Gaming

I'm an admin for RetroAchievements, so I interact with emulation quite a bit even outside my "me" time. Very few limits on what I'll play for a while, but it all happens on the steam deck these days. I shared my ROM drive with my deck over the network, so I don't have to burn extra drive space for it.

The Steam Deck has taken over gaming for me lately. Really loving playing modded BoTW and starting Disco Elysium via the Switch YUZU emulator.

But you'll see my V2 Miyoo Mini (with a Metal Gear Solid theme! and a jailbroken Switch).

...also just started playing Wasteland 3 on the Steam Deck. Enjoying how it has the older Fallout feeling.

Oooh boy, everything I own that is moddable gets modded at the earliest (financial, mostly 😝) convenience. Currently I'm the proud owner of a modded Switch, 3DS, GBA, GBA SP, PS3, PS4 and of course, my darling PS Vita! I almost can't help myself with these things... All that stuff and, yet, all I seem to have time for is the excellent Metroid Prime Remaster... One day, backlog...One day...

ME ME ME ME! I created /r/flashcarts over on Reddit, and I've been wondering if there might be an appetite for a similar community here.

The smaller scale might mean it is more pragmatic to have a community dedicated to all of the above rather than just flash cartridges.

The steam deck has been a game changer for me in this regard. I used to try emulation but often didn't have a gamepad with the relevant PC for too long. Now I have one I can designate for emulation and it has a gamepad built in.

Been using my PS Vita as my portable emulation machine for a while now. Super easy to mod with the added bonus of being able to play Vita games.

Ayn Odin! Love this little thing, currently playing through Pokemon Radical Red romhack (it's hard as hell but I'm getting through it). This little device is honestly a beast.

I have a similar setup, Switch with CFW, RG350p for more portable retro games like GBA etc, and then the SteamDeck has just been an emulation beast. Absolutely love that thing

I use retroach on both my PC and my android. With my android (LG v60) I use a Gamesir Bluetooth controller.

Currently trying to master SimCity on the SNES (have two achievements left). I've also been doing as many Gen 1 Professor Oak Challenges as I can. However, my main systems are NES and GBA.

I used to have a PSP but now I just use an old Android + retroarch with a Razer kishi

Please play Pokemon Unbound. Its a Pokemon Rom Hack and just the best Pokemon game i have ever played

I used to be a huge fan of Neo Geo and old arcade stuff, so I setup a MAME pc in an old arcade cabinet, using the old crt monitor, and hooked it up with some simple self made joystick panel. It suits my emulation needs 😃

I’ve had a Steam Deck for a while and recently got an Anbernic RG405m (running GammaOS) which I’m very pleased with

I've been playing a lot on this Miyoo Mini Plus recently. Tiny, but surprisingly easy to play, and great for picking up for quick gaming sessions. With OnionOS, and its Game Switcher, you can be in and gaming in seconds.

So far, I've played through GBA Circle of the Moon and Aria of Sorrow on it. Great games!

Been using my CFW switch to play FF4, got the pixel remaster and I'm going to be playing Chrono Trigger soon on it

I'm mostly into SNES and GBA emulation. Downloaded full packs of ROMs for each.

Currently playing Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. I avoided this game for a long time due to the bad rep ("it's too easy"), but I've been having fun with it. (Blazing Sword is still better though.)

I have a modded 3DS with a lot of games loaded onto it, but I haven't used it in quite a while. I'm mainly a PC player, so I use retroarch for older systems (up to n64) and standalone emulators for newer systems. The next game on my list is to try Red Dead Redemption again. RPCS3 has gotten better since the last time I tried it, so hopefully my laptop can handle it!

I have 2 retro handhelds, the Ambernic RG351V (in the faux-woodgrain, obviously), and a Miyoo Mini+. Most of the time I prefer the Miyoo Mini, because it's smaller and more portable. However, I think the aftermarket OS options for the 351V are more mature.

Currently I've been working my way through Earthbound. I've never played it before and I can see why people like it so much. It has such character!

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
