retrogaming

Hey y’all. First post on Lemmy!...

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

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?

I’ve only been to Super Potato so far. I remember that when I posted some pictures in the old retrogaming subreddit from my visit, quite a few people said that SP is overpriced and for tourists....

The oldest game I still really enjoy is probably The Secret of Monkey Island for DOS (1990). I like classic NES games too but I don't really play them anymore....

Just like the title says, have NES game prices peaked or is likely to continue going up for the foreseeable future.

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

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...

I’ve often wondered this. With the sheer volume of titles on modern consoles, is it even possible to have a complete collection of the library? Especially with something like the Switch, where there are also a shit ton of shovelware titles out there, not only digital but physical shovelware as well from Limited Run Games....

Is anyone interested in helping moderate this community? If so, send me a private message and we can have a discussion. I know if the community continues to grow I will need assistance.

Hi lummy community, i’m one of those who came from reddit. For now i’m still learning the new UI/lemmy philosophy. on reddit there was some sub that i was using a lot like SBCGaming, AYN odin, miyoomini, well you get the kind of stuff, principaly retro handeld stuff. Now that i want to use lummy i was wondering if there...

I love my Ayn Odin. There are great emulators on Android but also a ton of native games with controller support. With a Play Pass subscription ($30/year) and Netflix Games (which I’m paying for anyway), I have everything I need and the battery last 6h+....

And what category does the PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nintendo DS/3DS fit into? They aren’t retroz but they’re not really “modern” either

Hey everyone....

I am an avid retro gaming fan. I mostly play JRPG games like Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger but recently I’ve had very little time to enjoy big, complicated games. I am looking for recommendations for retro games that can be played over a longer peroid of time, but don’t require a big time investment (re-) learning the...

Im thinking of connecting an Xbox one controller using a phone controller mount. What are the best front ends/backends to use?

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)...

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

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?

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....

I created this post 9 years ago on the other site for a project that never came to fruition....
