RetroArch

ive made use of oldskool emulating for years but found retro arch to be the most useful and helpful front end to group all emulator cores you choose to download in one place. works with controler or mouse,research it first before tinkering but it can be quite easy to use once you get your head around the folders and so on, and if you get stuck just google how to do it with 'reddit' on the end-chances are its been asked already, this is what i do a lot. one of the best tools out there. i personaly prefer the standalone version but thats of no complaint to steam, i just prefer the choice of emu cores. i also have retro arch on a high end snap dragon based mobile phone thats almost of higher power than my PC (and can be used as a PC), its an android based mobile,retro arch is a great and versatile front end in my opinion.

I got this so I could experience 1997 Blood in its original state (with all the bugs) without paying 30 bucks for the remaster yet. I love it. It's the only game i emulate on it regularly. I also tried the DOS version of Quake. But I would recommend it in general for retro emulation. There are multiple systems you can emulate. Again, I only tried DOSBox but it works great. I'm trying to come up with more stuff to say but I can't. Basically, you can find old game files on the internet archive, then you can emulate them as they were originally played. I wasn't even alive during the era of a lot of these games, so its nice that I can use this and play them with the added jank of modern hardware not running it properly sometimes. Yeah. It's certainly an awkward review but I felt the need to recommend it. It's fun.
