Before the #Nintendo #Switch and #SteamDeck when you wanted to play your favourite game on the go, you had to buy the portable version separately as well. In this case it's worth it, excellent new puzzle game for #NES and #GameBoy from Broke Studio

Do you think there will ever be a "replica" tech market for old computers & displays? There's exciting progress around reproducing old game consoles & arcades with FPGA, but doesn't seem like old computers get the same love.

I'd like to acquire a large CRT monitor with a high refresh rate this year for example, but seems like it'll come down to luck if I find one that works for an extended period of time. I shouldn't have to learn electronics repair to enjoy retro technology.

@rootcompute do you know the mister fga 'emulates' most old home computers from the 8 and 16 bit era? Unless you're really talking about some obscure platforms, it probably already has a mister core, even 486 msdos pc!

This might be a dumb question, but I was told that all PS4 games need to be installed to the hard drive before you can play them.
I’m going through a bunch of games right now and that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Well, not the full disc at least. There seem to be some that just install a key of sorts to the drive. Something that’s not even a Megabyte big.

Can anyone explain this to me?
I forgot how it worked after so many years… 😳

@OutofPrintArchive awesome! The jpn cover art is in most cases better than what we got. In fact, most of the sega games in my collection are the jpn version, because the cover art (and manuals) are so much nicer.
