I wondered the same but after a bit of thought, it’d actually be really cool to build a tiny PC that ran an emulator Linux distro setup to automatically boot inserted disks.
Like RetroPi with pre-loaded ISOs is cool and all but having a physical library of disks you can just pop in is really fun sounding
Is probably the most “legitimate feeling” giving experience. You can be a legitimate owner of a copy of a game and use a random iso dump of the very same game, but just plug the actual thing gives different strokes.
Do people really use disks when playing emulated games?

Never thought about it in these terms, thanks.
Some do, because RPCS3 lets you play games directly from an internal bluray drive and also to create ROM dumps (actually BluRay disc images).
