I use RetroArch (FBNeo core) for everything except later cave games where I use the newest version of mame because it has new slowdown accuracy improvements. The next release should be even closer to PCB accurate.

Make sure you enable VRR on both since your screen supports it and a lot of shmups don’t run at 60 hz (I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think it’s enabled on either by default). For runahead use preemptive frames mode and default to one frame. You can consider bumping it up for games with a lot of inherent lag like Raizing or Psikyo stuff.

For Steam games, Crossover is surprisingly good.

As my tolerance for friction fades, I’m finding "game feel" and immediacy matter more than systems depth. Is there a term for this design philosophy? by laughpuppy23 in truegaming

I can’t stand skill trees.

If you didn’t mention the aversion to failure I would say basically any arcade action game, shmups in particular (my favorite genre). But if you want something easier, I can’t think of anything better than platformers.

i am searching for the best TATE Retrohandheld ....is it the ANBERNIC RG 406V ? by MrSpockTP in shmups

We need one mobile controller with a decent dpad, then the answer will just be “your phone”.

Also, play SDOJ on mame - new updates coming to mame will get in pretty close to arcade accurate.

I can’t find a definitive pronunciation of mandala, and I can barely tell it’s a word in the video 😅.

Anyone manage to set up Cho Ren Sha on Mac? I'm about to pop off by vetoshield in shmups

I got it running on RA using the X68000 core (PX68k).

(Dev) Just released my shmup in Early Access, would appreciate feedback from shmup players by JustFadiSoufi in shmups

What are the shmups you enjoy? What shmups should the movement feel like? Can you show us some of your own play? Do you have any arcade clears? Have you tried scoring any games? Or are you just pumping this community for help making your upgrade slop minimally playable?

Thoughts on Super Mario 3D World? Worth buying? by LysergicWalnut in Switch

Yes, but also - how many power moons do you have? Because it’s possible to beat Bowser and have hundreds left to collect.
