Ah ok, i see how Take2 was able to take it down. Who ever did this Game, just should have used own Assets and Sprites, that are not so clear cloned from Vice City
It hasn't to do with anti China, the Range of Product Quality in China is insane, normally we don't see the lowest one in Europe or the US. Through easier Export nowadays, the low Quality Stuff also comes over and it is dangerous. AC Adapters and Batteries are not seldom Trash, even if the Product is good. Just be careful about those.
But i wouldn't expect that a Brand as Ayaneo will have such a Difference, if any. (Some have different Production Lines for western Standards)
Had such Experience myself with an Amplifier, the Device itself is very nice and working for five Years now. The AC Adapor was causing Noises in the Music and was sparkling when plugged out.
You can look up some Famiclone Reviews for fun, sooner or later you'll see similiar with the AC Adapters shipped with them
To also praise more, some of the higher Quality Stuff from Ali Express is abnormally good. Got some Reproduction Super Nintendo Games with english Patches. They have a way better Quality as some official Rereleases i bought (looking at Wild Guns), you can even change the Battery easily, no Soldering needed, wish Nintendo would have done that.
Also nice that you can get official spare Parts from 8Bitdo over Aliexpress
@X68000 The Megadrive may be easier to be accsessed, but also is the Dreamcast and has much Homebrew because of it, but nothing of it is graphically stunning. But in the End a Console can be better or worse for something, it depends on the Programmer on what he can handle better and feels more comfortable with to squeeze out the best of the Device.
Have two SN30 Pro, great Controllers. But i am now using more the bigger Brother, as it has the programable Buttons on the Back and i use them for L3/R3... hate to press the Sticks :>
I started playing the N64 Version last Year, guess must end it before i try the PC Version afterwards Got the full Pakage on Gog, played RE1 for the first Time and i think i like it the most.
A Sega Game developed for the PSX is a fun Curiosity as seing the Sony Logo on a Super Nintendo Game (Vortex was published by Sony in PAL Territories, also Super Bomberman)
The two Duke Nukem Collections are very great, Time to Kill was much better than expected, a real fun Game.
The Renovation Collection is also really good.
The Home Computer one was a good round up to have something of everything.
@KitsuneNight
There are also many Games on the System you would overlook back then.
I got the VS this May because i had too many Options and wanted to limit myself somehow. Was a good Decision, as i am playing more instead of browsing Lists
Alternative Title: Person solely responsible for the Litter in two Metropoles hindered by a a Group of Coworkers to do the same Polution to a whole State.
I think the only Thing i would wish from them to take as an Option is a 16:9 Hack for the PSX Games. Many Games work very well with it on the Mister, including Tomb Raider (at least 4 that i did try out on it). The Lack of the Graphics of the Remaster is nothing bad, those are the PSX Version, personally i skip it because i replayed those Games last Year before the Announcement of the Remaster and this Year again with the Remaster... Too much Tomb Raider for me haha. Sad that the Expansions never came to the Consoles, TR3 is not really good, but the lost Artefact is magnificant!
Thats cool, i have Virtual Fighter and Last Bronx and they are not really good running on my PC. Maybe those next ?
Strange that especially japanese Windows Software is very incompatible to modern Windows Versions. Resident Evil, Dino Crisis and Street Fighter Alpha are other Examples, that wouldn't run without Fan Patches (well, until Gog came for RE )
You can use an older thin Client with X86 CPU, i have the same as in this Article, did cost me 28€, about 10€ for the VGA/HDMi Adaptor and about 20 a CF Card + Adaptor to have a bigger Harddrive.
@angel68 No, the Story isn't that simple, but the biggest Hit to get the Rock rollin down Hill was a Person with seemingly much Hate towards RHDN, he was Part of the RHDO Team but got kicked out because of that, as the Team just wanted an more modern Alternative and less Restrictions. The Rest is a Mix of Misunderstandings, different Perspectives and bad Reactions.
Got one of those from another Brand, but i think without Hall Effect. Glad too see them for reasonabld Prices, it is also very easy to change them out.
Guessing from the Response of Spike from Cdromance and seeing all those Screenshots from Brette on Reddit, i wish Brette all Bad that can happen to a Person.
I am not a fan of women that show too much, (spoiling too much is boring and cheap), but i am a enemy of censoring of such stuff. Can't we handle female body parts? Whats next, destroying roman and greek Statues?
Hmm not a fan of these Games. i have Gods on the Super Nintendo and it has this typical 80/90 Action Games Design to it, throwing Enemies at you and having a mediocre Level Design.
I don't think this is true, i started playing since the C64 and Nintendo Games are very very polished compared to the Competition.
But if it were so, we wouldn't adore Tony Hawk, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and other Games, that made something very special in a Genre.
I personally also like Croc more than Banjo, but not because it is more polished, but because you don't have to collect as much.
Also, Nintendo Games often stand the Test of Time, the Gameplay often is even the Gold Standard (Super Mario World). I can't say that about many C64 Games, many of them i found unfair and bad even back then as a young Kid.
Guess it could be faster and more convenient to swap out SD-Cards. You can have different Builds on different SD Cards and test them out rapidly. You don't even have to take out the Module from the Console.

Re: This Is Why You Should Never Store Your Retro Game Collection In A Shed
Well, a Shed has nearly no Isolation, so Heat and Cold, Humity and Dryness will work on everything that is in there.
Re: This Tiny Piece Of Plastic Could Save Your N64's Analogue Stick

I would say buying a third party stick amd exchanging an old one is the better solution nowadays
You can put some Silicon into the Stick to lower the Grind (and while smearing throw out the Dust)

The first one is definitely a dark Zelda, not so polished in parts but with a great atmosphere.
Haven't played the 3Ds yet.
If someonen is interested, the Games are also on Gog.
Re: This Adorable New Super Mario Fan Game Looks Absolutely Incredible
@AJB83
But i have to agree, it has very much this modern western pixel art style :>
Not liking it too much.
But that is just personal taste
edit:
A good comparison is, when westerners try to make Manga/Anime, it can be very good, but you can clearly see that there is something off.
Re: Evercade EXP-R Release Hit By Another Delay Following "Significant Issue"
@Gs69
Ahh sorry for having confused you, ment to say that there is a possibility that you can also find the Handheld for a cheaper Price
From what I have read, the old one has the HDMI out, but the new one doesn't get as "hot".
So i guess the Chipset is more energy efficient.
The Bartop is compatible, check it out on Dragonbox, they had it as an offer last i visited the page.
Re: Evercade EXP-R Release Hit By Another Delay Following "Significant Issue"

Can't you cancel it and get the older model?
Got the VS for 80€, maybe you can be lucky too.
