I’ve been pretty consistent in using my grey Japanese Saturn with a Satiator, as I enjoy the ritual of sitting down in front of a TV to play. Sometimes I’ll play on my Retroid Pocket 3+, but not often.
I love to keep the option of using physical discs open, and like Yakumo I’ll hopefully never sell the small collection I’ve amassed since 2000, mostly US and JPN titles.
I run that all through an RGB Scart cable to a Retrotink5x, and I love every second of it. If I had to do it all over again from scratch, I’d probably just emulate, or get a Saturn and use a satiator or other. Too pricey these days for my blood.
