Definitely, yes! That a completely valid way of preserving games and keeping them playable in modern times.

I think the ps5 will end up being the last console I buy. Probs just going to opt out of Ps6 and onwards.

Also gonna try to make my own handheld SNES emulator.

I stopped buying consoles quite a few years ago, it's only worth it if you want to play console exclusives. There's so many PC exclusive games though that there's always something else to play.

Making your own emulator sounds like a fun project! Are you thinking of a software emulator or FPGA or what?
