It irks me that there are so many retro/vintage gaming channels but almost no channels that focus on emulation. There was Simply Austin but he seems to only upload once a year now. MVG sometimes covers emulation but it's not the main subject of his channel. That other ginger beard guy only has a surface level knowledge about emulation.
Worse, there are a lot of retro gaming channels that spread a lot of negative misinformation about emulation. These are mostly channels that focus on physical game collecting. They will tell you how bad emulation is compared to any other methods of playing old games, even including stuff like FPGAs, while using the worst emulators or the worst emulation devices or just badly configured emulators to demonstrate. In almost all cases they don't even do it on purpose, they are just misinformed themselves and have no knowledge, yet they still try to educate you which is even worse.
YouTube has a massive amount of information for almost every subject or hobby. It's weird to me how emulation, which isn't that niche of a subject, isn't well represented in this platform.
