- hell yeah, MVG is the MVP of the retro game scene on YT. Glad to see him here, and glad to see him shouting out ShadPS4, which y’all know i am excited about. Mostly because i want to play bloodborne enhanced on PC, but preservation of other games like Last Guardian is also so important. 
- Unironically, to me it was besides RetroArch (I know what it is, its not an emulator in itself, I could discuss this all day long) it was actually Yuzu. That’s because I played BotW and TotK this year on Yuzu. Otherwise its RPCS3, Xemu and Cemu off course. I’m surprised he didn’t mention Xemu at all. - As for BigPEmu, its unfortunately proprietary software. So I’m not going to test it, but wonder how it compares to Virtual Jaguar core in RetroArch. - Are you not using a software out of principle if it’s proprietary? - Not if its not absolutely needed to. In example Steam is a pass, or back then when I was using Nvidia cards the proprietary drivers was a must have too. I even have proprietary drivers installed for the gamepad… (and hate myself for it) BigPEmu is “just” another emulator and I can play the Jaguar games on RetroArch already. So yes, I avoid proprietary software by principle, but do make exceptions. I’m not a purist. I’m still curious to how it compares to my current solution. - As a vegetarian, this kind of reminds me of what I’m going through sometimes. Eating out in particular can be annoying, with most meal options in most restaurants containing meat. - Would you eat something where you don’t know whats inside? For me its like going into a Restaurant and they promise you it will taste wonderful, without telling you whats inside, only showing how it looks from outside. Would you eat it? That’s kind of what a proprietary emulator is for me. And I don’t have much to choose from, unlike vegetarian food (you can even make your own food out of the parts you buy). Sometimes I straight up have no other choice than use proprietary software (like Steam for Steam games, even the games are proprietary…). - I understand the nature of your comparison. We are making a compromise and accept that we have less to choose from, for our greater good and goal.
