Which is why I am soooo glad I have a PS3 with Linux capabilities...YDL 6.1 & The ZeroGameProject FTW!

if i play originals its with original hardware don't get me wrong emulation is great but it cant replace the original i have all the Nintendo's hardware save the wii. i have the PS1 and the PS2, Two Atari's, all the Sega consoles including the SMS. a Wonderswan color.and one NeoGeo. i only have few games for most,
you know im still looking for that land fill where they dumped thousands of Atari cartridges. cant find it any where.
I hear ya man! I will FINALLY be able to pull out/use/display all my consoles I've collected (that have been in storage for the past 4+ years) in a couple months when the townhouse I am buying/building is complete. Especially after being in a 1 bedroom apt for the same amount of time...I really can't wait! But it's not bad having to rely on emu's from either my original Xbox or my PS3/Linux combo though... ;)

I am currently in the MAG beta on PS3 and i can say this....MAG IS WHAT SOCOM:CONFRONTATION, SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND MORE!!!
