Bought my very first PC Engine system

I am pretty pro CRT too, I like the look, but a monitor is totally fine and emulation looks just as good. Honestly some systems are, imo, better via emulation. Newer ones though of course, not stuff like PCE, GEN, SNES etc...

Yeah, Dolphin would be a good example of that, or maybe N64 emulation.

Gotta love 4K resolution and texture filtering on dolphin.

Shame the GameCube didn’t get more games. Ps2 emulation is iffy and Xbox emulation is in the fetus stage

For 3D games, you can get significant upgrades through emulators, like a better internal resolution, texture packs etc... Of course it is better, but it requires quite a lot of tweaking.

It is also better than playing on CRT in 480i. Interlaced is very aggressive, with a lof of "blinking" (not sure if this is the correct word). But 240p is just perfect for our old consoles.

I know that you can output to RGB Scart through VGA adapter. You can build a setup with emulators this way. Might do this one day

I have been playing on a regular basis and really enjoy the console.

Recently I spent quite a lot of time on the excellent Devil's Crash. I also played a lot of Dragon's Fury on MegaDrive, for the sake of comparing both versions, and because both are great.

It is pretty great to be able to use directly headphones with the console (same on MegaDrive). However even on the minimum setting the sound is pretty loud. Still a good thing though.

Also tried some other games. I played Chase HQ. on PCE it is a fine version. Very fast scrolling. Also played Chase HQ II on MegaDrive, pretty good game for the console.

After Burner II and Street Fighter 2 are very impressive ports. SFII displays some great palettes and plays just fine.

Funny you mention them, as those are the other two in my top 3.

I even own a copy of Last Gladiators 9.7.

I almost forgot, there is a hidden table on Last Gladiators. It's really just credits but they are delivered game style as you play pinball. Something worth seeing once for sure. xyzxyzcba↑↑start at the start menu.
