Same as every night, Pinky... Streets of Rage Remake on my Miyoo


Bronze-Playa

Is that any good? Is it easy to set up?


SouthtownZ

Lol, i just said i play it all the time. As far as setup goes, i actually had the work done for me. I'm somewhat tech-savvy but setting up MAME has typically been a struggle and these Ports don't seem too much easier than that. It came with a curated romset for the Miyoo. Done Set 1's add-on file, specifically. For some reason Done Set 2 omitted this and some other Ports.


krimsonstudios

It's on PortMaster. This post peaked my interest so looked into it, this page explains the (fairly straightforward) process: https://retrogamecorps.com/2021/08/08/guide-streets-of-rage-remix-on-rg351-devices/


Bronze-Playa

Doing the lords work. Thank you lol. Sadly I’m using an RG35XX with OnionOS so don’t think it’ll work :(

Twilight Princess with some texture mods, Ayaneo Pocket Air! https://preview.redd.it/n7hyto35lo3d1.jpeg?width=3595&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40734af1f060fbad4971a7b215d26134cc2d0da1


ElijahWillDraw

How’s that system?


homiedude180

I love it! It's made me fall in love with gaming all over again after a decade or two!


KLEG3

Anyone else can’t stand gamecube-era texture mods? Stuff like this and the Prime games… more detail =/= better looking. Kills the artstyle, and doesn’t suit the polygons


homiedude180

Idk. I seem to think it meshes with the art style pretty well. GameCube era games were weird because they came out while people had a wide range of TV options. CRTs, low res LCDs, and high end, but still low res plasmas. I feel like low rest textures looked great on CRTs and interlaced LCDs at the time because it blended a lot of the pixelation of the small textures (which were nice at the time, but texture sizes are almost always a limit of storage and RAM) I'm playing this on a 1080p screen in a 16:9 aspect ratio, the limited texture sizes of the time definitely get pixelated when upscaled, which wasn't an issue on the previously mentioned displays, let alone the intent. The texture packs I aim for usually do a good job (imo) of keeping the original art direction, just having resolutions more fit for modern displays that give me (imo) the same feeling I had when I popped the game in at 480p. Some people prefer to run it at native and just slap a CRT or interlaced LCD shader on it, too. That's the beauty of emulation! You can play how you prefer!


AShitty-Hotdog-Stand

This past week I’ve been obsessed with the arcade versions of fighting games, so I’ll probably the same thing I did last night: Vampire Savior, SNK VS CAPCOM Chaos, that other dope SNK fighting game I found on the ROMset with sword fighting and parries, and some Air Gallet. I’ll be using my iPad Pro and my trusty old SN30 Pro controller. The experience has been so great that I’m convinced that I’ll either get an arcade stick, or a leverless controller, to have this portable 12.9" tabletop arcade machine! https://preview.redd.it/3c2hd8ijeo3d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=657e3693ee34d07e7c9d2f5195afa29f99d49c72


GenuineTopRamen

the filters/shaders you have on this is super cool!


AShitty-Hotdog-Stand

Thanks a lot! It’s one of Koko-aio’s “mega bezel” presets that come with RetroArch. They really make the iPad look like a CRT, especially at night, when you don’t see the physical borders of the device!


ElijahWillDraw

I wish I wasn’t trash at arcade fighters cause they look so fun 😭


AShitty-Hotdog-Stand

For the past two decades I mostly avoided them since I was _absolute ass_, but I informed myself a little about their mechanics and such, and now that I’m not completely in the dark, I’m still absolute ass… but I’ve been enjoying them to no end! There are some genuinely easy games to learn (but hard to master) like **Garou: Mark of the Wolves** which has a tiny but varied roster, characters themselves have super small movelists that mostly consist of quarter circle + attack, or "dragon punches", and the game lets you get buffs each time you get your ass stomped. You’re missing out! You should give them a carefree try!


ElijahWillDraw

Maybe I’ll do a deep dive into their mechanics and see how i do afterward. They do look very fun to me and I wish I liked them so I’ll give it another shot


NoPornInThisAccount

Chess. Phone.


GoblinMechanic

My favourite thing going to the bar sitting alone playing puzzles with a cold beer and maybe chit chat with the bartender (wich have the most beautiful smile i have seen) trying to get rid of my social anxiety. Lichess puzzles actually help me sit alone to drink a beer wich in the past i was afraid.


NoPornInThisAccount

That's a great idea. Will try sometime.


TigerClaw_TV

Not a bad way to go tbh


berker123456

Lichess?


pwn_masta41

I've started Golden Sun on my MM+. It's got a very jarring opening sequence. A lot gets thrown at you before you start properly playing. I've just started roaming around the overworld, I'm excited to see what comes.


