Absolutely! Good games, like movies or books, are timeless, and some of the best ones are from past consoles. I know it is a recent phenomena, but it is incredible having a complete game that will never be updated again is refreshing. Having the entire experiencing, bugs and all, without the pyschic burden that you are missing out because the developers are still working on it is nice.

All my Nintendo consoles that can be modded are modded, so Wii(U) and (3)DS (XL)s. Playstation Portable and Vita are modded.

I have a Cannoo somewhere, early emulation handheld. GBA hardware clone. I want to buy a really good SBC for retro gaming, but I am getting caught up on the best screen ratio and trying to keep up with the latest chip sets.

ROMs are great. I treat them like music or any other art. If the original developers and artists are not getting paid, the estate is not getting my money. Nobody should get passive income just because they own the rights to something.
