No actually, that's about right. I used to have a big contrived setup downstairs with a CRT and a bunch of old consoles but even with a decent cross-section of good games for all of the mainline systems, there's just so many games to get still. I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life hunting down obscure games and JP-only hardware and finally took the emulation pill permanently. I even ran a big long HDMI cable to my TV before I realized that I really don't prefer using the TV.
I will say--I am still interested in getting like, a Mister Pi just for playing games on a CRT sometimes, but only 8 and 16 bit games benefit from that. Duckstation makes PS1 games look so fucking good and I can't see any good reason to bother with PS2 on a CRT, those games upres so well too. Anyway I resold all of the games but kept the CRT because we watch a tape down there every once in a great while. It's a big 32" Trinitron in its own wood cabinet though, not some gay ass broadcast monitor.

Are you using the nightly build? I still encounter weirdness sometimes and a very select few of games--like Stuntman--do not work correctly. But if you so much as touched PCSX2 5-10 years ago, you know how far it has come. The majority of the work is done, it's just tweaks at this point. As much personal nostalgia as I have for the PS2, I don't find myself playing that many PS2 games though. I feel like I've mostly played OutRun 2006 and NBA Street Vol 2, and if it weren't for the sake of my saved progress I would just play that fixed up PC port of OutRun. Duckstation is a marvel though, I feel like the PS1 is truly a uniquely great platform with an awesome library.
