Went for a two-hour research binge into Nintendo emulation on mobile devices because I got frustrated at people saying "just buy the mobile ports, that's the easiest way", ignoring that having money can be one kind of an accessibility barrier and that most computer stuff is easy to do if you've got someone who can walk you through it step by step. Which I can.

I also wanna take that one shitpost about Safety Absols and draw an Absol with appropriate safety gear. That hardhat is not even secure. Where's their reflective vest.

Oh yeah, and emulator is basically just a piece of software pretending to be the console. Older consoles up to the PS1 generation have been pretty thoroughly emulated, if you have a decent computer you can run GBA/NDS emulator pretty easy. Even my old computer could do it. I've also been looking into mobile emulators, but haven't yet had a chance to try out them -- if you're on Android, you might wanna look up an EmuBox tutorial on YT, they explain it better than I do :D

I actually have the SoulSilver ROM, I can drop a link to my EMU bundle on OD. It's as simple as unpacking the thing, running the emulator exe and opening the ROM image. I recall it running kinda bad on NoCash, my preferred emulator, but I don't remember it crashing or anything like that.

Sadly my PC is out of commission until I can replace everything but the graphics card. Which might take a while as I’m trying to get a house with my boyfriend. But as soon as I can sort that I will definitely take you up on this because I’d love to be able to play some of those games again. :D