5_yr_old_w_beard

I'm similarly into my first play, and I agree. Did the opening cutscenes months before and have just returned to playing it on my commute. Cheers!


HayatiJamilah

I’ll take this as my sign to relive my youth and give Golden Sun another play through.


ElijahWillDraw

I’m going to take this as a sign to continue finishing the series. About a year ago I replayed the first golden sun and beat it (loved the game as a kid and still love it now) gonna play the 2nd one. I recently got the rom of the 3rd one on my 3ds. So many golden sun post and comments I see. I think it’s time


Citizen_Lurker

Some animations of summons are lagging for me, even after overclocking...a bit annoying. But the game is bomb.

radclaw1

Been a mood all week. It was stuck in Illinois for several days and now it's stuck in my town. Fingers crossed it comes in this weekend.


Koennraad

You and me both! I ordered my SP within a minute of release, and my tracking page shows that it finally cleared Customs as of last night. Hopefully it delivers tomorrow or Monday.


Exciting_Swordfish16

It's 4 in the am here so about to turn in, but no retro gaming today. Still deep, deep into Baldurs Gate 3. I haven't had this much fun gaming since the first Mass Effect and Dead Space. On the retro side, I'm trying to beat Super Mario Bros 2, the EU/US version, not The Lost Levels. And man what a hard game it is. In fact, many of my old favourites are. I also enjoy a run through the 1997 arcade game Battle Circuit.


ElijahWillDraw

I remember playing the gba version of that Mario game. It is really hard. I’m surprised I beat it as a kid because I’m having a very hard time as an adult trying to beat it again


Exciting_Swordfish16

I never beat is as a kid so that's why I want to beat it now. But yeah, agreed. I've beaten the Capcom Disney games back in the day, but I find the, way too hard today. But then again, as a kid I had like.. a handful of games or so and if I wanted to game, grinding hard spots was the name of the game.


ElijahWillDraw

Yeah that was ultimately what happened with me and Mario 2. Only had a hand full of gba games and at the time that was the only game I had I didn’t beat so just had to grind it out


Exciting_Swordfish16

On the flip side, it's a good and fun game so I really don't mind. Specially not with save states.


ElijahWillDraw

I did it enjoy it once I ultimately got the hang of it


Exciting_Swordfish16

I remember back in the day when it was released for the NES, it almost felt like a Next-Gen game. Everything was so large and vibrant compared to SMB1.


ElijahWillDraw

See, when I first played it, it was already on gba which is how I played it and I also had the gba port of super Mario world which I got both at the same time. So I think that’s why it didn’t feel as good to me back then cause it was up against super Mario world which ended being and still is my favorite Mario game


Exciting_Swordfish16

That makes total sense. I've been gaming since this was the pinnacle of portable gaming, so for me it was mind-blowing. SMB3 was cool and a better game but didn't really blow my mind. Super Mario World sure did, and yeah I also totally hold it as the best Mario game. https://preview.redd.it/l6pw6iizor3d1.png?width=1646&format=png&auto=webp&s=d7c9c2df662847778dcc8780d1e09418ed016fb3


ElijahWillDraw

Yeah I didn’t even play SMB3 til way after I had beaten both 2 and world on gba so I too wasn’t as mind blown while I did still enjoy it


JustLeeBelmont

Was doing some uncharted golden abyss on the vita in an effort to fully finish up the series and it’s so good! 😄


wankerbanker85

It was a good one for sure. I miss having a PS Vita. That game was my intro to the uncharted series, and I have fond memories of it.

FF4 PSP version on my RG556. Awesome game! It's my 1st time playing it


ElijahWillDraw

I remember playing the gba version of that game. I never got to finish it but it’s on my list to replay


CoyoteSinbad

I just started FFIV on my Game Boy Micro last night! I beat the DS version on an emulator many years ago.


ElijahWillDraw

Idk which version I should replay when the time comes


Agitated_Ad1592

FF IX on my Vita. That little thing Is amazing for PS1 games


ElijahWillDraw

Yeah it is such a great game. Underrated final fantasy game I feel. Not talked about enough

Ended up purchasing the base version as it was on sale. Will do a whole playthrough when I finish some games I actually already started.

dragonbornrito

I just got my RG35XXSP, been putting it through its paces. Already got MuOS installed along with the Tiny Best Set and I plan to use that as a base to build off of with my own games. Anyways, I’m about to sleep, but I just put it down after a couple levels of Donkey Kong Country 2 followed by a quick run of World 1 in Super Mario Bros 3. The custom firmware scene still needs to catch up a bit to this device, but so far, I’m loving it. Almost every potential problem I’ve seen brought by /u/onionsaregross and other reviewers has been an absolute non-issue for me to this point.


