The path I took to realizing I could just play any old retro video game right here on my old 2009 iMac was a bit more convoluted than it needed to be, but, hey, sometimes life is a bit more convoluted than it needs to be. For example, it wasn’t until I won a flat screen tv while watching the 2020 Super Bowl at my local pub that I started thinking about maybe getting an old video game system to hook up to our first tv in years, which led to me discovering that they now make mini consoles that come loaded with a bunch of games, which led to me discovering that you could also hack those mini consoles to add any games you want, which led to me ordering a Sega Mini right before the global pandemic kicked in and we all went into quarantine mode, which led to me going deep into the rabbit holes of mini console hacking and retro video game Youtube, which led to me writing blog posts about how to hack a Sega Mini and creating lists of games that I find enjoyable to play as an old millennial in the 2020s.
And because hacking my Sega Mini involved me getting a whole sh*t tonne of roms on my computer + getting a USB controller that could work for PS1/PSP and below consoles — I eventually got around to wondering if/how I could play these games on my Mac (although, I first wondered a lot about if it was possible to somehow hook my Sega Mini up to my iMac as an external monitor, because I am an idiot).
