I have a 360 with an rgh mod and a 2tb HDD in it… It’s fucking amazing! I have it running running Aurora and I’ve got literally every single game on 360 worth giving a shit about.
I also have an old PS3 running HEN (soft mod - works on every revision and every firmware) on it, that I keep around exclusively for PlayStation exclusives
Right? I still have my OG Xbox 360, Wii U etc, with physical discs.
For a while, I went the other way; I bought a Lenovo M93p (think: size of Wii) - it runs everything up to PS2 era at 2x resolution, as well as PC games to around 2015/6 era (and later indies). Total cost was under $100. I turned it into a kiosk with Playnite, so you could turn it on and be playing whatever in under 10 seconds.
Right now I have the OG Wii (modded) sitting in its place…something about the joys of original hardware speaks to me. But I could (should) swap the lenovo back in. That way I have Just Cause 2 sitting right next to Mario Kart Double Dash, right next to Luanti and modded Fallout 3.
Part of me thinks “eh, emulation” but the other part is “dude…not everything is Nintendo”.
I do hope people realise that 7th gen and earlier consoles are still fucking awesome. Yes, that’s PS3/Xbox360/Wii/GBA/DS era.
Some of those still have lively homebrew scenes. Hell, the Wii just got a new (physical) release game.

Reject modernity. Embrace retro.

7th Gen is God tier!
