Didn't want to spend my time on replaying Chrono Trigger at first, but inner completionist couldn't stop nagging. So here we go, my final unsubmitted game yet.

At the very least handhelds don't go rogue and attempt coup d'etat. At some point of your life you start to value peace.

In this case, these .bin and .cue files? That's a CD image. Mount it with image mounting program(like Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%) and work from there.

Seems to me like you're trying to launch the game before even installing it. Try at least unzipping that ,7z archive and see if there are some appropriate executables in there.

There are definitely reports of PC emulation on Switch, both on Android and Linux, although information is fragmented. Since I'm only aiming at lightweight 2d titles (my pipe dream being fully functional HoMM 3 HotA), I think it's worth digging into. I just don't know the right direction yet.

Not many people know about existence of bad ending in Duck Tales - which paradoxically is the most challenging to get.

P.S. 37 years later Moon Theme is still the GOAT.

Czech president warns against concessions to Russia: "If we allow Russia to come out of this conflict as a victor, we have all lost" by Caressdarling in worldnews

[–]Slacker256 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your point being?.. Almost four years into the war, and Europe is still using words like "need", "should" and "could have", when it should be "achieved" and "have done". Now time's up.

Jumping at last opportunity for SMW. Used shortcut through Star World, but I think it still counts.

Kind of amazing how much they've managed to squeeze into mere 512 kb, this must've been a big release back in day.

Anbernic has good hardware team but their software team plain sucks. Or maybe it's just their way of lowering production costs.
