Your computer may very well get obsolete when it comes to software support.
A handheld or console meant to be an emulation console won’t have to move through time. It’ll be as it is after the day you’re done setting it up, like a hacked console.
Your PC has to keep up with web standards, codecs, online goings on but dedicated, offline devices do not. I may choose an SBC to do this to, and make a copy of the partition housing the emulators and boot drive for safe keeping.
I also have two different raspberrypi emulation images. Since those are literally everywhere, it’s a sure bet you’ll be able to find one to put the sd card into, even years from now.
Just don’t play Nintendo games lol. That’s what I do. I didn’t grow up with these ‘classics’ and I don’t feel like getting into these as an adult. 🤷♂️
Get a device or two, as well.
