retrogaming

If anyone’s interested I’ve created a new community for retro computing. Come and talk old computers!

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...

The humble cartridge is an icon in video game history. But where did it come from? Learn the story behind the first programmable home console - the Fairchild Channel F - and the team behind it. Why couldn’t Fairchild capitalize on this revolutionary idea and why did the Channel F console fade into obscurity?

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)...

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

The best rendition? Probably.

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.

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?

some intriguing stuff there

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....

This game gets a lot of hype in the Amiga and Atari ST community but it’s labeled as crap everywhere else. In my opinion the game looks great and could have been fun if it didn’t suffer from awful hit detection which just ruins it for me. Most of the time your bullets pass right though the enemies which leads to a lot of...

(still can't beat it though) :(
