If i talk to you in your Language it is always faster, as if i need a Dolmatcher that translates what i am saying, no matter how good the Dolmatcher is.
Well, a Statistic showed last Year that 37% of People played Games that are 8 Years and older.
Only 15% played Games of the current Year.
You only have to play Pokemon Red/Blue, Mario 64, Mario Bros or Tetris once (via Emulation) and the Answer to the Question above would be Yes.
In the End, playing old Games and even old System does not mean, that you don't play current Games.
I do both and i guess most do so
A Friend often put on a N64 with Mario Kart on Garden Parties.
Even People that don't play Video Games at all, would have played a nearly 30 Year old System with that
@Daniel36 Making it legally available would be great, something as the Collection of Mana.
Strangly, for being of the newer Super Nintendo Games, it is the only one yet with a dead Battery. Have to exchange it. But, i ripped the Rom anyways with the Retrode2.
For everyone that wants to save some Money, you can get a preset Free McBoot Memory Card and one of those SD Card Memory Cards together for around 12€.
With OPL you can use Virtual Memory Cards, so you have also "unlimited" Space.
@Tasuki
See what Kitsunenight said, you have to change the Setting blindly
I also recommend forcing 480p on interlaced Games via OPL
For me it started clearly to damage the Monitor, it causes burn in.
I have the old Version with separate NUM Pad. It has Magnets on the Side, so it "docks" on the Main Keyboard. It also has a Button to make it a Calculator, so you can use it completely separate, imo a cool Feature.
Trump seems to go into very strange and hurtful politics to get the Deal what he wants. As China is facing a economical Crisis, i guess they don't want to escalate this too much and in the End it will settle somewhere, as the US are also not interested in having a Shut Down with all the cheap Goods.
I have once read a very good Comment about Audiophiles: "If you spend more Money on your Peripherals than a professional Studio does, who records the Music that got spread globally, than you got probably scammed.".
@AJB83 Judging from the Video, the Antialiasing doesn't seem bad in the older Version.
But the newer ones seem bad. It looks like one of those "Reshade" Mods that just do too much. But this certainly can find People liking it.
I absolutely agree, the Home Port is much better. The Combat feels better, there are small Changes that just makes it more fair and gives it more impact. Soundfont of the Super Nintendo gives the Music also a very pumped up Feel. The extra Levels are good and also the new Bosses. Throwing Enemies into Shredder is one Kind of an Idea and Sewer Surfer is much more Fun by one hitting Enemies.
Imo they should just do curated Sections for underaged, maybe also with a Program in wich the Creators of Videos sign Contracts to ensure to make that specific Content under such Rules.
It would be in better Hands as it is with the current Rights Holder Would like to see a new Duke Nukem Game, maybe those who made Ion Maiden could do it. And even if Duke Nukem Forever has its bad Reputation, the Game is very enjoyable, has many diverse Levels and Ideas included.
i have two and both feel different, the older one was clearly very very very good. On the second one even the rumble broke. There seems to have been a not so good run of them.
Overall, i really like 8Bitdos Devices, they are mostly the best.
@845H Time will bring better CPUs and with it, the Emulator will have better Resources to run the Games. My Windows 98 PC back then was barely able to run Bleem and PSX Games, now it runs on every Potato
Hell, i can even run Doom 3 and Quake 4 on my mobile Phone ^^ Insane.
One of the best Websites out there, it is just such a Service. Sometimes it is really a Struggle to find the correct matching Rom to a Patch and even if i have a own big enough Library, those Patches are seldom for PAL Games (yep, i dumpred all my original Games). And to Patch a PS2 Game can become a Science some times.
I know what you mean, there are so many coming out. But i see it in that Way, everyone can have a Device that fits best. Just a Question of how much Power should it have and the Formfactor.
I have the 351v and i really like the 4:3 Screen. It plays nice up to PSX, N64 and Dreamcast are unplayable for my Taste.
That said, i don't need another one until it breaks, maybe PS2 Emulation will run fine at that Time.
Ah Source Ports are also a nice Thing on it, DevilutionX <3
To be fair, Sony would have gotten its hands on Nintendos IPs. Even if Nintendo has its biggest Competition with Sony, having lost the IPs would be a bigger Hit and maybe Nintendo as we know wouldn't exist any longer.
Imo the Competition is good, i liked them both (nowadays i dislike them both haha)
Would say they made here the right decision and had a limited release in certain regions, as the market for it is mostly of persons that worked and played with it plus some that have curiosity.
I grew up with the C64 and even i have only a very limited nostalgia for most games, they just were unfair mostly (my four year old self isn't lying XP).
The Super Nintendo saved my love for Video Games, guess we are here in the same Fan Club XP
Is not having a PSU really worth a down rate? Those little devices work with nearly every one that came around the last 10 years and often enough the USB Port of your TV or Monitor is enough.
I would put it neutral, as for some it is even somsthing positive, not having more USB Cables... And in the end they put one in, that does not summit Data, only Energy :X
