Personally... achievements are the one thing I really don't want in old games. Don't need that dopamine.

@such I thought the same at one point. But I saw it had this thing called hardcore mode, which turns off most emulator advantages such as save states and rewinds. It still lets you use fast forward so you can skip cutscenes with it (thank goodness).
And I've had a lot more fun with it then I thought I would.
And hardcore mode is good way to keep the temptation of save states. Which does develop a bad habit of using it if you get annoyed at a game.
I would say give it a go. And if it truly isn't for you, then you will know for certain. I thought I wouldn't like it either.

I've heard of it, and I care for hardcore mode even less, hah.
These days if I'm playing with software emulation I do want those save states, but I'm much happier in the original hardware rabbit hole. So, with the N64 I do want the fuzz, with the PSX I absolutely do not want Z-buffer fixes and so on. Achievements rip me out of that experience kind of like a 4x render of an old game would.
