Though it’s technically inferior, I love the art style of the spectrum port. The character sprites are almost inked on like a Tiger Handheld. The backgrounds are too distracting in a couple of levels, but it does look nice in its own way.
It’s certainly a distinct look, and I say that as a Speccy person from way back.
It’s weird, it’s so often the case that the Spectrum version is the weakest graphically, but because of a few factors (faster CPU, slightly higher resolution) it had the most faithful feeling ports.

PS: very thematically fitting that this should come right after a Bad Luck Brian meme in my feed 😂
I got the grey running Amberelec and it’s very nice but I did upgrade to a retroid pocket 3+ but kinda separated the two with the RG being a 8/16 bit powerhouse and the RP3 being a PSP/NDS focus with some widescreen hacks (bsnes hd) on the side.
The RG351v would be used more if it had 5Ghz wifi, and my router can’t do both. Retroachievements are too nice.
I don’t use them solely for retro games. The 8bitdo SN30 pro just is a pretty solid controller for the nintendo switch and a good controller on the go with the phone clip.
Agreed, the SN/SFC30 pro are pretty decent to be used for general use. but in my case I don’t know what happened and all of a sudden I also now have a 8Bitdo Pro, Ultimate and Pro 2. Talk about unplanned collection, lmao
I managed to not buy all of those controllers even though it was very tempting but I also have an 8bitdo wireless adapter so that I can use my favorite controllers like the dualsense on the switch
I thought wreckages lie much deeper. Nice photo. For those find WWII remains underwater interesting, I’d recommebd this research article (open access). It does digital reconatruction of sunken USS Emmons. www.tandfonline.com/doi/…/10572414.2021.2018870
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !reisen)
I disabled my DNS block-list for 5 minutes to test something, and my Samsung TV used its newfound freedom to immediately go and automatically install the TikTok app from its app store. It no longer gets the privilege of an internet connection.
My Samsung TV has never pulled this shit. It used to have free Internet access, now it’s behind a DNS blocker because it wants to do phone home a LOT, but even when I unblocked it to download an app I wanted, it didn’t do shit that it shouldn’t have.
It’s still likely the last Samsung TV I’ll ever own - I don’t like the app availability on Tizen much - but I just don’t see all this adware that everyone keeps talking about. Mine’s a 2019 model though, maybe it’s only newer ones?
@ComeHereOrIHookYou I have the first generation of 8bitdo controller of the old NES styled pad. Unfortunately a button does not work correctly anymore. What I use nowadays are 3 gamepads, one of them the SNES "inspired" Buffalo Classic USB Gamepad. I want to up the game soon with additional gamepads too. Especially the Genesis/Mega Drive styled one. Let's not forget the N64 pad with its unique button placement. For arcade games I play with an arcade stick. A trackball will follow too, for arcade games that are usually played with one. And maybe an Atari 2600 style old stick too. And I need Wii controllers too... oh well, its a chaos then.
But having so many controllers makes it complicated. Especially whenever I unplug and plugin a controller, it is then registered in different order. That's a nightmare! At least using RetroArch, this is a bit problematic.
I just took a look with the Buffalo Classic USB and certainly it is an interesting SNES inspired controller, to think it has a built in turbo button too.
Agreed having multiple controllers is a pain, especially I have to plug them in and out from time to time.
Mapping controllers on Retroarch is indeed a pain as well, especially trying to map N64 controls.
Last week I bought a N64 inspired controller from SAFFUN, tried mapping it on Retroarch. After a good 10 minutes, I gave up and went with Mupen64plus with Rosalie’s Mupen GUI
