there's the charm of playing in original hardware without having to deal with the original storage medium.

There are better alternatives to CDs, might as well use them. It is no different than using a flashcart.

But if you're buying a retro console just to emulate half the games, why not emulate the whole thing and just buy a modern USB version of the controller?
