I'm curious what you guys use for emulation. I've always used a soft modded Wii with homebrew. I mainly play Snes, GameCube, Ps1, N64. I've been thinking about switching to a mini PC hooked up to my TV with wireless controllers so my setup is cleaner and i would be able to play dreamcast and ps2 games

It seems weird around here, it seems to be regarded as the greatest gaming ever was, but in general maybe not. I never got why people love playing Mario so much, even as a kid I got bored with it.

Why not just buy an SF2000 or PowKiddy Q90 or something? Outside of -maybe- Brick Game LCD toys, most of the handhelds I've bought exceeded my expectations, including even Famiclones. Sometimes it's better just to collect the cheap ones if you just want a quick fix, that way you can collect as many as you want without having to pay out so much. There's a lot of nice-looking handhelds but there are cheaper alternatives to basically every single one. There's also PowKiddy Q20 and LDK landscape if you can find one

It's a cool game but it honestly filtered me because of the random difficulty spikes and my Digimon randoml shitting before I could get them to a toilet. Also there was one status debuff early on that killed my Digimon outright. I'm talking super early when you're only able to get the daily freebies from the first village. I kinda want to pick it back up now.

I cant believe in 25 years there's still no good games in this genre. Why does every attempt fuck up a simple isometric shooter? Foxhole is complete ass even today in comparison to Infantry, its not even funny.
>simple controls
>easy and quick access to fun
>deep mechanical depth while still being simple

Every other title trying to do top-down/isometric shooters over complicate the fuck out of everything. Atleast Infantry is on Steam now, dont have to suffer hordes of chinese motherfuckers to get my fix. Foxhole can die now.

Farland Saga 2 PC version has an Omake folder in the CD. It has some cute arts and wallpapers. I'm looking for it because my friend lost his disk long time ago. The PS version is laggy and has worse graphic.

What's the most difficult thing you've ever done in a retro game?

For me it was one coin clearing this behemoth. Took me months of hardcore grinding before one day I finally got lucky and beat it on my last life. My heart was probably beating 200 times a minute

This is the 3rd time I've played through Tales of Symphonia, but the first time I've played the GC original, and... WOW

I cannot fathom how I played this game in the dogshit 30fps version it exists as in all the re-releases. I've always been a guy who laughs at muh 60FPS fags but it is just absurd how much smoother and silkier this plays vs the PS3 version, much less the 2023 port. And the sad thing is this is commonplace across all companies these days when it comes to port quality.

If you can’t tell the difference between 30 and 60 you’ve been lobotomized

>>10879943
Still the GOAT JRPG, one of the few (the only one maybe) Tales of that doesn't aggressively waste your time with random encounters or huge hallway corridors and ridiculous backtracking (second half of Abyss)

Nice story focus but still very gamey and nice quick Zelda-like dungenons. Cool action combat but still rather clunky and methodical and not too obsessed with trying to be DMC-lite

Maybe THE "shonen style" JRPG cast and an actually normal Chad protag who doesn't have long hair in his face, isn't an emo, doesn't wear girl's clothes, isn't an edgelord (not a total idiot either)

The 30/60FPS thing isn't that bad unless you literally play one right after the other, side by side.
I've played through the PS2 version countless times and grew up on the GC version. I'm content to play either at this point, but my annual playthrough is usually on the PS2.

The best part is thst Scamco announced an update and made a huge deal over it.
Not a single change or fix featured making the game 60fps.

Same shit with Star Ocean 2 remake where Square-Enix did a whole video on new content yet leave the switch version 30fps, despite the fact there's now a mod upping that.

What's the final word on the English translation? It was controversial at release because it's a Japanese -> machine translation to Spanish -> English translation. Understandably there would be something lost in translation with a funnel like that.

But is the translation actually bad? I've been holding off in case a better English translation comes along. But if we're talking the occasional Engrish, but the actual translation is sound, I can vibe with that. I'm wondering if it's just a bad translation, or if it's badly translated, if that makes sense.

It's a vague and trippy game. A shitty translation might actually affect nothing, who's to say. The game is clunky and lives off of its vibe though.

In all honesty I'm just happy with the cover art and sometimes posting it on hidden gem threads, it looks mysterious. Playing the actual game is not a priority of mine.
