I just looked an ODE Optical drive emulator up as i did not know what it was,From what i read you have to be knowlageable to so, all what you say.Probably PS1/PSX or/and Sega Saturn
If done well minis are cool to mess around with for a week. Then you go back to emulators.
Best thing is ODE lately. Optical drive emulators. You replace the cdrom drive with an sd card reader and boots to a menu load games that way. I have one for dreamcast and saturn. Cant beat Real hardware

It's a little bit of work not hard for anyone of us here on this forum. Just have to be careful installing them.I like the PS2 and ps3.Of course there are so many consols about
I was looking at the XBOX 360 but heard there could be problems with them.

Heres a utube video from our old mate Clint i don,t know anything about it Sega dreamcast that is.Sega Dreamcast! and N64 if only code for the Sega Saturn wasn't complex to write for
I get your point thereIt's a little bit of work not hard for anyone of us here on this forum. Just have to be careful installing them.

Looking at Clint,s video i thought the same thing about the controller it is weirdHard for me to pin it down but I do like a PS3 along with my old SNES - PS1 and 2 are also faves of mine too and you can bet I've got a few good games for all of them.
To me it's the games that makes the console good, not just the console itself but also, things like the controller of a console can make or break it for me.
As an example, even though I do have a Dreamcast, the controller seems "Weird"/bulky in my hands and it's unfortunate in my case - I could get used to it I believe but there is still something about it that gets uncomfortable after awhile and I just have to put it down.
Speaking of the controller I do have 2 VMU's for it and got those when I bought the console from a local gameshop (Mod shop) years ago (1998) for the total sum of $80.... That's console, the controller AND VMU's all together when I got it.
Still works fine to this day.
I also have (Actually it's the wife's but she never really played it) an original Xbox that works fine but again, the controller for it isn't as comfortable (To me) as others like what's made for a Sony based console - It's not that far off from a Sony's but still different so I'd have to say the Sony controller is the best to me personally.
ATM my PS3 is being used because I can use it with my monitor and so on making it VERY convenient for me and yes, it's the monitor I'm using now to post this.
I just kick back, turn it on, turn on my old PC speaker system and it's gametime with things like Gran Turismo 5 for example.
For my older stuff (Consoles) I have my old 27' CRT TV setup right next to where I am now, making this room "My Space" for whatever.
I will give the Xbox 360 a miss as i have seen a lot of problems with it.I don,t know anything about the game cube or any of the other consols apart from PS2 and PS3The PS2 was pure kino, and peak gaming. The SNES has such a rich library though, and the xbox 360 while unreliable did give us halo 3 and MW1/2/Bops. And battlefield bad company 2.
My personal favorite was the plucky gamecube. so many good games that never left the platform.

The SNES is good, it's controller is comfortable to hold and use, not that complicated either with all the controls in a good spot for your use.Looking at Clint,s video i thought the same thing about the controller it is weird

. I will give it a miss as the games are to exspencive

Thanks for all that. BonesThe SNES is good, it's controller is comfortable to hold and use, not that complicated either with all the controls in a good spot for your use.
Even the old NES isn't that bad, just not as good as the SNES but still more than just manageable.
The original Xbox console controller is a little off from others but not that bad either, at least the controls of the stock controller are in a good place to use.
The Dreamcast has them as described, weird and kinda odd to use but I'd have to say if you can get used to it, it's probrably OK in the end - I just can't get used to it myself but that's a personal thing.
