I want to play Chrono trigger for the first time. I’ve actually played it a bit years ago, but I have no memory of it and didn’t finish it.

So, what the best way to play it snes emulator? I don’t want to do any rom hack kind of stuff as I was the original experience.

    I played it on my phone (SNES version), but I didn’t finish it because of a combination of a frustrating boss fight and crappy phone controls.

    I’ll probably pick it up on Steam and give it another try, preferably on my Steam Deck.

      I’m just playing the Ames version on the steam deck. If there are frustrating bosses I think some emulators let you rewind what’s happened.

        Yeah, I probably could’ve gotten through it, but the combination of the crappy screen controls, cooldown timer, and difficult boss fight frustrated me. I bailed at the Magus fight, though I think being higher level would’ve helped.

        I think playing on my PC would’ve been a lot less frustrating, so that’s what I recommend. Play it with a keyboard or a controller, not screen controls, though maybe the official app is better.

          I loath touch screen controls! I’ll never get into touch screen gaming.

            I only did it because it was convenient. I could play laying in bed, on the toilet, or while cooking or whatever. I even used the Steam Link app as well, and played through INSIDE on it. Now I have a Steam Deck, so I use that instead.
