Well from a technical standpoint no I dont, My entire physical collection I dumped to the SD card so my originals can sit looking pretty in their cases.
However if I wanted to my CD drive is still good so I could play from disc if I so wished.
You will be surprised how many of the games will need converting and CU2 creating.
Like I say not a major task or anything just time consuming compared to say a Everdrive or something where you just drag and drop the rom files!
Of course newer tech is a little more complicated!!
I had dumped my collection to a home NAS over the years, and it seemed like a lot of work, but still is only 30gb. I never soldered before, so thanks to Iron advice I got at the clean mod work thread I was able to get it with little issue. I never really soldered anything before. It took 45 minutes and I watched a few episodes of Tim and Eric's Awesome show while I did it. It was a total longshot, and I figured I would ruin it but it wasn't hard at all.
I used a 7501 that I got new and the drive shit the bed 5 years ago. I still have the box with matching serial numbers and most of the pack-ins.
I only have an 8gb card to use for testing right now. I am trying to learn how the bullshit works with it. I totally expected a certain amount of "enthusiast level options" which is code talk for not quite intuitive, but totally worthwhile. I played some Tony Hawk already, so on a certain level it was all worth it. Eventually I will upgrade the card to a 64gb.
