Is there a non-pozzed alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace for buying old computers and game consoles? Literally everyone is trying to scam you with prices that are 3-5x what the item is worth on these websites.

And I'll reiterate, set up meeting times ASAP. I don't know how many times I see people crying about a seller going with a different buyer after the person set up a meeting time... for 2 days later. Craigslist has so many flakes that no seller is going to wait for you to (hopefully) meet them a week later when they have somebody else willing to seal the deal right then.

Wipeout. The handling feels a bit more responsive than the PS version, but the framerate is more unstable.

No they don't. You can also more elegantly control the game speed compared to using jank like moslo on a real DOS install. You're a zoomie who can't read a manual and edit a text config file.

Literally irrefutable

only good thing about SOR3 was you got to play as Roo and Shiva if you could unlock them under certain conditions.

Bad thing was that in addition to the super charged difficulty levels, Electra and Soozie were made to be covered up with more formal clothing.

You have fucking weird priorities. Maybe talk to someone iRL and work out these mental health issues of yours.

Never seen anyone do that. I use shaders, some of them look great, I'm twice as old as you, and I don't care how you play video games.

On the one hand, while it's fine for those FMV adventure type games, they were overly ambitious with trying to make those Zelda and Mario games. On the other, if not for those games, it would've been forgotten almost entirely.

I see that on the handheld general nobody gives a fuck about this little gem. Just hoarders of devices that rot in dusty drawers. That's reddit-tier shit.
Who has a SF2000 and actually uses it? I have one, and I like to carry it around when I go to work, or I have a day off and stay in my garage to fix something. When I need a break I barely wash my hands and play some good ol' arcade games. I didn't buy the additional controllers and that was a mistake.
Has anybody used multicore for Pico-8 and other cool stuff?

What were the best GBC exclusives? As in, not a dual GB/GBC game, or something that's more or less a port (like SMB DX). Wario Land 3? The Oracles games?

While I loved (and still love) the console, it feels like the most popular games at the time were titles which were simply "enhanced" for the GBC, like Link's Awakening DX or Pokémon G/S, and that a lot of the heavy hitter handheld titles for the GB line were either released during the lifespan of the original GameBoy or didn't come until the GBA.

No. But there was an addon that restored its functionality, which I don't think came outside of Japan, so basically no in every country that matters. And while it looks like the wireless link cable, it is a different addon.

This could have been really good if it wasn't for that abysmal framerate. A bit short but the replay value could come from the randomized layouts.

It's strange. I went from liking this game as a kid, to disliking it as a teen, back to liking it as an adult. I think it shows you can do a lot to encourage and reward player engagement without making a hard game. I really liked the destructible setpieces, and being able to disarm and take opponents' weapons was cool.

But what I really like about it is that you can go exploring of your own will and gumption and actually make meaningful discoveries. Meaningful in the grand scope of the game? Absolutely not. But meaningful in the sense they actually offer new gameplay challenges or minigames, practically miniature little dungeons in a lot of cases. People are probably mad they pared down the main dungeon content and included a bunch of grottos but I actually love it. Having something dense in gameplay after independently making a discovery is something every game in this series lacks after the first two games, and it's the BEST thing about these games. Even the non-retro ones people are crazy over now make sure they give you a pat on the head, a "there there" and a free reward macguffin if God forbid you have to solve a riddle or clear a challenge before opening up a level, where that "level" is just one fight or even a free reward in a lot of cases. It's like they all missed the point, except WW, which only half-got it itself.

Mystic Heroes is pure kino. Shame we never got the GBA companion game still exclusive to Japan (and unlocked something in GCN Mystic Heroes), called "Magical Hoshin". Was my go-to multiplayer game before getting PSO Episode I & II and Crystal Chronicles. That said, it's also on PS2 if you have one (though, besides the new playable characters like Captain Dax, I'm not sure what it adds or takes away from the GameCube original, as I never had it).

Yeah, instead we got Wind Waker which looked awful from its first trailer and continues to look awful.

Third worlder here. In around maybe 1995 or later, we didn't have any hourly limit per month, but they charged a monthly fee plus per hour rate on top of the telephone bill (also the inconvenience of not having a secondary line). And god fucking damn it was expensive. I remember only surfing around for some antivirus updates and IRC, and then the monthly bill came up and we decided to sell the 33.6k modem. Had to IRC chat on the post office for a while after that.

A thread for those using their phones for retro-gaming, from emulation to ports of retro-games.
I have a Poco M4 Pro and I use Retroarch with a Bluetooth controller (one of those cheap ipega controllers) and it works fine outside of N64 emulation giving me stuttering, heard I'm better off using mupen64fz instead.

There is something in the back of my mind that says "That's wrong, that shouldn't be possible, a phone shouldn't be able to emulate a semi-recent console" when I see stuff like that, like when I learned that 128gb USB drives are only about 20 bucks now. I feel old... The N64 is almost 30 years old.
