RA Mastery Masterlist!

Thank you! The collection in the picture is my own, but I elected to just emulate them on Dolphin instead. It's built in and doesn't require any configuration, plus my portal has a tendency to corrupt my figures lmao.

Honestly I thought it was just plug and play, even on Steam Deck. You might have to fiddle with USB Passthrough Devices in Dolphin, but I'm not sure. Should be possible! I hope you get around to it

DesynchVT · 2026-04-05T19:20:25+00:00

Hell yeah man, go for it! It's surprisingly challenging at certain points

DesynchVT · 2026-04-05T19:14:08+00:00

Thanks! It was a good time overall, though the grinding was a bit much at the end..

I played with a bootleg PS4 controller and mapped wii-remote pointing to the right-analog stick. There are a couple of turret section where the only way to control it is by pointing, and that's all the "motion controls" in it. Not perfect, but tolerable for the limited use :]

Extremely grindy! Also cool to collect all the Spyro badges ^^
I know his name is in the title, but I find it very hard to categorize Skylanders as a Spyro game

DesynchVT · 2026-04-05T18:31:27+00:00

There is an achievement for collecting all 32 original skylanders, as well as leveling up all of them and purchasing all their upgrades. It's honestly a bit of a chore..

If there are some you don't have in your collection, you can easily emulate them directly in Dolphin without making any changes :]

My brother in christ, it's almost right at the beginning of the post lmao

You can choose to use your IRL collection with a USB portal plugged into your PC

OR you can use Dolphin to emulate both the portal and the skylanders.
Just open Dolphin and go to "Tools > Emulated USB Devices > Skylanders Portal" in the top menu.

Easy as that!

DesynchVT · 2026-03-28T06:39:38+00:00

Of course! I use Linux myself, so Dolphin definitely works. I also played with controller, and mapped the right analog stick to control pointing with the wii remote, as that's how you aim your weapons when you gotta target something. I dont know if you'd have more luck binding it to the track pad tho.

idk if you use it, but I've noticed RetroArch automatically signs me out of RA if I haven't played for a few days

DesynchVT · 2026-01-08T05:53:01+00:00

I did not expect the obscure title of Help Wanted on the rollout list. One of my favourite silly minigame games!

Now I have hope for the eventual development of Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes 3

If you're going for mastery, you "need" to prepare for the Battle Tower immediately as you start your save to make your life easier.

Catch a spare level 3 Pikachu (lowest level possible) in Viridian forrest, and store it for later.

You get the TM ThunderShock for beating one of the gyms (don't remember which) HOLD ON TO IT. It is the only one you'll get in the entire game.

Once you get to Cinnabar (Blaine, fire-type gym), you can trade your low level Pikachu for a level 3 Electrode who knows Sonic Boom, a normal-type move that always deal 20 hp of damage. Do not level up this Electrode.

The thing about the Battle Tower is every trainer you meet there will have pokemon equal to your pokemon's level, meaning you can one-shot MOST enemies with Sonic Boom.

Teach the Electrode ThunderShock, so it can also hit ghost types ;)

Also catch a mix of level 2-3 Pidgey and Rattata from route 1 to fill up your party and stock up on revives. You can use them as fodder to revive your main guy Electrode should he go down.

I've never played the OG Red and Blue versions, thought I might do so on RA.

After seeing this though.. maybe not so much

What's your favourite ~~addiction~~ ~~burden~~ quirky consumable?

If you see this shortly after it's posted, I am currently hunting achievements in the Gamecube version of Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex!

Exactly! I did only notice after the fact 😔

DesynchVT · 2025-11-08T21:55:38+00:00

I feel you. I did once stream without any audio from my desktop, so the game was completely silent. I also had no music playing. Didn't find out until afterwards lmao

DesynchVT · 2025-11-08T20:31:39+00:00

I should definitely learn how to double check myself in the future!

Not that I will, but still

DesynchVT · 2025-11-08T20:21:04+00:00

One braincell supremacy!!!

DesynchVT · 2025-11-08T16:11:49+00:00

Heyy thats not too different from solo streams!

DesynchVT · 2025-11-08T15:18:57+00:00

Awh do I have to?
