I'll have to mess with virtual machines someday. Looks like a fun rabbit hole.
My wife never got rid of her college PC (2003 Dell OptiPlex). Runs all my Win 3.1/95/98 games flawlessly.

Anyone here has experience emulating VMU games? I thought I vaguely remembered doing it before, but I can't seem to find how. I'm looking for a way to emulate the games you can download onto your VMUs from within the main game directly - that is, something that would run them from the .bin VMU files that also work as memory cards for the emulators. I see that there's an emulator that can run VMU game dumps directly, but I don't know if the games I want to try (the ones you find in Rent A Hero No. 1) have been dumped in that way. I don't see them in collections.

Good thing I don't download it through Steam. Absolutely ridiculous, Nintendo needs to quit burning through their good will.

"Windows is now an app for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Linux PCs / Microsoft has created a new ‘Windows App’ for accessing its OS on a variety of devices, possibly signaling broader ambitions."www.theverge.com/2023/11/16/23963568/microsoft-windows-app-ios-ipados-macos-webI'm assuming if you can run Windows as an app, then you can run Windows console/handheld emulators within said Windows app. This could be useful for some retro gamers out there.

Sometimes I take it for granted that all older games are just going to be emulated near perfection, so it's disappointing when I get interested in a game and find out that's not the case. Two PS2 games I was thinking of playing soon have issues - one has out-of-sync audio and relatively minor graphical glitches during FMV cutscenes, and the other has somewhat frequent slowdowns, as reported by pretty much all users regardless of system. I wouldn't say either necessarily makes the games unplayable - the slowdowns in the part I tried weren't that bad, but who knows how bad it could get later on as the intensity ramps up? And how bad the out-of-sync audio could get if there turns out to be a lot of FMVs in the other game? So I don't know. They're always working on new versions of PSCX2, but these issues have been known for years, so it's unlikely it'll change soon. I'd just buy the games on Steam if there were proper ports, but nah. Too bad there are still no real alternatives to PSCX2, either.
