tbh the wonders of the Feral PC Army include several groups writing console emulators. I am successfully running: Wii, Wii U, Switch, OG Xbox and PS3 emulators as we speak. I understand Xbox 360 and PS4 are also out there, but I haven't got 'round to them yet.

Interestingly, a lot of media for these emulators is just kind of laying around on the internet for anybody to download.

360 might be the single most buggy emulator I play. Shit runs on thoughts and prayers

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 25 minutes ago

So it the perfect Xbox 360 emulator?

I dont even have a disk drive on my self build PC and my next Laptop won't have either. I let other people built physical media storages. And some of em put them on torrent/Usenet/etc.

There are also competing digital market spaces. You can only buy through Sony on PlayStation.

I mean, it has to be worth cracking in the first place.

Fuck off with that nazi shit.

Yes PCs are fine. “Master race” is not fine.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 3 points 1 hour ago

You need help.

Also, on pc, anyone who wants a physical media are free to create them as they please (assuming no drm or piracy, of course)

[–] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 hours ago

GoG is the best place for offline installers

What a weird argument. People preserve all the digital games on consoles, too. The only somewhat fair argument would be that it's slightly easier to preserve games on PC, but really both have their own challenges. On PC you're fighting DRM, on consoles you're fighting the OS security to break in.

The only real excuse for digital only is DRM free, where you can backup your installers.

You need a PC crack to the console so check mate atheist. Edit: also I'm just playing.
