That being said the purist of the world would say that emulators are simply emulating the hardware and then emulating the software, where the NES Classic is actually running the original hardware with the preloaded original game files. Nothing is actually being emulated since it is the untouched original files.

I'm not that serious into classic games, and to be honest the only NES game to see a decent amount of play time on my pi has been Super Dodge Ball, which in my opinion is one of the best multiplayer games on NES.



I played so much SNES on my PSP that I forgot that new PSP games were being made. I still somewhat regret updating my PSP and losing my emulators back in college.

Does the Pi have a save state feature? I only ask because I could never beat castlevania as a kid but with the classic nes I was finally able to beat it taking advantage of the save options. I love the classic NES but I may pick up a Pi as there are some great games missing on the classic (paperboy, TMNT 2, castlevania 3 etc.) are those Pi things hard to mod?
