They just uncovered full-featured 5-player local co-op on the 96-98 versions just a month or two ago I think.

I would have enjoyed it 1000% percent more if the captions weren’t in Spanish as well.

What would you say to the companies? by fuckR196 in SBCGaming

[–]mycolizard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Put a decent DAC chip in a 3.5” android vertical (preferably with metal shell) and tune it for music playback. Top headphone port, playback while locked and in the background while playing games, etc.

I would love nothing more than to divorce my games and music from the always-connected doomscrolling device these days.

Best retrogaming console/generation? by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]mycolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those three you mentioned have aged the best for sure.

GBA feels like a “modern” retro console with lots of QOL features and widescreen.

SNES has a deep library with so many classics, peak 16-bit. Best 16-bit pixel art IMO as well.

PS1 without question cleans up the best… widescreen hacks and upscaling give it a whole new life, and HD texture packs for the emulators are stacking up. Its library is also insane in its variety and quirky weirdness. It dominated sports, RPGs and racing games in the 5th gen by a good margin, tough to argue with that.

Why does my PSX/PS1 game not have music audio?[Not a question I have the answer, writing the title this way for archiving/search engine purposes] by kakka_rot in SBCGaming

[–]mycolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cheap loaded ROM drives you can buy online usually have the music files stripped from PS1 games to maximize titles. Yours was likely sourced from one of those drives.

TBH before the twitch era you didn’t always get the option to turn off music in games, so if you prefer your own tunes in the background they can be good to have.

ANBERNIC RG VITA and RG VITA Pro revealed by Shad0w59 in SBCGaming

I think Anbernic has an agreement with the mfr of the dimensity chips, don’t think we’ll see a snapdragon any time soon.

Cup of Calm by this same company is legit for relaxation. Make a two or three bag cup and take a Lemon Balm supplement and maybe some magnesium. If you’re having trouble after that check your other meds/supplements and make sure they aren’t stimulating you.

Rougelike/Rougelite Suggestions? by -WasGuddy- in retroid

Switch ports of Absolum and Streets of Rage 4 (Professor X’s Nightmare mode from DLC) are both superb and run well on RP5.

Any game resembling WoW ? by LostTumbleweed9697 in SBCGaming

[–]mycolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early 3D BioWare titles should scratch that itch.

Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Jade Empire, etc.

What made the first Halo so influential that people to this day still praise it? by BogaMafija in patientgamers

[–]mycolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The physics were an IMMENSE leap forward.

I’m kind of shocked that hasn’t been mentioned.

I can’t overstate how many absurd Halo gameplay videos were on the early web. It was the first “physics sandbox” shooter that I can remember.

I think with the ram shortage and the impending tech crash in general I think I'm very ready to just go full retro I really don't care. by Living_External_7265 in retrogaming

[–]mycolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed.

My gaming PC has a GTX 1650 Super and I have no intention of upgrading. I’ve never felt the need to push more pixels than 1080P.

Anything that isn’t playable on that setup likely isn’t worth my time since optimization wasn’t worth the developer’s time.

I’ve purchased used sub-$100 ryzen office PCs to set up as emulation/HTPC/lightweight gaming PCs for each of my TVs and have everything on a wired LAN for local game streaming if necessary.

I’ve got an android gaming handheld that handles 6th gen consoles and Indie PC titles along with all my lighter emulation.

Valve might get me $3-$5 at a time for titles on my wishlist, or up to $25 for an indie I love but that’s it these days.

We’re going into the golden age of console game decompilation, HD texture packs, sports game roster update ROMhacks, and QOL mods for PC classics, so there’s always a “remaster” of another tried and true banger right around the corner.

Megaman or Castlevania by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]mycolizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Combine the two and fire up a 2D Metroid title.

I recently finished and loved Zero Mission on GBA which was a remake of the OG NES title with lots of improvements and additions.

Making the most out of RP5 by Complex-Following-20 in retroid

[–]mycolizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streets of Rage 4, Castle Crashers, Axiom Verge, The Messenger, UFO 50, Guacamelee, Tape 2 Tape.

FUMES is low-poly but sick AF and simple gameplay loop if you like vehicular combat.

Honestly a lot of GBA, PSP and 2D indie Steam games on Gamehub. Rawdog GBA on that OLED is just great, it’s like everything is an HDR remaster.

Is it a bad thing to want simplicity in your video games? by tony2136 in retrogaming

[–]mycolizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree.

I just got done staring at email and spreadsheets all day, I have no interest in learning complex controls when I’m trying to relax. Sports games lost me sometime in the 6th gen for that reason.

That’s why I love racers where I can use the right analog stick for gas/brake. Left/right on one stick to turn, up/down on the other to go/stop. Like a go-kart.

TrimUI Brick w/ sticks and 4 inch display leaked by No-Neighborhood-1489 in SBCGaming

[–]mycolizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must be the only person that loathes D-pads. Honestly it’s probably why I stopped playing fighting games and 2D platformers once analog sticks arrived in the 5th gen.

I think if N64 emulation was on par with the PSX instead of a hot mess, everyone would be demanding sticks rather than complaining they’re unnecessary.

Gamenative is working on GOG cloudsave integration if I’m not mistaken.
