  1. I was imprsssed with the mac os 9 emulator. i had bad luck with browser based emulators so far .even simple 8 bit systems where laggy. it was really impressive to play warcraft 2 without lag i always wanted to try it. the zxspectrum one was good too but i am not used to the controls on that system. they used a different layout compared to modern pc games i wish i had accesses to the manuals. i heard most zx spectrum users used a joystick because the zx spectrum keyboard was bad. the atari st emulator looked good but it has no games included. but i love the ui on the atari st that was a huge leap forwards compared to dos impressive for 1985. and the vic 20 emulator is not very intuitive. it says i need to put my volume higher. i don't know how to do it. it has no option to change it on the tape player. the zx 81 emulator seemed perfect but its the most primitive system on here.

  3. The zx 81 was not that expensive but it was also not powerful but the. macs you can emulate on here where way too expensive. but you could run photoshop on there and other revolutionary things. but i am comparing 80s with 90s.

  5. ogg vorbis is underrated if you got low storage it still sounds great at low bit rates when mp3 sounds horrible. i think it required more cpu power compared to mp3 but both are very old so unless you are using a flipphone from the 2000s or a pc from the 90s it doesn't matter but i used it on my phone for podcasts since they are long and my pervious phone has low storage. my current one has high storage but i am sure i will have storage issues in the future since future versions of android will take up all your storage anyway
