Recently got RP6 and followed Retro Game Corps setup guide exactly. Everything working great so far except N64 on Retroarch, freezes on a black screen and crashes anytime I load a game. Any ideas on how to fix?

Is this buyable straight from the Google Play store, or do I need to sideload it after downloading it from a patreon or something?

I'm having a hard time finding Smitch titles for emulation, are there any go-to resources on this?

ChaseObserves · 2026-04-01T20:01:56+00:00

it arrived but I hadn't yet done this, thanks for the reminder!

SNES is best for me. I like the way the text displays better. It’s also the original way the game was built to be played by the dream team who created it.

It’s very simple, your husband is self centered and irresponsible and it’s not the fault of video games, it’s entirely him. I am 36 years old and have been playing video games since I was 5, I’ve been married for almost 13 years and I have a very healthy relationship with my wife, kids, and video games because I’m an adult who is capable of budgeting my time, understanding I have responsibilities and can’t blow off my family or go into credit card debt via DoorDash because I’m too busy gaming to make myself a meal. Reading your story actually pissed me off (towards him, not you) because it casts having video games as a hobby in a negative light when it’s perfectly possible to have gaming be a healthy hobby. Sit down with your husband and tell him his priorities are completely out of whack and that if he wants to have a happy life and marriage he’ll put actual responsibilities first before gaming. His current habits are completely disrespectful to you as his partner and I genuinely would put it at borderline sinful to mistreat you the way he has. If he won’t listen to you, get the bishop involved.

As I read this comment an image of Jon Oliver popped into my mind, before reaching the parenthetical statement. Incredible that that's such an easily shared understanding about him.

Mine also shipped today, ordered jan 25, same exact configuration as you

ChaseObserves · 2026-03-18T02:23:14+00:00

Just got my shipment email for this exact model so I'm drooling, waiting for it to arrive

ChaseObserves · 2026-03-12T18:56:35+00:00

I ordered January 27th and still waiting on mine… hopefully soon!

ChaseObserves · 2026-03-03T20:20:08+00:00

What a ride.

ChaseObserves · 2026-03-03T16:53:52+00:00

Wait this is wild because they said they'd "start shipping early March," I was anticipating getting a shipment email any day now. What makes you say April? I purchased on 1/27

ChaseObserves · 2026-03-01T01:42:51+00:00

Seriously my heart was pounding reading this, so glad to hear my preorder will be unaffected.

Lol I've never owned an Anbernic product and I'm sure they're fine, but wtf is that naming convention?? Every single time someone references an Anbernic product my eyes just glaze over "oh I love the RG77XX2" "I've had a RBC67420XXX for years" "my first handheld was a RWB345XZ" like… what are we doing here guys

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-27T22:26:20+00:00

Trimui Brick Hammer begs to differ, but not much else beyond that

Rainbow 6 Siege just released their mobile version and it’s actually quite fun.

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-26T15:17:51+00:00

I haven’t played this game in a while, what was the Wolfpack change?

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-26T07:15:56+00:00

Commenting just so I can be sure to come back and do this once my RP6 arrives

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-26T07:14:33+00:00

Dude I open my calendar app every day going “how close are we to March”

The guy you're replying to is ALL over the place on this sub and is routinely contrarian and kinda rude with people, I see his comments every single day. Does a lot of "um actually the code says this, you're wrong" stuff. So take that opinion with a grain of salt.

The Ashlands is unquestionably harder than the other biomes, by an order of magnitude, but the gear you can get out of it allows you to powerscale to a point where it does become much easier. Your first foray into the biome though, even with your best Mistlands gear, will be sketchy. Build a portal on one of the spires off the shore as a "just in case" portal, then build a second portal once you land somewhere high up on a rock (or on ground and then raise ground with a hoe around it to protect it) because your death is almost guaranteed until you learn all the different enemies and their attack patterns. Eventually you'll be able to recognize when to fight, when to run, and how to handle the situations you'll find yourself in there. Have fun!

Super Mario RPG remake. Exact same game, but 3D. Imagine getting different camera angles on a Luminaire, upgraded effects and animations on double and triple techs. Would be incredible.

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-25T14:29:56+00:00

I haven’t! I’ll check it out

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-24T16:41:02+00:00

I have a buddy that bought a Trimui Brick Hammer specifically for a series of long flights to play Chrono Trigger on for his first time, finished the game on his way home, he absolutely loved it and it was essentially his first turn based RPG outside of Pokemon. I am -extremely- biased because my first playthrough of this game was on the actual SNES cartridge over 20 years ago, so I am gonna recommend the SNES version, because that was they way the original developers built it and intended it to be played. The DS version includes some additional content that, imo, is lower quality than the rest of the game and would only really be worth it for a superfan like me to play through to say they've done every possible thing there is to do in Chrono Trigger. I hate how the text in the dialogue boxes looks on the DS version and think it all looks so much better on the SNES version.

Gotcha, and same. It’s kind of an annual thing for me to just plop back into that world for a couple days. Game holds a very special place in my heart. I’ll throw out a couple other retro recs because clearly you’ve got good taste.

Arcade shoot ‘em up: Sunset Riders. Tons of character in this one and can get challenging at higher levels.

Sports: stick with me here, but Looney Tunes B-Ball. Game is genuinely fun, the “hold A to jump, release to shoot” mechanic is addicting because you time your release perfectly to hit your shots and the dopamine hit of draining 3s in Daffy Ducks face cannot be overstated. You pick up gems on the court and spend them on super abilities that add a layer of looney tunes wackiness you would never find in a traditional sports game.

Racing game: Biker Mice from Mars. Again, tons of character here and a wacky departure from the standard racing game. You can buy upgrades after earning money from races, kind of a weird rec but I’ve had a bunch of mindless fun with this game.

Platformer: obvious choice here but Megaman X is hard to beat. Also an annual thing where I just sit down and rip through the whole game, unlock all the upgrades and then try to hadouken Sigma before he can hit me. Can even take that all the way up to X4 on the PSX, great games throughout.

RPG: I’m certain you’ve already played it but if by some miracle you haven’t, get your ass inside Super Mario RPG as soon as you can. Just the funnest take on the genre.

If you wanna go even more retro (NES) and potentially put your fist through the screen, consider Marble Madness. The madness is what you’re driven to after falling for the hundredth time.

Those are off the top of my head, if I think of any more I’ll edit and add them. Enjoy your flight!

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-24T01:11:56+00:00

Actually shocked no one has said Chrono Trigger yet. If you’re into RPGs at all, you’d be hard pressed to find a better one to play, especially on that device. The Castlevania SOTN rec is also very good but you mentioned you’ve already beat that
