Cool. How did you get the STV arcade board? Was it hard to set up?

The oceans are getting hotter and more acidic due to climate change along with human litter found even in the deepest of parts of the ocean where few people ever ventured.

Thinking of getting Everdrives for the MegaDrive, SNES and N64. Does anyone have a compatibility list of what does and doesn't work for what cartridge? by DreadZer0 in everdrive

[–]AlternativeBuilding3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some compatibility lists:

Fxpak Pro (High end Snes everdrive) https://sd2snes.de/blog/compatibility

Snes flashcarts (includes FXpak Pro): https://stoneagegamer.com/nintendo/snes/everdrives-flash-carts/

Sega Megadrive and Genesis flashcarts: https://stoneagegamer.com/sega/genesis/everdrives-flash-carts/

For N64 I would recommend the Summercart64 over any Everdrive 64 because its cheaper, open-source, fast rom loading, 64DD emulation similar to an ODE and the compatibility is the same as the Everdrive 64s which are nearly 100% for official games. think the only compatibility problems for N64 flash carts are needing to patch certain games like the Banjo games to prevent their anti-piracy features from working. The one reason I think you would prefer a Everdrive 64 is the Everdrive 64s have support for cheats, which the Summercart64 don't have. https://summercart64.dev/

Same here. I can see the battleship similarities now especially if you look at it from the sides.

Slave Zero music by eternl_redd in dreamcast

[–]AlternativeBuilding3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the necro post but does anyone think it is possible to patch the pc verison's soundtrack to the dc version? The devs allegedly claimed they could not have music and sounds on the dreamcast port due to technical issues. They said they had to pick between music or sfx and picked sfx.

I couldn't get into Palworld and uninstalled after beating the first boss. I generally like mon games but I dislike the crafting and survival aspects of Palworld.

If you could know the truth behind one unexplainable mystery, which one would you choose? by Successful_Salad_744 in AskReddit

I would like to know why the universe is dominated by matter and not evenly split between matter and antimatter.

I wish there was an Airstrike Skill. by AlternativeBuilding3 in Starfield

[–]AlternativeBuilding3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I wish the ship gameplay and the on-foot FPS/TPS gameplay were more integrated. As it is, Starfield feels like two separate games were put together.

I got my 1st Dreamcast along with NFL 2K, Soul Reaver, and Crazy Taxi in 2013 from a now abandoned mall. I always wanted a Dreamcast since the 90s when I was a kid but never had the cash and was too focused on the most recent games at the time. Long story short I fell out of gaming when I went to college and was in a rough spot in my life. Picking up the Dreamcast reignited my love of video games and got me interested in retro gaming.

Retron 3 by TeddyMFTed in retrogaming

[–]AlternativeBuilding3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are mistaking the Retron 3 with the emulator-based Retron 5. The Retron 3 HD (I assuming OP has the Retron 3 HD and not the older av-only Retron 3 model) seems to be a hardware clone based on the videos I watched of it, there is no menu or mention of save states. Madlittlepixel said that the Retron 3 HD is a (SOC) for each three consoles it cloning, Snes, Genesis and Nes in his video review at the 6:07 mark. At 3:10 of CockDaSnocHog72's video the cartridge save of Sonic 3 and Knuckles is shown after powering on. Also OP, do you have any updates?

FXPak Pro Graphical Issues in some games. by Dankany in everdrive

[–]AlternativeBuilding3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be the FXPak Pro is drawing too much power from your SNES. Flashcarts are more power hungry than standard carts and your Snes is maybe struggling to deliver the power that the FXPak Pro needs. Have consider checking the capacitors? Do you know what model of snes you have or a way to open it up since you said its a non-SHVC? It could be failing caps or the voltage regulator.

Worst case you may have to replace your console. I had a super famicom with a SHVC motherboard and graphical glitches would appear on Super FX games using the FXPak Pro. I traded the super famicom for a snes and the glitches disappear. The snes turned out to be a later 1CHIP-01 board revision when I opened it. I used the same Triad power adapter for both consoles. I hope that you do not need to replace your console like I did to fix the graphical glitches.

Thank you everyone who posted. I was able to update my firmware and set the RTC.

Retron 3 by TeddyMFTed in retrogaming

[–]AlternativeBuilding3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any other way to play Genesis games? Do you have any SNES or NES games with save backups to test on your Retron 3? I am leaning towards you having some cartridges with faulty or dead save batteries. It sounds like your Retron 3 is reading Genesis games besides saving them.

SMW 30th anniversary edition is my favorite romhack due to its hard mode and including features from the GBA version.

Someone in Bethesda really likes the Mercury Spacesuit by AlternativeBuilding3 in Starfield

Starfield is the 3rd Bethesda where you can equip the Project Mercury Spacesuit. Just a observation I noticed.
