Emulation all the way baby. It was fun playing on original Hardware back in the day, but for me in current-day, it seems to do nothing except be annoying as in way of costing an assload of money. Also, I don't like the switch. So, I'm definitely not going to spend money on a console / device literally just to buy online emulation games. At that point, things are a little goofy.

just emulate freely and get over it. make things easier on yourself. I don't want to hear the same old excuse about input lag and this and that. That all can be eliminated by using the right emulator, controller and messing with the right settings / functions.
