Moved the hacked PS1 mini (it has like 80+ games on it now thanks to Autobleem, the most important of them being Diablo) to the living room to start up a new Diablo run. I beat it two years ago in September and I started my run(s) in August 2021. Something about August and fall, I guess. Last time, I tried a sorcerer but struggled til I switched to fighter, which I beat it with. This time, I'm trying a rogue. Never tried rogue before. Should be wild. Time for tons of saving and leaving all my gear on the ground in town! 🤣
Anyone here have any experience with #GrapheneOS? I'm in need of a new phone, and I'm kinda considering getting a #Pixel7 or #Pixel7a and flashing Graphene, but I have some questions.
Can you game on it? lol I mostly play #emulators, not many #Android games (though I do get down on some of the #NetflixGames). I know the Pixel's chipset should be able to handle up through some PS2 and Gamecube, which is def enough for me, but if it can handle some Yuzu and/or Vita3K, that would be rad. Just curious if that all works within Graphene's sandboxing and if there are any performance issues.
How does the sandboxed Play Services work? Do you install it, then have to give specific apps permission to access Play Services? How much can you lock down Google apps, like Google Camera, Google Maps, etc., if I choose to use those over the stock/FOSS options? I'll probably go #FOSS like I usually do, but it never hurts to have options.
I've messed with custom roms a fair bit, but not a specifically privacy/security-oriented one like Graphene. Is there anything that someone coming from a relatively vanilla AOSP experience would find jarring or unexpected?
I use #Spotify via #xmanager currently. Does anyone on Graphene currently use this? Does it work as expected?
I know GrapheneOS + the #Pixel is kind of the pinnacle of security in mobile devices rn. What have you personally noticed about the #privacy and #security of your own digital experience since switching?
Any thoughts and opinions are welcome! Thanks, friends. 😃
I finally just installed the #emulators from RA itself. The #NES and #SNES ones work fine, but I had to map buttons on my #XBox#controller and they don't support filters.
Cheap coffee table to not so cheap to build but quite awesome arcade cocktail table. Took ages to finish. Running an old I7 alienware x51 with a 1080TI. PC route so i can run ps2 emulation, modern stuff. Font on the panel for the power button and usb cluster is taken from attack of the mutant camels and the game running is sheep in space. One of my first games from back in the day and one of my all time c64 favourites. Both by @llamasoft_ox
A few more notes about video games and VoiceOver Recognition: the story mode of Blazblue reads very well with screen recognition, even better than Windows OCR! In some games, when menus have descriptions, you can tell which menu item you're on by the description of the item at the bottom. With the Provinence app, audio latency is amazingly low with my AirPods Pro 2. So, playing games using those is really, really amazing! No game mode needed! I can't wait for more blind people to get into this! #accessibility#blind#gaming#Provinence#iOS#RetroGames#emulation#emulators
Wesley Fenlon (@wes) is the creator of Read Only Memo, a Substack devoted to video-game emulation. Here, he's interviewing programmer Rich Whitehouse about how he's creating 32-player multi-player support for the Atari Jaguar's Alien Vs. Predator — a single-player game — using his BigPEmu emulator.
#VideoGames#Emulators#RetroGaming#Apple: "If you’re wondering why Apple has decided to involve itself in this potential legal nightmare scenario, after years of banning emulators from its App Store: it’s because it is currently fighting a bunch of anti-monopoly lawsuits and has been ordered to allow third-party app stores on the iPhone. Apple does not want anybody downloading these third-party app stores. So rather than risk people turning to them to download emulators, Apple has decided to allow retro game emulators on its own store instead, while placing responsibility on the app developers to ensure everything contained within complies with the law."
Congratulations @altstore! Becoming the first official 3rd party app store for iOS is a mighty achivement and doing it open source from the begining is incredible.
We got an exclusive early look at RetroDECK's next update on the #SteamDeck, and it adds #emulators, and an implementation of GZDoom that includes a custom parser to make building modpacks easier.
Psst! You can go here for "official" Super #Mario Bros DX images and logos for making box art to use in various #emulators and launchers. Anniversary Edition and #Aesthetic Edition variants are included!
