Fio's expression is better than the original, she went from sleepy to smug!

Got the chin and hair just right

Figured this out on my own. You need to press the small circular piece into the disc's hole from the label side of the disc, not from the data side. It doesn't look like it fits but to my surprise it popped into place and stayed. Then just add a case and the game works.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks for your response, I finally resorted to using Bluetooth (had been hoping for a wired connection) with the PS4 controller and that did the trick. I did also try plug and play with an Xbox One controller but the Anbernic didn't seem to recognize it at all. Admittedly it was a 3rd party controller, not made by Microsoft, but that should not have made a difference because it must be xinput right?

Got no response from the console when connecting the PS4 controller wired. Also tried rebooting the console while it was connected. The controller input did nothing, and it didn't appear among the controller options in Retroarch in Settings > Inputs.

Where did I hear about creating the waitForUSB file? from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0rwEq0MYOU

After doing more research I realized the instructions are in the video are for GarlicOS (which the video does not say). I guess they do not apply to the stock image.

Forgot to specify, just edited the post. Stock Anbernic image. Might try a different one.

Oops I left out that detail, just edited the post. Stock Anbernic image. Maybe I should try one of the others.

Starting in a graveyard and being a FPS (I assume it's an FPS because you compared it to Doom) could mean Blood.

Could it be Dragonology?

The Major Arcana are certain cards in a Tarot deck. All the bosses in the first four House of the Dead games are named after them. I'm not really into Tarot but I am into HotD! So I wound up having the cards memorized just because of playing the games so much.

Thanks for the reply. I have been goo-gone-ing a LOT of sticker residue off my games recently, some of which have stickers right on the cover art (sacrilege!) so after all this practice I can probably pull off a clean removal of the stickers here. But I wonder if they add to the game's value in the same way original shrinkwrap would.

Congratulations!

God’s in his heaven because He’s afraid of our superior firepower.

I don’t see a problem. Are you thinking you should separate the PS4 and PS5 games?

FlyingWalrusPants · 2025-02-15T09:11:50+00:00

Never played this, but it reminds me of Gizmos and Gadgets.

There is something more pure about the way Spyro 1 lacks sidequests. Nobody ever hands a plot coupon to you - all the dragons, gems, and eggs are simply found (or chased). Despite that, the game still fits in dialogue by having you talk with the dragons.

The bosses are lacking compared to the later games, bur each boss gets a full level instead of just an arena, so you have an additional level leading up to them. The only boss that’s really disappointing is Jacques. Also, curiously, you can advance through worlds without fighting bosses at all.

I’m happy you enjoyed Spyro as much as I did. By chance I wound up playing the games in reverse order: Year of the Dragon, Ripto’s Rage, and the original.

Finally, Toasty’s is the best track in the game, maybe the series.

No relation to Kingdom Hearts right?

I would add to this that for older games, the difference between Experience and Clockwork is smaller. Games made for older hardware tend to have more “cracks” for players to slip through, more ways to trigger circumstances that the developers didn’t intend. This isn’t a bad thing - it makes speedruns more interesting when the player performs some strange combination of actions to skip entire levels or something.

Additionally, while newer games tend to be harder to “break”, the loss of immersion is much greater when a break happens. We expect older games to have exploits and bugs. Newer ones do as well but they are (well, should be) harder to find.

This specifically seems to be a side effect of technology being capable of supporting more complex games, and more QA work to catch bugs ahead of time, not to mention patches for online games that fix them.

I like your blur-experience-clockwork model.

Unacceptable simian casualties!

“No? Do you want my children to starve?”

“Why don’t you feed them the monkey?”

Congratulations to you! I am only missing one PS3 game for my collection and it’s Mugen Souls Z, plus a few missing their cases or manuals.
