I mean, I don’t know why I had to say it here, but basically I was looking at the list of FMV based games on the system because I wanted to see how many good games existed on there as people often say there are many shovelware titles on it.

So anyway, long story, I just felt like expressing myself to come up with an idea to see how many good games were on the system itself as it’s something that I wanted to do for fun.

All the effects are done in software, what tricks did they use? This should be a rather interesting discussion

Edit: were not are

Anyone else smell a scam?

My mom always made some amazing costumes.

Currently, I am using a Retrotink 5x pro to play my PS2 on my LG C2 tv. My Retrotink 5x pro is currently powered by the PS2 itself via one of the usb ports, so everytime I turn off the PS2, the Retrotink is also turned off. I was wondering if this is a safe way to power my Retrotink or if it would be better to use a separate usb charger?

I’m looking around online for an emulator device that can play Game Boy Advance games primarily and some Game Boy Color games…

There’s a lot of those available online that I’ve seen that reviews claim are reliable for purely gaming.

I’ve seen a few that advertise WiFi capabilities and such for battling and even some that specifically state ‘Mario cart racing and pokemon trading’ in the item description, but those ones have zero reviews on wack websites.

Problem is with any video review or anything that seems like a reliable source, I’m not hearing or reading anything on the Pokémon trading capabilities or anything along those lines. That specifically would be a huge factor for myself and my partner when buying a device.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with handheld emulator consoles that have trading/battle capabilities. Using a wire is fine like the original console.

Hello I have searched for information but I can't find anything, I am very new. Can someone clearly explain to me how I can play MSDOS and PC games on emuelec? I mean, what type of file do I have to download, what do I have to put in the Rom folder... Can you play old PC games, do you have to put them in the MSDOS folder? Anyway, any information you can give me.

Thank you.

I live alone, so I have all my retro shit set up in my living room. Two separate TV cabinets of similar size, one for my modern TV and consoles, and one for my CRT and retro consoles. I also have an OSSC hooked up to play my retro consoles on the modern TV. But now I’m debating moving the retro setup into a separate room, because it takes up a lot of space in the living room and I can’t really add any more systems right now, it’s pretty full.

Downside is, can’t use the OSSC anymore if I wanna play on my modern TV (however I usually do prefer CRT for retro stuff), and I can’t play stuff on my CRT anymore while watching a TV show on my modern TV. Upside is I get more space in my living room and I can add more retro systems in the separate room.

What do you guys prefer? Everything together in one room or separated?

Doesn't get more Halloween than Dracula, and I think we all know about Castlevania, so i thought we could discuss one of his more underrated titles. An interesting platformer, has good action and music. Wish you have a weapon and not be bare knuckling it, would make it far less difficult. Some more outside set pieces would be more interesting too. What do y'all think? Should it be resurrected or left in the dust? Happy Halloween 👻🎃

Edit: FOUND - Brook Wingman adapters. You're welcome (for anyone else doing dumb stuff like this)

Say I wanted to use a wired USB controller of any kind with my SNES. Is there a device that's basically a controller adapter which plugs into the SNES that has a USB port?

(Long explanation below) Setting up a media rack in the basement which sends RGB up to the 2nd floor. I'd like to have 1 set of USB controllers (probably an 8bitdo of some kind) for every console in the basement, but upstairs where I'm going to be gaming. I have been slowly amassing extron gear which will allow me to effectively switch USB over ethernet, so when I use the system to start SNES, it will power on the system, switch the video output, and ALSO switch player 1 and 2 USB controllers, theoretically, to the SNES. Which will load my flash cart and I can game upstairs. Same for Genesis etc. Cant do this without some sort of USB - to - SNES device.

Long story short, I'm moving and I have to give up CRT. There's nothing I can do about it.

I'm based in Australia and have a combination of PAL and NTSC consoles all running different either component or composite out (below), and I'd like to connect them to my TV. I don't have retro-tink money, and I don't want to mod each console for HDMI, so I was thinking about getting an OSSC 1.8 or a GSB-C.

I know that some of these devices don't support PAL or composite signals, so I'm sure what the best path forward might be.

Does anyone have any tips?

idk if this is a hot take or not. but I think this game is significantly better for multiple reasons. more variety in types of racing. more fluid gameplay. easy story mode and open world environment which made it stand out. heavy recommend.

Okay from what I remember it was mid to late 1990. It was a 2D top down the main character was a little guy that looked like the grim reaper but it was a red robe. You had to make ur way through little stair cases and doors to ultimately get to a dr.strange type portal to beat the level. There may or may not have been coins and possible shadow type monsters/sand monsters depending on the level that came after you. I also remember little Aladdin style window sills/doors and you could type in any number 1-100 and it would skip you to that level