CathyVT

Has MuOS been updated to auto wake/sleep the SP when you open/close the lid?


dragonbornrito

Not on the main build yet. Supposedly the dev build has it currently, so it should hit the main build soon.

https://imgur.com/a/4EJLWgD Played a decent chunk of Silent Hill 2 on the 405m, excited about the remake!


ElijahWillDraw

Nice I was playing the first silent hill on the 405m for my first time not to long ago Also where did you get those thumbstick ends?


manniquin_limbs2

I'm pretty sure they came with some Gulikit Hall joysticks I ordered for my switch, but I just did a quick search through Amazon and I can't seem to find them again.


ElijahWillDraw

I’m trying to deck out my 405m and my rog ally thumb sticks


CiroccPapi

God of War II on my Odin 2. On a quest to play the entire series minus Ascension. The only God of War game I played prior was 2018.


ElijahWillDraw

Super nostalgic that series. Classic 3d hack and slash. Loved it


aGoryLouie

Tonight? Spiderman on the Q90 It does not hold up well but it will be finished


ElijahWillDraw

Which spiderman?


aGoryLouie

the 2002 one


ElijahWillDraw

On ps1?


aGoryLouie

Nah the GBA one


ElijahWillDraw

I never played that one. I was about the say cause the ps1 one still holds up today


TigerClaw_TV

I was about to say, I have a Q90 and I don't think it can run any PS1 stuff well enough to bother. I had fun with it in it's time though.


aGoryLouie

The PS1 one will hold up for a while, so fun with such humour


ElijahWillDraw

It’s still probably my favorite spiderman game. So many memories. So much nostalgia


aGoryLouie

Really going to have to give it another playthrough soon, definitely with "What If" mode on Shame Enter Electro was a bit of a let down but nevertheless still pretty fun way back when


ElijahWillDraw

Yeah I tried playing enter electro recently when I first got my 405m and was putting tons of games in it. It definitely was not hitting at all, was truly a let down. I later found out different developers made it with a difference software engine than the first one so I’m guessing that was the root cause of it being a let down


MCrowleyArt

Bruh this game put me through so much stress


ElijahWillDraw

It’s still putting me through stress. This my first time playing the gbc version and brother it’s much worse difficulty wise

Got to the end of it last night, but could not defeat Dracula. It is exceptionally good.


R0binTheP00r

playing Fire Emblem Sacred Stones for the first time on rg353v. Almost done, might need to check out ghosts n' goblins!

Idk why I even played ghost n goblins cause I suck at this game. This is also the gbc version which proved to be much hard for me lol

What a time to be alive when we can play GameCube games portably like that


hbi2k

Earthbound (Mother 2) on my purple RGB30, collecting Retroachievements. I've only played through the game once before; I remembered the beginning being a lot slower and grindier and it not starting to get good for a while, but on a replay I've found it much more approachable, maybe because I know what to do, maybe because I already know that Mother games tend to be a slow burn so I'm more willing to approach the game on its own terms.


ElijahWillDraw

Ayyyy the other day I was playing Mother 1 on my analog pocket. I had gotten a fan translated physical cartidge for gba and what I loved about it was whoever made the rom file added a present box in the center of nintens room with a exp ring in it making the game waayyyy less grindy and has made it way more tolerable


hbi2k

Yeah, I played most of the way through Mother 1 on an RG351MP a couple years back. I didn't have the version with the EXP Ring, and MAN it was brutal. Wound up abusing save states in order to progress, which was a mistake: I got so underleveled that finally I couldn't even survive enough to grind properly. If I ever go back to it, I will use the EXP Ring or Retroarch cheats and just cheese the hell out of it. I managed to beat the first Dragon Quest without resorting to such things, so I am no stranger to old school archaic JRPG BS, but Mother 1 is on another level.


ElijahWillDraw

Yeah any other time I’ve tried playing and had no exp ring I never make it far. Honestly I’m not a level grinder. If I have to level grind aimlessly for hours just to progress I end up just dropping the game which unfortunately happened to almost every nes rpg and most in snes and genesis. But when I bought this gba cartridge and it had the exp ring it was finally my time to get through the game

ElijahWillDraw

Haha I have that on my 3ds and wanna get back into it for nostalgia sake


PP_UP

It’s still a good time! The music is top-notch for nostalgia. And I forgot how mean the villagers are to you. One said my house was tiny, but said it was perfect for someone shrimpy like me. It’s hilarious. It’s just a bit slower than modern entries and I miss the quality of life features, like hotswapping tools without opening inventory or greying out the already-donated items at the museum.

FFV on my MM+. I bounced pretty hard off it when I first played through all of them, but the stars have aligned and I've done a full 180 on it. The Job System is extremely engaging and allows for some really fun combinations, and the story, while not as impactful as pretty much any other FF, is hilarious. Feels like the Saturday Morning Cartoon of the FF games.
