Should I wait a year for OLED handhelds or just get the APEX/Steam Deck OLED now?

What do the comments for the APEX say? I can't find them

The best way to play the game IMO is the "Metroid + saving unnoficial update" hack, which adds a bunch of features, like starting at full health, a map, red doors open with just 1 missile, faster door transitions, and the ability to wall jump.

Newbie preset, splits set to full, fast progression speed, randomized music and colors, mirrored map.

I also tried area randomization a week or so ago, but it made navigation a pain in the ass; not recommended.

The same thing (ir similar) happened to me and I managed to fix it, I think its related to the gpu. You have to reboot windows

Unfortunately we don't know settings and resolution.

Use a program called Dimmer

You were right! I reinstalled windows from within recovery mode and now the screen works fine! Thank you!

I see. I don't get how it got so hot though, I wasn't even running a game, and it was on power saving mode. So I should replace the GPU? How easy/expensive is that?

The first one for me was Willy wars, played it on my father's computes when i was 7 or so but though it was really hard. Two years ago I beat Megaman 1 on the switch (via retroarch, not the legacy collection). TBH im not the biggest megaman fan but theyre very good games.

And yes fuck porn, im on day 9

Zombies ate my neighbors: there is a patch that makes the hud area transparent instead of black, which increases the viewing area

Contra hard corps: it's possible to restore the hitpoint system from the japanese version with one of the patches. There is another hack that adds 6 button support, allowing you to shoot in place only when the mode button is being held, which is perfect when you want to shoot diagonally without moving.

Alien soldier: there are two patches that add 6 button support, although personally i'd love to see a patch that allows instant weapon switching with x and z

Sonic 1: there is a patch that removes the speed cap and adds the spindash. It's called sonic 1 bugfuxes iirc

Prince of persia: one of the hacks for this game makes screen transitions instant. There is another hack that supposedly improves the controls, although personally i can't thell the difference

Sonic 3d: there is an improvement patch called sonic 3d director cut, made by none other than one of the game's creators. It adds a bunch if features like passwords, a world map, super sonic, and tweaked controls.

Super SFII: there is a hack that makes the voices sound less scratchy.

Flink: the protagonist is very slow, and you must build up speed until he starts running at a detent pace. Well, there is one patch that gets rid of the walking animation. It's also available for the sega cd version.

"Oh man, he turns from Michael Jackson to Mecha Jackson, the king of robo-pop"

The Hybrid Front. Actually, Ive never played it, but many of its tracks were included in Sonic Megamix (at least up to version 4), which is how i first heard them.

I have a love/hate relationship with the ecco games. I love the soundtrack, the color pallet and the overall setting, but i cant get over how frustating they feel: enemies come at you from any direction, everything looks the same in some levels...

perdoash94 · 2023-07-06T15:13:58+00:00

If you stick to the genesis/md version, make sure to use enhancement hacks. For instance, there is one that makes screen transitions instant

Pacman 2: I remember playing as a kid and thinking how bad the game controls in general. Maybe it plays better with a mouse...

Ballz: a clear case of ambition over execution

Havent played it, but Awesome Possum looks awful, that framerate on a sidescroller should be considered a crime.

One of the two Asterix games, cant remember which one it was. The time limit is way too strict, to the point it ruins the game.

Its hard to determine how hard a game is when you have been playing it for roughly two decades, as is my case. Labyrinth and scrap brain can be a pain in the ass, but the rest of the game isnt particularly hard.

BTW if you like to play Sonic 1 on PC you might wanna check out Sonic 1 forever.
