I spent the whole day flashing the MiyooCFW firmware onto it, customizing the menus, and testing which games ran well and which didn't (and constantly trying and failing to get Doom to run on it); I think I'm pretty happy with the end results now.

That's a fair assessment, though I personally believe there should be a distinction between "previous generation" and "retro". When the PS3 was a current-gen console, the PS2 and PS1 weren't really seen as retro, just old and outdated.

Then again, I guess it's a distinction without much of a difference. ^^"

If we look only at the word retro alone, we see, that is very loosely defined 😂

So, all consoles that were used in the timeframe of 20 years starting between 1995 and 2005 🤪 Which consoles are those, and does this imply that the earliest consoles are now not retro anymore? Are they now “ancient consoles”? Is then ancientgaming? 🤔😆

Not ancient, but “vintage”. 😂

I mean, I could look at an NES as a vintage electronic device here in 2024.
