I think getting all the consoles I want and flashcarts (or homebrew exploits) for all of them made me forget that sometimes I actually just have a lot more fun with a game when I play it in an emulator and have access to savestates/rewind.
Some of my flashcarts are fancy enough to have savestates but at least on my Mega EverDrive PRO it doesn't seem like it works as well as I'd want.
There's games I've been wanting to finish for a long time but which punish failure hard enough that they've just been too intimidating to get back to and I never got around to more. But at that point just enjoying the game becomes more important than experiencing it on the console.
