I missed out on #LiveALive back in the #SNES days since it didn't make it to the USA. I started playing it on my #anbernic the other day and I was surprised to find it very #chronotrigger like!
I just learned they made a #remastered version last year! It seems pretty different, but since I didn't play it much on #superNintendo it doesn't matter to me. I like the voice acting, the additional animations, and lighting effects!
I haven't seen a Game Dad post in a while... I've been doing a routine where I play a game/games for maybe 15 to 20 minutes before I go to sleep, which matches up well with my partner who plays iPad games before bed. I've found it to be a relaxing wind down before sleep, and much better than doom scrolling.
Been sitting here since the 7th obsessively refreshing the tracking for my #Anbernic#RG35XX. It landed in Illinois on the 7th. Then nothing since then, just says “delivered to our shipping partner, USPS awaiting receipt of item”
Then out of nowhere… bam, late today it arrived at a USPS facility in Minneapolis!
Been putting off buying the SD cards and HDMI cable until it moved out of Illinois, but I didn’t think it would jump to Minnesota without passing through Chicago first.
Just did a search on whether anyone’s gotten Apple II disk images to run on an #Anbernic#RG35XX and found only my own lonely Reddit thread. Anyone? Anyone?
I never had time or headspace to tinker with my #anbernic but it came with some preloaded games. I played a few, just to get the feel of it. I didn't own many consoles when I was young, so many old games are new to me. I found Fire Emblem 4 there and started playing it. It works fine, better than my Awakening clunky Samsung S22 edition lol. Ah, and rumors say #fireemblem4 will be remastered. I'll definitely get that. I'm sure they will do something with Awakening too.
@helligbird Oh, gotcha. Mine came with just one SD card. I ended up making two separate folders for some systems, one with my favorites and one with hundreds of games I will probably never play but can always explore if I want to…
Who else is rocking an #Anbernic#RG35XX handheld console? I've got GarlicOS on mine and I love having access to so many different platforms on tap. And then I thought I can stream it more...
New core for TIC-80 (tic80): HUGE performance improvement, here are benchmark results:
Bunnymark (bunnies number till stutters): 40 bunnies in old core, 340 bunnies in new core
Crapmark (overall score): 3170 in old core, 10015 in new core
thinkin' about picking up one of those little #emulator handhelds for my birthday. anyone have strong opinions on the #miyoo mini vs. one of the #anbernic consoles? looking to spend around $100.
@espercontrol I like the #Anbernic#RG35XX but I'm very much a fan of Game Boy style stuff, not so much later consoles or systems. GarlicOS on the RG35XX is really nice!
While I do really like TIC-80 I’ve found that most of the games just run too slow on the Anbernic RG35XX. One that does work is Robavoid, which doesn’t rely on things moving quickly. There is one game I tested that showed the FPS and it looks like it’s just too slow for most games with fast movement or jumping. (Almost every PICO-8 game plays fast enough though.)
I still love the Anbernic RG35XX with GarlicOS but wow I find myself having to write a bunch of scripts to run on the device to fix things that go wrong...
Luckily I'm getting better at writing them, so that's a nice bonus. (Shell scripts were never my strong point.)
