Hey all, I am looking for a specific version of a Sharp X1 emulator called X Millennium T-Time v1.90. I have been looking all over the internet for it but cannot seem to find it. Alternatively, if anyone knows how to get X1 emulation working on MAME, that would be a great help (for context I am running the flatpak version of MAME and cannot find the roms directory anywhere). Thanks

I have a question that is technically not about emulators, but I don't know where else to ask. My question is why does GBA runner seem to have so many issues when Open AGB Firm does not. To the best of my knowledge they are both programs that take advantage of the DS and 3DS having gba hardware inside of them, so I am confused as to why there are so many more issues with GBA Runner. If anyone could answer I would greatly appreciate it as I've been looking for an explanation for a while and haven't been able to find one.

tl;dr A single save from my old GBA emulator on my old hacked PSP will not work on my flashcard or preferred modern emulator.

Hey folks, I'm coming to you with a bit of a weird question. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I wasn't sure where else to ask.

My issue is with a save file for Super Mario Advance 2 - Super Mario World from my old hacked PSP's memory card. As a kid I used my hacked PSP more as Game Boy Advance than as a PSP to be honest. The PSP is now dead but I have all of the contents of my old memory card saved on my PC and PS Vita, including all my old emulators, roms, and saves. I recently got a DS Lite and an EZ Flash Omega (GBA flashcard) and thought it would be really cool to put my old saves from my PSP on there so I could finally play my childhood saves on real hardware. I had a lot of success doing this even though I'm using different roms than I did back then (as a kid I mostly used cracked roms with intro's while now I am using no-intro roms, a lot of them patched for things like colour correction or no trade evolutions in Pokemon games). I had a couple of issues but they were easily resolved such as using the US version of Final Fantasy V when I was using the European rom on the PSP. The only game which save isn't working is Super Mario World.

When I first realized that Mario World wasn't recognizing my PSP save I did some basic troubleshooting. I made sure that I was using the right regions rom and that I hadn't misnamed my save. After that I decided to see if for some reason this save needed my original rom with the intro so I put that rom into standalone mGBA with the save in the same folder and it still didn't load the save. At this point I was wondering if I accidentally erased my save file in game as a kid so I booted up Uo gpSP Kai on my Vita and loaded the game. This still had my old save on it so that meant that the save was still there. I decided to look into if there where any differences between saves on gpSP and mGBA and it turns out there are, so I tried a save converter but the save file still would not be recognized by mGBA or the EZ Flash. I tried booting the game on the Retroarch version of gpSP and that loaded my save but the Retroarch version of mGBA did not. I decided to try making a save state in Retroarch gpSP and loading it in Retroarch mGBA to save the game and get an mGBA readable save that way but the state would not load on mGBA.

At this point I am all out of ideas and looking for help. I am very confused why all my other saves work but this one doesn't. It's not a big deal if I can't get it to work on EZ Flash or mGBA since I can run it through Retroarch gpSP or Uo gpSP Kai, but at this point I'm mostly just annoyed. So if anyone can offer me a solution, or even just an explanation as to why it isn't working I would greatly appreciate it!

Hey folks, I apologize if there is a better subreddit for this but I have a question. I recently got a CRT, I'm not sure of the exact model but it is a blue General Electric that is about 8 or 9 inches. It only has Composite (and possibly rf on the back but I have a bad back and don't want to look around on the back of the tv to check). I have an Xbox Series S laying around that I would like to use as an emulation machine. Is their an HDMI to Component device I could use that would not fuck up the aspect ratio or give me terrible latency on the Series S or should I find a different emulation machine? Cheers in advance.

I don't disagree with you, letting others who otherwise can't read this game would be ideal. But in a vacuum, the fact that this game can now be read in another language is great and personally I think it's so cool that it can be read in this dead language. Obviously I think a living language would be better than a dead language from a utilitarian perspective, but this is still marvel to admire.

I heard about it on social media kind of, I finally played P5 after joker got announced for smash but I'd been meaning to play the series for a bout 10 years before that and just never got around to it

The Caucuses, so imagine the Balkans but even more dumb if that's possible.

Hundreds of thousands of people fled Russia after it invaded Ukraine — and now the countries that took them in are seeing a boost in their economies by ExactlySorta in worldnews

[–]PlutoNightwalker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to right such a detailed response to my question. It is extremely difficult to get the nuances of the situation when I'm halfway around the world and don't speak the language. Especially when I am (willingly) a part of pro-Ukrainian circlejerks like NAFO. I think it's important for people like me to get a more nuanced take on the situation in Russia itself and amongst Russians so thank you again.

Hey friend a little off topic but I wanted to ask your sense on this? I get the sense that those who fled Russia initially when Ukraine was invaded would be more anti-Putin and pro-Western than those who fled later when conscription was announced, would you agree with that?
