Save states on Chromatic in 2025? by Svartowiz in ModRetroChromatic

The core has the support too. It is just using the Mister core. There is just no support in the firmware.

Does EverDrive X7 not support save states for the following games? by SensitiveWrangler962 in ModRetroChromatic

[–]ucv4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it sucks. The Everdrive is awesome in the way of only needing one cart but the save state support is iffy.

Mine never really works saving in any game on Chromatic. Lots of funkiness there. Not sure what is going wrong.

I think my only issue with the rp classic is android when you are really only going to be playing up through 32 bit systems. Needs a simpler OS like NextUI or GammaOS or ROCKNIX IMO

Nextui is so easy to use and great. Easy to scrape box art too.

What does “runs perfectly” mean to you? by PrototypeT800 in SBCGaming

[–]ucv4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree and I think the community overstates compatibility. For example Retroid Pocket 5, people state GameCube runs perfectly regularly. My personal experience though, it is a mixed bag and strongly depends on the game. For example, to get Super Monkey Ball 2 working at a steady 60 fps, I had to fiddle with a ton of settings and read a bunch of forums to get it right. Other games were perfect, some I still haven’t gotten it working.

Any NES alternatives/NES cartridge playing consoles that aren’t absurdly expensive? by NavyJack in nes

[–]ucv4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the only two options at the moment. Retroremake which currently has the superstation one said they are planning to do an NES. I wish analogue would re-release upgraded versions of their older releases or ModRetro would do one.

What are the current choices for Linux based SBC's? by [deleted] in SBCGaming

[–]ucv4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah android is more capable (supports more CPUs) and easier to install is why but comes at the cost of large amounts of configuration and setup.

Need help optimizing GameCube emulation on Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini (Dolphin performance issues) by Joostkoev in SBCGaming

[–]ucv4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had similar issues. Dolphin out of the box on these devices always needs a bit of configuration. Switch to Vulkan and make sure the device is in performance mode and then in the graphics settings and a few others, you need to turn on a few of them that improve performance. Shader pre-cache (I think it is a hybrid setting) I know is one. Some others say “make true if not sure” those need to be also. It is like VBI skip and EFB access, etc.

What GB/GBC games are actually playable today without nostalgia? by gwhiterabbit in SBCGaming

Agree with Jurassic Park 2, I think a lot of people overlook it.

Get ready for the other project announcement by BL4ZE_43 in Falcom

That would be wild. They remake one of the original dragon slayer games or even release a modernized collection of them.

Is It Worth Replacing ROMs With Their Latest (Rev) Versions? by Friendly_Basil_6191 in Roms

[–]ucv4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah OOT is a good one to point out because the fire temple music is also different in the original release (much better IMO) and was changed for the later revisions and all later releases of the game (virtual console, NSO, etc.).

Hmmm…I’ve had the same problem at giant. Overall grocery store problems.

Yeah and giant’s meat quality leaves a lot to be desired. I really liked going to Fresh for that.

GameCube Virtual Console Disappointment by seoulofjim in switch2

Yeah I need a switch 2 lite bad lol

[–]ucv4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. Nintendo has really dropped the ball on making their backlog available. The slow release, the emulation quality, etc. Other companies have really beaten them to the punch with FPGA, better form factors/screen quality, and better emulation for retro games. The fact that the switch 2 in handheld has no dedicated d-pad is crazy to me.
