I'd love to set up emulation on my phone but I don't have a controller for my phone and I have a Steam Deck for portable emulation. Still, using the actual hardware is ideal, I just wish I knew where my DS and its charger went!
When I moved from Canada to the UK, my now wife and I had our very first actual fight. She didn't understand why I wasn't willing to give away or sell off my game collection. I have NES, SNES, N64, OG Xbox, 360, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Vita, GB-DMG, GBC, GBA, DS and 3DS. With a load of games for each one. It was when she was helping do research on reasonable value for all of them for insurance to ship it all she finally got why I wasn't willing to sell it and try and rebuild the collection over here.
Yeah, a lot of people don't seem to understand just how valuable our retro game collection can be. A lot of people think it's just about holding onto the past, but it's more than that. Not to mention the fact that the games you really loved for the consoles you really loved can hold very deep sentimental value that you shouldn't be forced to give up.
