  1. There are 14 SNES cores in Retroarch but no Apple or proper Amiga one. Disappointing :/

      I wouldn't emulate a computer on RA since they don't support keyboards. And yes there are games that require at least one key to press like the space bar..

      How about emulating the CD32?

      GTFO, you're right! I thought for sure I've emulated Apple][ on the Pi, but nope! That must have been someplace else.

      Sorry friend, nobody needed to know about Culkin's role in ToeJam and Earl. But if Sega Genesis and Nintendo Switch keep him away from drugs, more power to him.

      Confirming Shawn's observations. I replied in one of those threads and now it shows 35 views.

       

      Just keep on posting smart things, youxia, don't worry about the views or the likes.

      Another problem is trying to put creativity under corporate control. It's likely why every modern game seems shallow and the same as the next.

      Once again, Atariage is my breaking news source. TBH, I was kinda ready to give up on them BUT then I played Batman TEW and was blown away. That was awesome! Very sad it won't get a sequel.

      Bad management decisions and a one-trick-pony game formula did them in.

      Yeah, was just poking fun at that new Sony handset. As NP says it takes a big size to even notice a difference from 1080p. Nevermind that for that cost you could probably get a decent TV...

      I'm willing to give up some privacy in exchange for useful things from Google but I detest ads.

       

      I've recently stopped my YouTube Premium subscription so I'll likely see a lot more ads, unless I just stop looking at amateur videos. The latter is more likely.

      Lol@that "sent it out to die". Because EA hates money :)If it was CD Projekt, it'd be "they were unlucky to compete with other games and the market was saturated "

    3. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      For some reason, the only Star Wars games that appeal to me are the Lego games. The EA Battlefront game is too heavy, serious and overproduced, and the mobile Galaxy of Heroes character collector game is shallow and grindy.

       

      I wish we could have more KOTOR type RPG stuff. Episodic would be fine. Use the old engine if you must.

       

      Or just an X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter online arena type thing.

      It won't work with the N8, apparently. Seems like MMC5 support was just enough to get Castlevania 3 to work.

    4. derFunkenstein

      derFunkenstein

      The N8 got a big OS update that supposedly rewrote MMC5 support so that all known MMC5 games worked. Of course, this wasn't a "known" game at the time, but there's a chance. Just waiting for mine to show up (on the UPS truck today).

      The original Mega Man series is up to 11. And that’s not counting X, Legends, Battle Network, and other spin-off series.

       

      Beisdes Mortal Kombat has the oposite problem of Street Fighter. Street fighter couldn’t count past 2 for a long time, but Mortal Kombat went from 10 (X) to 40 (XL) in the next sequel. Now they’re going back down to 11?

      Looks at Amp. These go to 11!

      I went into my trash and found the announcement, which I ignored. I can understand why youxia is pissed off, when they put it this way:

       

      Free accounts will soon be limited to 1,000 photos or videos. Flickr isn't Flickr without the contributions and participation of our free members, and we remain committed to a vibrant, free offering.

    3. Keatah

      Flickr is irrelevant and $50 is too much. Buy yourself a USB HDD and store 400,000 photos and MORE!

      More like, Google Spy Machine.

      A Google Console would require.

      A Google Account.

      A Google Chrome Browser, and signed in.

      A Google Cloud account synced to the console.

      Location services switched.

      A Mobile Phone number, to verify your account.

      Too early and not enough facts to get bunched panties over. Also, Google starts and quits stuff all the time. This might not go anywhere.

      It was the same with Skyrim, Doom, LA Noire, Diablo3. The prices will come down with time, and there are always good sales. I wouldn't ever pay full price for a Capcom game, they always seem to drop by half in a few months.
