retrogaming

Stumbled upon an old video clip (from 1983) showing a coin operated game called “Herpes”, no joke....

Users of the latest batch of Analogue’s Mega SG are reporting they are unable to jailbreak it using SmokeMonster’s custom firmware, despite using different capacities and brands of full size SD card.(myself included)...

The best rendition? Probably.

Particularly the AES, but if you had other experiences, share them below!

Here is where I am at. Live in an apartment so space is tight and needed everything to be able to move into the closet. I’ve got SNES, N64, Wii mini, Sega Genesis, PS2, a vcr, receiver and stereo speakers, Extron switcher, and playing them all on a Sony PVM14L5. The rack is from Amazon and most are hooked up via RGB.

I’ve been revisiting some classic Playstation 1 games, and many of them hold up....

It feels like simulations and simulacra; The song was written in nostalgia for a long gone game console, and today I’m listening with nostalgia to a song that’s almost as old now as the game console was then.

I recently got an Xbox Series X, and naturally I wanted to go back and enjoy some of the 360 titles that I played as a teen. For once, I feel like I did not miss the boat on buying these games at a decent price. Everybody talks about how cheap SNES and N64 carts used to be, but I wasn’t into retro gaming then, so all I’ve...

From PCMIDI.EU comes the Orpheus 2 – a new 16-bit ISA sound card! Could this be the best one for vintage computers right now? An argument can be made for that I think. On-board Gravis Ultrasound PnP compatibility, plus all the Orpheus 1 features like Sound Blaster Pro compatibility, Yamaha OPL3, and an intelligent mode...

Who here loves to solder? I’ve already done 2 mods for friends and a few custom paint jobs.

I am looking for a console repair community. I didn’t see one when I searched “all” communities on lemmy.world. But I’m new here and didn’t want to reduplicate a community that already exists perhaps under a different name?

Per /u/Harcroft from /r/OriginalXbox:...

some intriguing stuff there

My title of choice would probably be Daggerfall because it’s just so ambitious and truly offers an experience none of the other elder scrolls games offer. That being said it is kinda an example of a sequel eclipsing it’s predecessors as well given it is more or less a straight improvement over Arena in every way.

Lots of interesting stuff in the article. The part about retro gaming is near the end.

Does anyone here do their gaming on an SBC or hardware emulation machine? I’m considering trying to start an instance for these machines and am curious if there’s much desire

I’m really glad to find that there’s a decent sized community for this special interest group on the Fediverse! Bravo, glad to be here and counted among these numbers....

For years I’ve been using HowLongToBeat which has good tools for tracking playtime, collections, backlog et.c.. However the site is pretty laggy on my phone, so I’m exploring other options. What is you guys’ approach?
