardware. If you want a modern NES equivalent, there's a company that makes them. They're fucking expensive though: analogue.co/pages/nt-mini The cart loading mechanism is what fails on a NES first. Some people just replace it with a version without moving parts, like in kickstarter.com/projects/113891498/blinking-light-win-resurrecting-your-nes Cheapest way to get a NES that won't fuck up is the toploader though.

I'm honestly not real sure why discs and carts even have forced installations, unless some of the game is compressed to make sure it all fits on the disc/cart or something (and thus requiring decompression and installation to use)? I know that sometimes doing an install that option has a noticeable improvement, but so many games have mandatory from-disc/cart-installs that you'd never see a difference since you can't even play them without doing so.
Andrew Green
do you know anything about HDD swap?
Levi Allen
Some games don't even have the game anymore. See THPS5 and the fact that the only thing on the disc is the tutorial. I wouldn't be surprised if other devs did the same.
Eli Reed
That's becoming more and more standard. I see them on game boxes at WalMart all the time, where it says the box only contains an activation code. Bethesda games usually only have about 1/10th of the data you need, and the rest must be downloaded from online. It probably won't be long before console games end up like that too.

Metal gear Solid V only has the launcher on the disk

Yeah, I seem to recall some physical release of one of the Marvel vs. games on the PS3 was just a box for your shelf with a download voucher inside. I suppose in the cases where a game has a required install and also has a digital version you can maybe tell how much is actually on the disc, but I still kind of think those install from disc ordeals are decompressing files rather than a download from online (the way a forced update would be). I could be wrong though.
Actually just checked something for myself. How the fuck does Tales of Zestiria PS3 require 10 GBs of hard drive space for the physical disc version, yet the PSN digital version apparently only has a size of 8.7 GB? Or is this a matter of that being the downloaded size and not the "unzipped and installed" one?
