btw. demi, would you recommend using Canoe on the Classic or isn't it even worth bothering with when you can just use libretto cores?
It's preference. I use the default emulator because it's lightweight, and doesn't take space from adding Retroarch. Input Lag is also lower than using Retroarch. Some games do have issues, so you will have to deal with it, but for reference I have like 170 games on my Classic, so the ones that don't work or have issue, I can live without.
Feel free to talk about it in the Random Gaming Talk thread or something if you want more info, would be glad to discuss the Classic and Nintendo's emulator.
