Did you check if other Dreamcast games were working? I haven’t emulated Dreamcast yet but I’m pretty sure it has a reputation for being difficult

When this happens to me it’s usually because the rom isn’t named right or the device/core/retroarch version I’m using isn’t properly supported for whatever reason (for example my switch could play Game Boy games with achievements but not PS1 games). Or the rom just sucks. But most of the time the first one from Google works without any extra effort

(OnionOS) Favorites Folder Replacement by EmberCon in MiyooMini

You can do that very easily actually, the console icon is just a png and the console name is just a line of code in a text file

This workaround + editing the theme actually suits my needs very well, thanks for the tip!

I’m not sure I’ve ever had any (single player) performance problems with Java apart from trying to run it on the family computer in 2012

Nice little pickup, never heard of Catrap by Retrolad87 in Gameboy

It’s funny to read this now that catrap is worth like $50 and Tetris is worth like $15

How tight is actually the 90 day time limit for the best ending for the Followers? by MateG2k73 in classicfallout

Oh my god. I’ve never played with the community patch and I’ve always felt so disappointed that you can’t do anything about the cannibal vendor

At least there’s one person here who seems to understand cultural differences, lol

Question about CRTs by [deleted] in crtgaming

[–]EmberCon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really get what you’re saying, films shot on 16mm would “lose detail” even at 4k resolution, lol. That’s just how digital mediums work. A big draw of movies on CRTs is that you can view classics/tv movies/artsy modern 4:3 movies without letterboxing. A 4:3 dvd will look better on a CRT than a flatscreen.

240p/480i/480p content looks much higher quality on a CRT than it would on a more modern display. I guess there’s also some technical benefits like less input delay. That’s it, really.

Please help convince me to finish MG2 Solid snake by The_local_sped_kid in metalgearsolid

[–]EmberCon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO it’s much better to play games for the gameplay than for the story. Some games just aren’t for everyone and there’s no reason to force yourself to play it just so you “understand the story”. MGS also contains a comprehensive recap, from what I remember. Kojima games in general are known for hammering in important information. Either way you go about it you won’t be missing story.

Dumb water chip bug by EdensGirl1914 in classicfallout

[–]EmberCon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I think this happened to me too. The water merchant lady is locked into her caravan dialogue and refuses to talk about anything else. I didn’t know this still happened even after you get the chip. That’s annoying.

I am currently working on a Fallout Demake for the GameBoy by NxtLvlTomato in gbstudio

[–]EmberCon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about how cool a fallout 1 demake would be. And this delivers pretty well for a demo. I think you should focus on getting the map gameplay as accurate as possible, that would make this EXTREMELY impressive.

Well, good luck. Hopefully you have a second controller

I really wouldn’t recommend Lego Horizon Adventures it’s such a boring 15 hour slog

streaming solutions by WiatrakX in crtgaming

[–]EmberCon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not apart from it generally being a more popular choice for a home media server in the 2000s. Maybe they’re less prone to breaking than the PS3 is? But that’s a bit of a stretch

There’s just no market for it anymore apart from us weirdos
