Remember Win Elvis-n-Space? Or Lemmings Paintball? Or even Odyssey Legend of Nemesis?

Found this little gem of a site recently. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in a while (last blog post is from Sep 2025)

I feel like they were going for edutainment vibes with this. Can hardly tell it's for a Dreamcast!

Or do we need another decade before we can call IPod games retro?

I know this is more emulation based, but still "retro" as it's ps1/ps2 related...maybe yall crazy modders have done this!

Hey ya'll,

I've had this idea for a while, wanting to play all my PS2 games with my friend who never really got a chance to experience PS2. It'd be so great if it would just work on steam remote play, but that is broken as of now (the "remoteplay whatever" on github is the only thing I found, it is broken as of today). The only other option i've seen is Parsec, and you can't host from the Linux side!! Which I need it to. I'm on linux, he's on windows.

In my mind it's not hard.. I need his pc's input, and then stream my video audio to him...the same way steam remote play does it.

Any help appreciated! Even if this could work for Duckstation for ps1 games, that'd still be fun.

This may seem like a dumb idea considering how bad composite is, but I have a couple CRTs that I'd love to use as computer monitors, and I'm not in the position to mod them for component or RGB. I want them to "just work" for the time being. I'm looking for a device that converts modern HDMI to analog, but the only good options seem to be really high end devices with support for every format under the sun, which are great, but way more then I need. Otherwise, what am I left with? Cheap, no-name boxes that'll die in two weeks and add half a second of lag? I'm not sure if the product I need exists, but I figured this would be a good place to ask since I can't find a dedicated CRT community. Any help is appreciated!

Maybe it's because it was the first one I played, but something about the 2d aspect of this game gripped me. I don't have the same love for the games that came after it, the 3d graphics somehow take me out of the historical element.

The fact that in the older games you are basically playing on a map, gives off this almost board-game feeling that is cosy and immersive. (I know that civ was inspired by a board game)

Playing civ3 as a kid really made me feel like I was in whatever era I was playing at. Still remember those jazz fusion tracks especially.

#SignalGroup for preserving the #Myrient #ROM database using #BitTorrent

Myrient is a huge collection of retro games and a very nice project. But as they are based on centralized cloud storage, the immense costs were not sustainable. By building a community of people who seed the files for free, the project can stay alive!

Alright, so my friend knows I'm into console "modding" and such, and asked me if he could get Battletoads on his NES Classic Mini.

I said, it's decently involved, it will wipe everything, has the potential to brick it, and maybe not worth it for 1 game. He's not the type to really care about authenticity (and it's emulation anyway), so I suggested just to play it on the myriad of websites where you can emulate right out of a browser. I get that it's not the best solution as they probably don't have anything hooked to their TV that can do that (they're apple-only users as well. That's the other reason I didn't think modding their console would be a good idea for them).

Am I thinking right or should I just flash it for him and see how it goes?

In 1996 Capcom released Street Fighter Alpha (Zero in Japan) 2 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The entire game was compressed down from the Capcom CPS2 arcade original to a 32 Megabit SNES Cartridge, with all characters in place. In this episode we take a look at how this was accomplished and why the port could have been even better

For anyone unaware, I asked for help here for a reinforced type joystick for my 3ds. I am like two standard deviations to the right of the bell curve with the strength to match. I figured I get a little too into tough bosses after noticing myself randomly crouching during some sekiro bosses in my deck recently. I'm working on that.

But I got a ten pack of factoryish replacements for like $2 that came in yesterday. They were stupid easy to install after removing the crumbling existing rubber!

I thought about glueing them in, but they seem to be pretty snug right now. Also I got 8 more if one falls off.

I'm not dealing with joycon drift yet, so they will do until I do start experiencing that in which case it will get some hall effect sticks.

And to that one person who told me to clean my shit; IS THIS CLEAN ENOUGH FOR YOU‽(I hope the joking timbre is coming across)

Thanks for the help and ideas everyone!
