I just had to test this combination: An original Japanese cartridge of „Super Mario Land“ running natively on the Japanese „Super Game Boy“ with Analogue‘s „Super Nt“ set to 60Hz NTSC. Image is set to sqare pixels and upscaled to 4K on a 55inch OLED screen. 1989-2024… perfection!

It’s hard to believe I own such an obscure RPG like Robotrek as a kid. I probably got it off a Toys r Us discount bin and with my love for RPG’s I had to have it. Never thought years later it would become highly sought after physically and much more appreciated.

Question for any #retro#gamers If you take a game off of your #SNES mini, will all its related data be lost too. I ask because i want to play a few RPGs on it, but i also use it to run a gaming event at my local library.

I've a question about modern "homebrew" games made for old consoles:
Why is the original Gameboy such a popular target? Itch lists a whopping 6406 games tagged as targeting Gameboy. The second-most popular old console is the NES, with only 1848 games on Itch: less than a third as many as the Gameboy. The Gameboy Advance sits at only 450 games on Itch.
