Inspired by @janbeta and his use of #Turrican as a dependable game to test out his Amigas...
What is your go-to test game?
You've set up a new emulator or piece of retro hardware and you need to test out the frame rates or the input lag or just that it works... what is the first game you load?
For me, it's always Alien Crush on the #PCEngine. No idea why... I guess I just know how it should look and feel. Plus, it's an awesome game!
#Nintendo won. The #emulation community is in shambles, and developers left and right are pulling down their apps. Can the EU please stop fighting Apple for a second and pass a law legalising emulation please?
:blobcatcoffee: Virtual Boy Emulation Finally Arrives on 3DS | RetroRGB
➥ RetroRGB
「 With the release of Red Viper, a fully stereoscopic Virtual Boy emulator for the Nintendo 3DS, the community has once again proven that Fans Do What Nintendont. The creation of GitHub user skyfloogle, Red Viper finally brings the Virtual Boy’s tiny library to the system where it always belonged, perfectly preserved in all its red and black glory 」
What's the cheapest little home #videoGame console you can buy off aliexpress that would connect to #retroAchievements? I'd like to buy a few and set them up for my friends and family as presents. Install a frontend like #batocera, load it up with roms. Probably a #raspberrypi but maybe there's some other #SBC that'd do the job?
With the speedy settlement of #Nintendo vs #Tropic_Haze, it does seem like the project was basically asking for it by flaunting the piracy of games not even released.
Sad for members of #emulation community that abide by better ethics than the ones for #Yuzu.
Also reminds me of #LSPosed shutting down because it didn't play nice with modded games and devs got harassed by the players, shame it wasn't the cheats that got shut down instead 😡
I’m frustrated by the Yuzu/Nintendo settlement; it sets a dangerous precedent:
>Developing or distributing software…that…functions only when cryptographic keys are integrated without authorization, violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act…because the software is primarily designed for the purpose of circumventing technological measures.
Isn’t that how every emulator works? What does this mean for game preservation?
My partner got me this cutie and it arrived this morning like very first delivery of the day :owi: :BlobhajHeart: I love it already, it runs the games I like perfectly :blobmiou: I know it's not the most expensive and bestest machine out there but I have no complaints about it :blobcat: :BlobhajTinyHeart:
Yuzu: a free as in freedom Nintendo Switch emulator in trouble :cwy:
Nintendo is now basically telling its customers that they DO NOT OWN THE HARDWARE THEY SELL THEM.
◉Nintendo apparently above the law with such statement?
◉How 'bout gettin' a Steam Deck from Valve instead leaving that medieval type of a company Nintendo behind ..
I like your consoles and games and have since I was 8 years old and got my NES. However, in light of recent developments I must insist that you immediately go fuck yourselves.
Yuzu is gone. (yuzu-emu.org)
They settled for $2.4M and shut everything down....
