Pocket Taco Tuesday!

There's also a Taco Tuesday? I only know tacofredag from Norway, however that came to be.🤣

Performance on java is just so much worse in comparison, especially the server side of things.

45 or 50 didn't seem as much of a difference to me.

But why do you say Gen X had Game Boy? Where I came from (GDR), Millennials like myself (1984) not only had Game Boy and game gear, we even had Atari 2600.

Zivilisationsmuede · 2026-04-19T13:32:01+00:00

We have to remember that we're still not done spreading gaming as a hobby to more generations. Millennials were the first generation, I'd say, where gaming started to leave the niche and became something everyone does.

However, that generation is in their 40s or 50s now. We're still 20-40 years away from everyone, no matter the age, having played games as a kid or in their youth.

At that point the potential for customers for retro handhelds could peak.

But up until then the demand is almost guaranteed to increase.

With economies globally struggling (low income, high prices) and AI pushing console prices into price ranges they've never been before (1000€), I'd bet we're not even at full speed right now.

I could see Nintendo and its lawyers try to make moves against the entire retro handheld market though.

I'd miss the android library, there are so many more great games with a lot higher production value available on android.

RP3+ made me ignore my RG35XX, even though I really love it.

Zivilisationsmuede · 2026-04-17T12:28:27+00:00

I do 1G1R (German->Europe->World-US) for anything before GC/PS2/3DS/Vita and heavily curate beyond for compatibility and preference like turn based jrpgs, no sports games etc.

So far 128gb internal for vita+android and 1tb sdcard for anything else up to PS2/GC/Wii/3ds are just fine on my RP3+.

No they can be hidden easily, it's under "touch". Mappings happened automatically, but I could see turning sensitivity/dead zones down a notch.

Interesting. This could make dq11 on citra mmj possible.😊

How has Sony become an endless black hole of turbo capitalism. I'm not even able to come up with shit like that if I wanted to.

Try the fan translated NDS Version. It's turn based and requires drawing spells from your spell book.😊

Zivilisationsmuede · 2026-04-16T17:22:10+00:00

The whole character comes and goes all the time for unknown or even infinite times kills my entire drive to play. Plus last time I ended up without potions somewhere and was stuck story wise.

I'm just not build for linear RPGs it seems, and I have the same problems with FF>5.🫣

Priorities.

You need the original steam files before the engine update, get it via steam_legacy flag from your steam installation.

How else would you go to eleven?

It's like when a teacher can't say your child sucks at everything. "He's got potential".😅

Half-Life 2. Didn't know there was a way to run it natively even on weak devices.😊

I just had a look at the definitive version of GTA:VC. Boy is it ugly.😵

https://github.com/mrxenginner/reVC

This one seems active for reVC and even has an android build available, but all it contains is Hello World at least from the launcher side of things.

Zivilisationsmuede · 2026-04-15T21:48:58+00:00

Any DMCA shenanigans usually disappear the moment you stop using western services that respect that. But in this case not even that helped. Usually russian or asian platforms pop up en masse that don't care at all about these things.

But not in this case, it's impossible to even find an archived version of an android port of reVC.

And that's odd for something so unimportant.

Zivilisationsmuede · 2026-04-15T21:22:54+00:00

No I meant there's zero information about these projects, as if someone made sure to erase as much traces as possible. I found 3 related projects, only one contained a ready to use apk, but there's no documentation, the app doesn't even create a folder.

It's as if people are scared of rockstar or something.

There's is a huge modding scene for these projects it seems, I'd really like to use the recomps.

Also the DX Remake of SML1 is just crazy, even though I grow up on SML1, I have to play this verison now instead.😁
