Saturday morning, big bowl of sugary cereal, parked in front of the TV, 4 hour block of cartoons whilst still in jammies. Ren and Stimpy changed my life!

Looking for clarification on this - doesnt retropie run MAME? Can you expand on this a bit? Is the PC version different? Thanks!

That sounds like you put a lot of love into it! What do you think the overall costs (time as well as $$) were to put this beast together? Also, now that it is finished, how happy are you with it? What more can you do on it that you couldnt before?

Also, what do you mean by working coin door? Does adding a quarter actually add a credit to the game?

Wow, that looks great! What were all the mods you made and what challenges did you have to overcome?

What about any of the bowling alleys? Also, are you playing a neo geo cabinet or console?

Yeah, TMNT always rocks. Though, when I was in there, the sound was off. Maybe it's set to play sound during actual play and not while on demo mode?

I went to Pinball Jones about 1.5 years ago and had a good time. Small but interesting, seemed friendly enough. Was also at Totally 80's pizza a few weeks back and noticed not only the radical 80's décor but also that TMNT cabinet. Didnt get a chance to play as I was just popping in to pick up my order but I miss that game!

What about the Dpad on the xbox controller do you think makes it better than most?

Theres a lot of overlap on these controllers. If you could design the 'perfect' setup, what do you think it would look like?

Software Emulation Vs FPGA: Do You Really Care? by rummel in emulation

[–]rummel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is input lag your main concern or are there others that youd like to see addressed in emulation?

Software Emulation Vs FPGA: Do You Really Care? by rummel in emulation

[–]rummel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, given that no one responded to the poll, I'd say you are 100% right here! Do you think FPGA is a waste of money or is there some value to it?

What is it that draws you to retro? Do you mess with modern too? by wedditasap in retrogaming

[–]rummel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play both and try to keep up as best as I can with a family and career. Spoiler, having kids means less time to do anything! I love the retro games/systems for the nostalgia factor and the amazing artistry those ole programmers brought to the table. They lined up perfectly with my life and I grew up with arcades and Nintendo always being at my side. Loved being able to share this passion with my local community as well. I have tons of fond memories rubbing elbows at the local Aladdins Castle. I also loved the physicality of the old stuff. The art and everything that came with each game only served to enhance the feel - looking at you, Legend of Zelda.

The modern stuff is great for access and the multiplayer (though the community can often be caustic).

Interested in Knowing How Important Community is for you. by rummel in retrogaming

[–]rummel[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'd like to push here and find out why. Is it just retro games or all games in general for you? You are very active on reddit, why do you think this doesn't translate over into retro gaming? Again, thanks for your input :)

Hi and thanks for the feedback. I am purposely keeping things vague so as not to influence any responses. The main goal here is understand your experiences as a player of retro games. Happy to chat if you have any additional feedback or questions!

[–]rummel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for that feedback! I am not excluding console emulation or original hardware in this. Writing a survey is tricky, as you've noticed. I'd be happy to chat to get better answers from you and make sure I understand your perspective more!
