The Italian import has some wild graphics

Sometimes you get the casual urge to build a TAS device to simulate a GameCube controller to input every frame of the Bad Apple music video into Animal Crossing's design editor. I'm sure that's happened to all of us a time or two.

Just got my first everdrive, figure ill never need these carts and at the outrageous prices they are going for, would you sell or hold onto them? I only have like 10 and only a couple are rarer ones.

I have a ton of game systems and stuff in general and im not into collecting things that dont serve a function. If they sit on the shelf there's no point to having them. But I can hold onto em for 10 more years if theyre all gonna shoot up to 50 bucks each, or has the craze died now?

The event features dozens of retro games.

I found a neat Wikipedia page with a lot of old C64 box art, so I figured I'd post my favorites over here. I tried to find a variety of different styles. Sorry for the low resolution, I'm not sure where to find better versions.

If there's interest I'll post more, and from other systems.

Hello, let's share your best indy games for these consoles
I don't know which ones are the best to me but I've bought The shapeshifter recently and will soon have a look at a demake of Disco Elysium and the year after

The Wii U console and gamepad communicate via 5 GHz 802.11n WiFi, but in order to deter other parties from simply hopping onto the access point, Nintendo slightly obfuscated this WiFi standard. Specifically the WPA authentication was modified by a byte swap in the PTK, rendering every existing WiFi stack incompatible with the Wii U.

Knowing this, the key is to use a platform that allows one to pre-break WPA in a similar fashion, such as is possible on e.g. Linux and BSD. Along with the use of the hilariously insecure WPS that is triggered when the gamepad’s sync button is pressed, this enables one to connect a modified Linux system to a Wii U console. After this the console starts sending h.264 (AVC) encoded video to the ‘gamepad’, and a binary packet can be sent back with the controller inputs.

Suffice it to say that this finding was immediately turned into a GitHub project called Vanilla Wii U, that enables a Steam Deck to be used as a gamepad, as well as any Linux – and presumably BSD – system with a compatible WiFi adapter.

I recently got the itch to play the Fable series again. So I dug out my 360 and got it running again. Since I originally had Fable 2 and 3 through Game Fly I picked up some used copies. When I tried to load Fable 2 it said the save was from a newer version of the game, despite buying the version that came with the DLC.

I looked at my GameFly history and I only had 2 for a long weekend, and my son said I sent it back quickly because he was being a murder hobo in it.

I decided to start the game over, but it got me wondering if it was safe to connect the 360 to the net, and if I did if there would be updates available.

I have not tried loading Fable 3 yet, and I had 1 on the OG Xbox so I have no save data for it. But I am wondering if my passive income kept accruing in 3 over the last 11 years.

I finally replaced my old SONY projector TV which had perfect connections for all my old and new consoles. HDMI, component and composite. Since no new TV's come with composite connections, we are all left to either buy a converter, mod our consoles for HDMI, or buy an older TV. Most of these options aren't cheap or easy.

I have a modded Wii, Wii u, Xbox, and Xbox 360. The Modded Wii u replaced my modded Wii since i can play all my gamecube, wii, and wii u games on my Wii u AND since it's via HDMI, all the games look fantastic!

My Modded Xbox 360 replaced my xbox as it can play almost all xbox games and all 360 games. Both consoles can also emulate all retro consoles, so 2 modded consoles can replaced over a dozen retail consoles.

I'm not much of a Sony guy, so haven't modded any of my Playstations, but that may be next.

For playing original hardware i got a $40 Insignia Converter from Best buy that works great for NES-N64 and everything in between. But for the 2000's consoles, they all looked horrible through the converter. Modded consoles make all my old games look better than they ever have.

I have never seen SSX Tricky so clear and detailed!

And now i don't have to spend $450 on a retrotink!

I had my mind blown yesterday, twice.

First, at the local game store I saw one of my favorite childhood PC games: Jeff Gordon XS racing, but in Game Boy form! Had no idea it was ported to GB. Had to get it.

Side note, XS racing on PC is a killer game, sadly very few have heard of it, go play it!

So it worked great in my OG game boy. Super fun but ofc not as good as the PC one.

I decide to look the game up. Everything about it says gameboy color. It is NOT a gameboy color cartridge. However, it WILL play on a gameboy advance SP in color! So i learned there are some backward compatible GBC games.

Also someone told me years back OG GB games dont work on an SP. Well, they do!!

Just some fun weird facts!

I have a cart of Star Control that refuses to read. Ive cleaned multiple times. It does sound like something small is loose inside the cart which I find weird. Going to take it apart to see.

Anyone else have this game ?

EDIT: Took the cart apart (need security torx bit) and the rattling was just a couple broken plastic clips inside. It didn't look that dirty but I really scrubbed at the contacts with q tips and some de-oxit this time, and I did have to re seat it a couple times in the genesis (as usual) but then it did work! And man, this game is worth it. Get the cart or the ROM if you haven't and play it (I'm sure the Amiga version is probably the best since this was a port) but man this game really holds up today. If you like Asteroids (one of my favorites) at all, this is similar to that but on steroids. Such creative ships and gameplay, and awesome music, and 2 player to boot! Definitely underrated (i'd never heard of it)

Found out why my n64 was making weird buzzing/grinding sounds when it has no fan. Turns out the psu was about to go bad! I was also having random game freezes that were caused by this after long play times.

Hopefully this psa helps someone!

I remember I used to play the megaman legends games with my brother and we managed to find a glitch we could trigger reliably that I never saw explained online anywhere. I was wondering if you guys had an idea what this is.

Get a real PlayStation 1 or 2. I have never had this work in an emulator. Start a new game. Play all the way through to the nino island ruins without rebooting or loading a save. You can write a save, but don’t load one and don’t reboot. When you climb the ladder to get out after beating the ruins, the game will crash and throw white text in a black screen, looking like a memory dump.

If you load from a save, this never happens. If you play all the way from the beginning, it happens about 80% of the time.

Years later and I never see this mentioned online. What did we see? What happened?

I'm stuck on it since November. I even tried using Save States, but I just won't get past it. Heard other players agree this level is Rythm Hell too.

I dont have any everdrive carts yet, but as prices are going to keep going up on real carts, ill probably have to. It a bummer because I really enjoy the real games (just like i enjoy having my records and cds) but its just not worth what people are asking for some of these games, especially if they are at all sought after, forget about it.

How is the ever drive experience ? Do they have an easy game browser built in? I find sometimes these type of things are annoying trying to find 1 game out of 1000 if it doesn start with "A" .

This would likely be for n64/snes/genesis

(the game's name is Ganso Yanchamaru btw)
