Should I download an emulator, or buy the old thing? Just worried about if I'm computer savvy enough to run the emulator, or if the old games and cartridges will shite out on me. What say the Gaming Board?

I personally don't like having to fool with old gameboy and snes cartriges having their save batteries run out.
