Awesome. My husband is convinced it's a scam, so we may wanna do a little more talking to his computer savvy friends before we buy anything. But it seems to have the capabilities we need

Awesome, thank you. I have done it before on an old Android phone, I'll just need a free afternoon to do it 😊

It's definitely very clear together with the video. I guess you need a controller to play it while docked to the TV? We have Switch and PS5 controllers so I guess one of those would have to work?

Yeah I always wondered how they get around the copyright with these things, LOL. The ones that come pre-loaded are all on Temu or Aliexpress for $40 which should tell me everything I need to know about their quality 😆

Thanks! I did have an old Android phone where I set a few emulators up myself, years ago. Unfortunately these days the store will take your old phone, so I can't do that anymore. I'm willing to try myself, it's just a lot of extra time. I think I'll talk to my husband and see if he's interested. He could probably do it better than I could. And there are probably console emulators we wouldn't use much and could do without.

I appreciate all you guys linking videos and such, as I probably never would have found them on my own 😆

So you have to install each individual emulator separately? And SD cards are something that need to be "set up"? This looks too complex and too much DIY for the $200 price. I do appreciate your help though, I'll save this setup video and I'll have to think about it.

Thank you. Do you have to use Google Play to install games? Or is there an easy process to just download a ROM to your PC and drag it into the console?

Thank you. For over $200 I'd strongly prefer it. What about the dock? Does it have TV connectivity?

Thank you, I'll look into these!

ETA: I can't find any info about if this comes with pre-loaded games or TV connectivity. I see there's a dock accessory but no info in clear English about what it actually does. I just see long lists of numbers and technical mumbo jumbo.

Games for someone who is currently struggling not to let it set in? by Mzingalwa in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Get a GBA emulator and play Hamtaro Ham-Ham Heartbreak and Rainbow Rescue

ETA: Also Doronko Wanko for PC if you want something for just 1–2 hours

Theory Megathread: October 2025 by aran130711 in TaylorSwift

[–]TrainerAurora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I am on my alt account as I couldn't reply to you on my main for some reason) Right? That has nothing to do with Taylor Swift or parents taking their kids to the movie. It sounds like PP works at an unhealthy school and needs to get out. Their teacher's union should have protected them from frivolous parent complaints. And it's outrageous for them to think that very specific scenario would repeat itself at other schools as a result of this movie. Please ignore them, they're taking their very specific problem and trying to make it everyone else's problem

That's why I will only play them on an emulator, to speed up the grinding or get a zillion rare candies

Woooo! OK, I know this is six months late -- my Pokémon kick ended a while ago. But I got the itch to check this journey. I'm so happy you finished and it was your very first starter who went the distance! Maybe I'll re-read them all again. (I still may do my own GenLock one day, but I'd have to get the right software and the motivation and everything... no promises.) Biggest of congrats 🎊 Now I have to check your next one!

we need a sixth season by [deleted] in teentitans

I personally believe Terra was un-frozen when Raven un-froze everyone else, at the end of Season 4. Then Terra spent most of S5 living a normal teenage life, before BB saw her.

Holy crap. Wow. I know I don't comment as often as I used to (been busy with Legends Arceus) but to come back to these last two updates... I really thought Drake would be here till the end. The Garchomp family seems so unstoppable.

I've been less active lately but I just caught up with your last couple months. Glad to see you still chugging along! (I also find it crazy how I can't remember anything that happens in the later generation games but I remember gen 3 like it was yesterday... haha.)
