I tried #RetroArch on the #ipad. The experience is not bad, especially using a Bluetooth controller. But still prefer how this works on #Android; much easier to deal with ROM files, and the screen on my Samsung (OLED) looks better.
The purple Game Boy Color was my first ever game system, followed by the purple #GBA and then the blue SP. The original DMG needs some repairs and replacement parts, it was a garage sale pickup years ago.
I use the #SteamDeck a lot nowadays, but I still try to make time for the #retro#handhelds. The mini #emulation handhelds can be a nice change of pace as well! Do you still like old school handhelds? Let me know!
Never have heard of this Zeebo console from Brazil/Mexico before but looks like it was just emulated and apparently has an incredible version of Double Dragon that I absolutely need to check out sometime.
Back from camping, and I've got a TON of news to cover! From Nintendo purchasing Shiver, to PCSX2 adding in new features! Check out the latest in gaming, tech, emulation and open source news here:
Some incredible stuff from various fan communities out there these days. Mario Builder 64 is essentially a Mario Maker type game for Super Mario 64 that even allows you to download levels other people have made.
So many really talented folks out there, I hope it doesn't die an early cease-and-desist death from Big N.
I don't understand most of the #Nintendo fans; they seem to just accept the fact they killed the Super Mario Maker service and even often times support the way the company enforces absurd restrictions on #emulation as it is their right. No, they take away your rights... and you nod in agreement?
Sure, we have pretendo... but what if they go after this with the same 'justification' as their crusade against emulation and preservation?
I have been replaying Grandia on the Miyoo Mini plus for the #VideoGameClub and have been really enjoying it. I feel it looks better on the smaller screen and I like that I can overclock it as well. #VGCMay2024#Grandia#Emulation
The #Miyoo Mini Plus is on sale on AliExpress alongside a bunch of other retro handhelds from #Anbernic and the like. So it might be a good time to grab one :P
I see with RetroArch on iOS, the “#emulation is illegal” rubbish has clawed its way back into the daylight. Emulators are legal. Yes, many files people load into them may not be legit but that doesn’t make the tech itself illegal any more than it makes e-readers, music players and video players illegal.
Maybe people should concentrate more on encouraging publishers to provide legal routes to play (and buy) old games than spreading rubbish about emulators.
A few more notes about video games and VoiceOver Recognition: the story mode of Blazblue reads very well with screen recognition, even better than Windows OCR! In some games, when menus have descriptions, you can tell which menu item you're on by the description of the item at the bottom. With the Provinence app, audio latency is amazingly low with my AirPods Pro 2. So, playing games using those is really, really amazing! No game mode needed! I can't wait for more blind people to get into this! #accessibility#blind#gaming#Provinence#iOS#RetroGames#emulation#emulators
