I know none of them are technically accessible, but the Atari I used to
play a few lifetimes ago was no where near accessible, and I still
managed to use and enjoy it and many of the games, anyway. I used to own
close to a hundred Atari games back in the day. I also use to have an
Snes and managed to use it, though not quite as successfully as I did
with the older Atari system.
Thanks, though.

Unless you have some vision, no, they’re simply not accessible.

It's a bit ridiculous to spend good money on a physical something
that we probably can't use, though. Or are some of these usable? I
know none are actually accessible. I have actually thought about
buying one of those all in one systems. If anyone has any experiences
with these kind of systems, please let me know. I miss all my old
Atari games. LOL!

Just for reference, any game you own is perfe4ctly legal to have a
rom image of said game. Of course, if you don't own said game, then
it's a whole different story. One way to solve this problem is to
go buy one of the flashback systems put out by atari and others,
those game systems have multiple games on them, are fairly cheap,
and give you legal recourse as long as you stick to using only roms
from the included games.

I won’t spoil where the get ROMs, perform a treasure hunt for that
on your search engine of choice, but I can give recommendations.
First, the game being played in the video is Dissidia Final
Fantasy. I recommend the first one, not Duodecim, because the story
mode in Duodecim is not accessible. Any Mortal Kombat game will
work fine, besides Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks, Mortal Kombat
Subzero Mythologies, Mortal Kombat Special forces. Basically, any
fighting game will work fine. Hey, that brings up a good idea, to
have an actual list of accessible games, or at least games that can
be made enjoyable by this. Hmm. Maybe that can be on the Retroarch
Wiki...

heads up.
Just to let you all know that technically passing around links for
roms and stuff is pretty illegal.
Not sure if the list rules cover that, but please keep that in mind.

Any game recommendations that work well with this emulator? And
where can the game files be downloaded?

I must clarify, this is a system which basically combines a lot
of emulators into one unified interface. This gives access to
systems ranging from the NES to the PSP, GameCube, and Wii.
You’ll need to provide it game files, called ROMS, or “Content”
in Retroarch, yourself, Retroarch does not come with any. If you
have any problems, I’ll be glad to help.

This game emulator, used for emulating old NES and SNES fames.
has built in OCR for in-game text and is also accessible. The
announcement is below. No, this won't make video games into
audio games or make older games accessible to the blind by way
of audio, but still, check it out!
