why do so many people whine like this? just move the fuck on. i didn't see it in the comments so i commented it.
it's like the fucking emulator devs that complain and shut down their projects when people ask questions too many times. either don't respond or just link them to the FAQ or whatever, don't be a faggot.

@beardalaxy There is no such thing as "half-bit" or "quarter-bit". They're digits.
Atari 2600 was also an 8-bit system. It used an 8-bit MOS 6507 chip. I don't think there was ever a home console that was less than 8-bit, maybe outside of the Pong consoles which probably had dedicated chips for each object on screen as opposed to a CPU to handle it all.
Anything less than 8-bit is limited to really basic stuff like infrared controllers. A 4-bit integer can only go up to 15.
@xianc78 yeah that part is the joke lol, saying that the tiger wrist watch is the shittiest thing on the planet
@beardalaxy Technically the PS1 had superior audio than the N64 just from the CD medium alone. Audio as a bottleneck on retro consoles was mostly due to ROM compression rather than bits (though more bits obviously allows better compression algorithms). The Turbo-Grafx 16 was an 8-bit console (only the GPU was 16-bit), but had superior audio than the SNES or the vanilla Genesis with the CD add-on.
