  1. A fun little week for gaming this week! I spent the whole week just kinda dinking around on my RG353V, playing several games of Monopoly and doing a full playthrough of Pooh and Tigger's Hunny Safari for the GBC, then put those two analog sticks at the bottom to good use playing a few games of Robotron 2084 for the 7800. I also decided to try out the Bluetooth and 720p HDMI out features to consolize the handheld and play Die Hard Arcade for the Saturn on the big screen modern TV with my 8BitDo SN30 Pro controller. It worked pretty dang seamlessly and was a lot of fun, and I really like that now that my SN30 Pro controller is paired with the device and configured anytime I turn on the controller it automatically switches to the SN30 Pro as the default player 1 input. Smart programming! I may have to pick up a 8BitDo M30 controller next week to pair with it as well for all my Sega gaming needs on the big screen. Atari 7800 Robotron 2084 - 24 minutes Game Boy Color Monopoly - 324 minutes Pooh and Tigger's Hunny Safari - 93 minutes Nintendo DS Alpha and Omega - 22 minutes Sega Saturn Die Hard Arcade - 82 minutes
  2. I bought Rikki & Vikki on Steam today but can't exactly figure out how to get the ProSystem-libretro core in RetroArch to run it, since it seems to only want to recognize .A78 files. I'm also guessing that foxbox.bin doesn't have the music included, so I was wondering exactly what the procedure is to get Rikki & Vikki running in ProSystem-libretro? Does it need to be converted into a .A78 file with the same program you'd use to it play on the GameDrive?
  3. Yup, that problem was solved a few years back and every emulator for disc based games now has a "disc swap" option in the menu that you can bring up at any time during a game.
  4. Last week was too busy to get in any gaming time, but I'm back this week with a little time to contribute! I also got a couple new emulation handhelds this week and, after spending a fair few hours setting them up and configuring them to my liking, I'm really enjoying them! It's really neat that technology has finally advanced enough to have a small pocketable device like the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro that's powerful enough to play all the GameCube and Wii games I want full speed and upscaled to 720p, and I'm really digging the classic Game Boy form factor of the RG353V for all the retro systems that are less demanding to emulate. Game Boy Color Monopoly - 78 minutes Neo Geo AES/MVS Metal Slug 2 - 119 minutes Sega Dreamcast The House of the Dead 2 - 26 minutes Sega Genesis Castlevania: Bloodlines - 145 minutes
  5. I'm a little late to the party this week and I don't have a ton of time to contribute, but hey, at least I beat Klonoa Beach Volleyball Game Boy Advance Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament - 141 minutes Neo Geo AES/MVS The Last Blade 2 - 20 minutes Sega Genesis Golden Axe - 61 minutes Sony PlayStation Klonoa Beach Volleyball - 53 minutes Thrasher: Skate and Destroy - 52 minutes
  6. Good week for gaming this week! I ended up finishing Tomb Raider for the original PlayStation as well as Metroid Prime Remastered on the Switch, then spent a bit of time checking out Tomb Raider I•II•III Remastered on the Switch as well! After playing through the first 4 levels of the first Tomb Raider game on the Switch remaster and comparing it to the PS1 original I just finished I definitely feel like the remaster is easily the best way to experience Lara's 3 best classic adventures in 2024, much like how Metroid Prime Remastered is the best way to experience the original Metroid Prime if you ask me. Nintendo Switch Metroid Prime Remastered - 920 minutes Tomb Raider I•II•III Remastered - 120 minutes Sony PlayStation Tomb Raider - 119 minutes
  7. That's fine, @carlsson can put it under Nintendo Switch instead and I'll log my time for it going forward as Metroid Prime Remastered on Switch
  8. I was a little late to contribute this week, so my times will just have to go on the list for next week Nintendo Game Boy Kirby's Dreamland 2 - 150 minutes Nintendo GameCube Metroid Prime - 337 minutes Sony PlayStation Tomb Raider - 686 minutes
  9. Lots of games for me this week! I started off the week playing through Klonoa: Empire of Dreams for the Game Boy Advance and enjoyed it immensely, then did a little playthrough of Super Mario Land to pass a little time one evening. The big highlight of the week for me was joining a retro handheld focused Discord server where everyone votes on games to play each month, and every month there's 3 games to play. One game made before 1996, one made between 1996 and 1999, and one game made in the year 2000 or later. This month the games of the month ended up being Kirby's Dreamland 2, Metal Slug 2, and Metroid Prime so I got started on 2 of the 3! Atari 2600 Thrust+ Platinum Edition - 18 minutes Nintendo Game Boy Kirby's Dreamland 2 - 96 minutes Operation C - 19 minutes Super Mario Land - 64 minutes Nintendo Game Boy Advance Alien Hominid - 12 minutes Klonoa: Empire of Dreams - 487 minutes Nintendo GameCube Metroid Prime - 463 minutes Nintendo Wii Dead Space: Extraction - 10 minutes Sony PlayStation Tomb Raider - 64 minutes
  10. Normally I hate gravity based games so I ended up putting off playing this one until there was just 20 minutes left in the round tonight and figured I'd just get some participation points, but as it turned out Thrust+ Platinum Edition was actually a lot of fun and I wish I would have given it a chance earlier in the week! No bonus game for me this week, due to my time mismanagement. Thrust+ Platinum Edition: 15,600
  11. I played a pretty good number of games this week, including a couple games for the Atari 2600 High Score Club, finished up my playthrough of the original Sonic the Hedgehog, then did a full playthrough of Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii on my Odin 2. I also installed some snazzy new Super Famicom colored buttons in the Odin 2 that I think came out really nicely! Atari 2600 Berzerk - 12 minutes Kung-Fu Master - 55 minutes Nintendo Game Boy Operation C - 30 minutes Nintendo Wii Dead Space: Extraction - 422 minutes Sega Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog - 87 minutes
  12. It's an Android based emulation handheld called an Anbernic RG ARC-D. Not the most catchy name in the world, but it's a really nice little Sega style device that can emulate everything from Atari 2600 up through and including original PlayStation perfectly. In this case I'm using the Stella core in Retroarch for my Atari 2600 needs, and wrapping it all up in an attractive frontend called Daijisho. Here's a better picture of the device: PS: Ignore the blue tint to the screen. In real life the colors on the screen look completely normal, my camera just sucks at photographing IPS panels
  13. Man, a few years ago I used to be able to beat this game and loop it once no problem, but now it took me an hour of practice just to get to the last level. Yay getting old I suppose Kung-Fu Master (Game 1, B/B Difficulty) - 111,620
  14. Doing Berzerk before I get to Kung-Fu Master this week, because somehow Berzerk on it's most difficult setting seems easier Berzerk (Game 9, B/B Difficulty) - 4,380
  15. Whoops! Just realized I was so caught up babbling about my new handheld that I forgot to include my Nintendo Switch time for this week Nintendo Switch Alien Isolation - 125 minutes
