@Dethmunk Games with lag are playable or Raspberry Pies ! But they don't feel the same.
And you will notice it only when you compare to the originals.

A very good exemple : I was playing yesterday SF3 on Switch (docked). It was great ! And suddenly, I decided to play it on Dreamcast (through my DCDigital). This was NOT the same gameplay : characters were far more responsiv, they seemed to jump easily. I went back on Switch (still docked) and nope, that feeling was gone. Jumping felt so heavy.
There you go : Switch version is perfectly playable and enjoyable. But as every modern console has lag (especially docked Switch), I had faaaar more pleasure playing the lagless Dreamcast version.

It's the same for emulation VS MiSTer FPGA.

I've bought a MiSTer this holiday season and for the record, I found it far more easy to configure than a Rasperry Pi.
The first installation is almost the same (find the right files, copy them on your SD card) but after that it's far more easy : one click on "update_all" and all the job is done for you. It will always be up to date.
Configurations of cores and controllers are far more intuitiv than with Recalbox or Retropie.

And the MiSTer menu is flawless : responsiv, no slowdowns, ... Again, far from Recalbox or Retropie.
