I've been carrying my rg35xx everyday in my work bag. I've been slowly working my way through fire emblem.
I'm also working on making a game in gb studio with my partner! She's pretty excited as well as myself.
I've been playing on my Anbernic RG351P for a while now. I recently started playing Super Mario World on it for like the 100th time
I like to modify and repair retro consoles and handhelds, so I have a pretty large collection in various states of repair: GameBoys DMG/Pocket/Color, DS Lites, NESs, SNESs, GameCubes, N64s, a Dreamcast (what I currently have hooked up to my big workshop crt), PS1s, PS2s, a PS3 that I think is beyond repair, a few perfect condition Xbox 360s...I think that's it.
In emulation, aside from on my PCs, I have a couple of modded PSPs and a Vita, though I really only use the Vita since I got that.
Love my little miyoo mini, I've been playing a lot of pokemon emerald rogue, perfect for pickup and play type of gameplay for when I'm riding public transit or when it's a little slow at work.
Aww man, I could neverown a Miyoo mini since it's actually too small for my hands, but otherwise that thing is cool.
I play everything on an Anbernic 353p. Just finished Pokemon Trading Card Game 2 with a translation patch.
I often use my Funkey S when emulating. https://www.funkey-project.com/
I have a 2DS XL with custom firmware, since emulation isn't perfect yet, and the console is infinitely portable.
I also have a hacked Vita, but that doesn't get much use anymore since it was just a Persona 3 Portable and 4 Golden machine, and that's now on PC. It's still sometimes handy to play niche games that were never ported to other platforms.
I tried playing NES ROMs on my old Nintendo DSi XL but the emulator runs the games a little too fast. SNES roms run okay but the aspect ratio isn't quite right.
Surprisingly, my favourite emulator on this system is SCUMMVM. It's so much fun playing old point and click adventure games with the stylus.
My powkiddy v90 was a godsend those dead Sunday nights. I played mostly Tetris games, though I finished some RPGs on it. Not that strong, especially with a couple of SNES (Mario kart being one) running more than sluggish. I can't complain, it's a nice device for real cheap
OOO YES. I have a gameboy advance, a ds lite, a 3ds xl, a new 3ds, and a switch, but I primarily use my switch and my gameboy advance. Playing old pokemon games and gba romhacks on the native screen size is really nice.
Heck yea, I am a retro enthusiast. I currently have a PiBoy DMG running emulation staion and a customized version of Raspberry Pi OS w/ joycon and buttons mapped to a mouse emulation - its a nice form factor for having a portable Linux-box in the field... I still get looks when I whip out a 'gameboy' to do some actual work. :P
I stick to mostly 8bit and 16bit platforms, so the Pi 4 is more than enough for me...
I also have a few retro computer setups; of course, a C=128 for all my Commodore needs - an Apple g4 basketball w/ MacOS 9 - an antique Philco Predicta television that runs both some Python script for random vintage videos, and can serve up PONG - I retrofitted an old PONG controller w/ a Pi Pico so it feels right.
I have a couple other machines that bring me back to the 486 MS-DOS days. :P
Nice to know theres other folks that are into this hobby - cheers!
Yeah. I have a few emulators on my devices and a hacked wii u, and a ps3 with hfw.
Wii u gamepad broke but i had wii u, wii, gamecube, ps1, n64, and retroarch emulators.
My ps3 is somewhere but i got it loaded with games and even had fallout 3 with mods working on it
Havent been playing much on emualtors. But i keep trying different ones. I have retroarch, citra, and dolphin on my phone and i samus returns, wind waker randomizer, and fe: path of radiance.
But for the most part ive just been playing elden ring
I used to own a BC PS3, a PS5, a Wii U, a switch and a new 2ds xl to give me access to all PlayStation and Nintendo games (running CFW on all devices except the PS5). However, I have slowly shifted to owning just a powerful PC and my 2DS. The only games I don't get a perfect experience with are Wii U games because there is no great way to emulate the Wii U gamepad. And of course I can't play PS4 and PS5 exclusives anymore, but I am just banking on Sony eventually releasing all the interesting titles on PC.
Currently putting together a bartop arcade for emulation. Planning to use one of the Sffpc lenovo's I have laying around running batocera. Using secondary hookups that I can pull out and hook up my steam deck as well. Mostly playing galaga.
Still one of my favorite games by far. I was planning to buy a bartop kit but decided to travel back home and spend some time with my Dad. I think it'll be a good weekend project for us to work on together.
