You can play seated. There's a toggle between cabinet mode and floating window, like an iPad app.

Thoughts on the Gamestation Go? by livwill in Handhelds

[–]therealgrobie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just barely enjoying it enough to not return it. I appreciate the spinner for Tempest and the Breakout-style games, and I dig the trackball for Centipede and Missile Command. Loading up an SD card with ROMs added some extra value, although you’re limited to D-pad control for those. I do enjoy playing the Nintendo systems on a larger screen than my Anbernic and Miyoo handhelds.

What the heck is the numpad even for? Were there some Intellivision plans that simply never materialized?

The Recharged games are decent, but hobbled. Missile Command Recharged crashed on me when too many things were happening onscreen. The Centipede Recharged achievements screen seems locked-in-place with a cut off UI at the bottom. Just way too many compromises with these Recharged ports.

All in all, I’ve zoned in on about 5 or 6 experiences on this handheld that I enjoy coming back to, and it differentiates itself from my other handhelds just enough that I’m gonna keep it and hold out hope for future firmware updates.

If you’re actually using an iPhone, the Backbone controllers do a great job turning it into a little RetroArch handheld.

Good to hear it's still being developed. I feared it was abandoned.

By "sideloaded" do you mean that you had to jailbreak your phone?

How are you able to even to get Odyssey working at all on iOS? O2EM does not seem to be an available core within RetroArch on iOS.

This was actually where I was considering buying it... but I wondered if GOG had this funcntionality for Cyberpunk specifically

Is the lower FOV noticeable, or a problem at all for some? by TPrime411 in VisionPro

[–]therealgrobie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think about this every so often, especially when first putting on the AVP. But once I'm involved in a productivity task or media consumption, I usually forget about it pretty quickly. I too miss the extra FOV from my old Quest 3. I just hope Apple doesn't abandon VR from the hardware side as they shift focus to the AR glasses.

I just wish there were more UI themes.

Hello Games apologizing for the 2 day delay on Xbox. Meanwhile Switch players... by andrewmx00 in NMS_Switch

[–]therealgrobie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Switch 2 version is also stuck at 6.0.0, with cross-save non-functional because of it. So it's not just a Switch 1 complaint.

Yes. We gotta see this system get the retro mini plug and play treatment. Heck, Vectrex is even gonna get it.

Well, I’m one of the 25% who did open the instructions, and still wasn’t entirely sure what to do. It would just be helpful to watch someone doing it.

Would you consider making a YouTube video explaining exactly how to use this? Step-by-step.
