>Just downloaded completed romsets of every console pre 2006
>will never touch them
maybe one day... when the internet is dead i'll try them... haha.. to relive the good ole' days..

What pre-2006 games are worth playing?
The first game my parents bought me was Spore.

I too would like to someday get over my crippling porn and social media addictions so I could play a video game again.

GenX and Millenials were unbelievably fucking slow to adopt emulation even though they had ample computers.

What are you talking about? Everyone was running ZSNES before the zoomers were even born.

>>724844192 (OP)
You paid for that, anon?

I know, right? Newfags these days think they're hardcore stealing video games but they're too much of a pussy to steal their computer hardware too.

Preservation is important.

I too download games in every region that isn't in my main language.

>>724844349
Exactly. I Tyrone all my HDDs

Even if everything is compressed to CHD it wouldn't be.

Don't giant hard drives make REALLY horrible noises, as soon as you have anything bigger than 4TB?

>>724844801
By pre 2006 he probably meant no 360 either. PS2 collection is the biggest one and it's only about 14TB as far as I can tell.

anyone here use laptops to emulate?

>>724844836
Only if you're running shit all the time and its honestly not even that loud but probably because I have rubber HDD bumpers on mine to suppress the vibrations a bit. Just move shit do an SSD if you plan on running stuff. HDDs are just storage only these days.

>>724844836
I have a 6tb for file storage and dont have issues

>>724844836
Noise comes from the increased number of heads and plates. I wouldn't associate it with storage size.

Only morons do that. If datahoarding then sure go for full romsets. Otherwise all nontards build from zero or start with tiny set.

>>724844192 (OP)
28TB??? Are they really that big these days? Holy moly I need to upgrade now

>>724844192 (OP)
For the brief moment Nintendo was cracking down on emulation sites a while back I began downloading roms and storing them on harddrives. Ended up just finding alternative sites that are still up to this day.

>>724845847
There's value in datahoarding. The collapse of the internet as we know it is probably right around the corner. It's smarter to get this archived now if you can before it's impossible in a few years.

>>724844349
What the fuck are you talking about? Literally been emulatin since the 90s even when I had to go to the public library with a floppy disk to use the internet to download roms to play on ZSNES and nesticle because I didn't have the internet at home.

>>724845937
I think all of the huge drives like this are filled with helium, which has a tendency of leaking out over time.

Who is forcing this generational war meme I’m seeing all the time now? Also I was playing nesticle on computers at school in the 90s

>>724844836
Only if you get enterprise drives, NAS drives are very quiet, but I can tell when my 1 enterprise drive is running.

>>724845937
They could go higher right now if they could but the current issue as it stands are we're physically reaching a hard cap for storage as we can't build them any higher after a certain point. The other reason is storage companies don't give a shit for data hoarder as they're the only people who actually need or use that much space and only in few numbers compared to normalfags who always stream their shit and probably only use less than 1TB of storage space.

Bloating up modern games and modern OS is the only way to get normalfags to start caring about more storage space.

Millennials.
If you think I'm full of shit, go into the archive and look at how much more the word "zoomer" has been posted compared to "millennial."
They also pushed the "boomers bad" meme. They're making sure to fight a war on all fronts to ensure that nobody likes them.
Gen Z are just pushing back. We just wanted to have a chill time, but the old faggots started crying about us for no discernible reason.

>>724844192 (OP)
I do this, but I make a million copies and buy new drives and storage every couple years. Need to make sure my data never gets corrupted. It's expensive living outside of the cloud. Good luck kid.
