j0@lethallava.land@zebo like how do you make sure the average person can setup an emulator or whatever. how do you make retro gaming as accessible as buying a book or a dvd

@j0 I think a governed public old video game library is one of the coolest ideas ever.

@j0 i’d help out at a museum where people could see both final and prototype versions of games and give talks about them
like for instance i’d do a talk on glitches, speedrun tech, and in depth stuff that’s easy to understand but gets the point across well too
also a hands on area with a bunch of game consoles that allows a MASSIVE library of games including all the rare stuff, probably raspberry pi arcade cabinets and the works
anyways yeah i would KILL to do something like this because its dream interest and best job ever rolled into one, may have gone slightly off the topic but you know what i mean!! game museums please and thanks (alternatively retro game reproductions would be so cool too, and having laws that would mean that consoles would have to have backwards compatibility/access to emulated old games unless there’s a REALLY specific reason, and even then they should release the games that can’t be emulated as freeware)
