Ok, Holla Forums, what should i buy?
The gamecube, dreamcast, original xbox or the psp?
Which one is easier to crack?
Which one has better games?
And remember, i can only buy one of them.
What console to buy?
if you want to play gamecube, get a Wii instead. 480p support costs 5 bucks compared to $300. Plus you can read from SD or use usb and an external hard drive to get the most of your system. Backup loading on GC on the other hand? Much more annoying. Wii hacking is also extremely easy.
Xbox hacking is a bit more hands on, but the system has a bigger library than the GC, and lots of hidden gems on the platform, there's even a decent number of people here who have a lot of interest in the system.
Dreamcast is very easy, iirc it's just burn a CD-R, pop it in. You can also get a GD-emu device, which is the best solution, but is a bit expensive.
PSP is also great, and very easy.
I have a hard time saying which is best. Look through the libraries of the systems yourself, get a feel for what they can do, as far as things like homebrew and emulation, and decide from there.
I personally like the Xbox a lot.
The one you can't emulate
GC emulation is near perfect at this point so buy any of the others.
XBOX has no emulator
Dreamcast has no emulator either (I think).
Both have good games, so both should be worth buying. Flip a coin.
PS2 has the best and most games.
The Gamecube is really easy to emulate.
Xbox and Dreamcast are alright.
I'd go with the Ps2, they're also cheap as fuck.
Dreamcast, if you get the first model
Completely depends on taste. GC and PSP can be emulates, DC can barely be emulated, and Xbox can't be emulated at all. DC has a small library full of good, exclusive titles, but Xbox has a lot of exclusives as well.
DC or Xbox, basically. Xbox is huge as fuck, so if space is a problem, I'd be wary of that. If you really like hacking your tech and upgrading the hardware, go with the Xbox. Both have VGA support, so you can use it on a computer monitor for a better picture
DC has emulators, but none are good. Not sure why, though
emulation is far from the be-all-end-all, and original hardware is always better. Plus, he asked for which one to get.
Thanks for the info. I really am not sure which one to buy.
Emulation isn't really an option because my pc is a horrible toaster that could barely run most last-gen games at 30 fps on the lowest settings.
i'm a poor fag
also, i am pretty sure the dreamcast has atleast 2 different emulators
I already have the ps2.
And that's completely up to taste. Not one of these are the right answer
Outside of not buying any of them, get a DC and make sure its the model 1
