I guess the main question is where do you draw the line for “somewhat newer stuff”? 5th gen consoles only (and then which one) or even newer?
And what screen size are you looking for?

This is awesome. Radiant Silvergun isn’t my most played shmup to date but it’s definitely so so unique, I really enjoy it.
I certainly think romhacks/patches are a major benefit to older gen titles and I’m somewhat concerned we’ll lose that with newer gens.
You’re absolutely right, only the AGS 101 is backlit, my mistake!
Many options exist, depending on your budget:
There’s also a handful of other options (GameCube GB Player, SNES Super GameBoy, etc), but that’s likely more consoles and accessories for you to purchase so I didn’t mention those in detail.
Simple Alarm Clock.
Extremely reliable during the ~10 months I’ve used it so far and it is indeed simple enough.
You’re kinda in the perfect “target demographic” for the 5X with a PS2 in a way, but it’s a matter of how much flickering bothers you or not, and whether or not the higher output res, more features, etc, is worth the price or not.
Again, both options are absolutely great and you wouldn’t go wrong with either!
Are you using scanlines per chance? Because otherwise the amount of flickering produced via bob deinterlacing is extremely distracting tbh.
This will be dependent on a few things:
I can personally vouch for the OSSC as a great entry point, however there’s a caveat - if you’ll be mostly playing PS2 / inputting interlaced content and you have the budget for it, you might want to consider the RetroTink 5X, as the OSSC’s bob deinterlacing is not up to par IMO. The 5X is well worth it for that reason alone, otherwise they are both great options.
Assuming it’s nothing to do with your Dreamcast’s laser (in which case you might need to adjust it to get it going, but realistically replace it altogether), have you looked into getting the disc itself resurfaced?
If this hasn’t been done before, this would likely be the first thing to attempt before considering getting a new copy tbh. Many local game shops still have the machines for it and can do that for very little money.
Retrogaming wise, I'm playing Parasite Eve! I'm usually not one for Halloween themed games/movies/anything either, but I've been enjoying it greatly.
I’ve been using this fork for a little while now (since v4, so about a month altogether?) and apart from having to re-enable my “custom language keyboard” (French QWERTY) after every update, I honestly have no complaints.
Autocompletion is miles ahead of offline Gboard for my use case (switching between English and French constantly).
Great collection! I’m really jealous of the colourful spines on Switch cases haha, where did you get those?
Tough one - I don’t have a hard cutoff, but I’ve certainly started to slow down on buying retro games. I’ve spent over $200 CAD on a single game in recent memory (2022?), nowadays I wouldn’t really want to go over $100 CAD.
I’ve also been reevaluating and selling off some of my collection whenever I can buy ports / digital versions of some games (eg: Chrono Trigger, bought on Steam and sold my loose SNES cart, Xenogears bought on PS3 and sold my CIB copy, etc).
I only focus on two retro systems - SNES and PS1 - and I don’t really play on OG hardware anyways (Super Nt / Pocket for SNES, PS3 / Vita for PS1), so I don’t mind “owning” digital and ultimately downloading roms if necessary.
