Emma Liv 🇨🇦Trimmed down my #retrogaming library today. I'm a player, not a collector, so there's no purpose in having lots of ROMs that I don't really care about; it's just distracting more than anything. I also cleaned up a lot of my #RetroArch settings and configs.
/dev/urandomokay, i'm looking at it now, and the #retroarch controversies tended to be associated with someone named "twinaphex", who doesn't seem to actively work on it anymore? maybe they changed nicknames, iunno, but looking at people who work on retroarch now, i can't find them
i'll be honest, the idea of "fuck it, let's use #retroarch" is becoming very attractive, even though i also know that its main dev is an asshole
the idea of having an emulator that just picks up gamepads instead of having me set them up manually (like with #mednafen or #ares) is very appealing
Thomas Wong MatthewsSaturday morning project: A from scratch fresh install of 1993's MS-DOS CD-ROM version of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, playable with DOSBox-core in the RetroArch emulator. Applied the official patch GKCDPAT.ZIP and the GK1CD_NRS.ZIP bugfix released by NewRisingSun. Sure, one could install this from GOG or Steam, but seriously, where's the fun in that? This is one of the best Sierra On-Line games ever made, full stop.

@zavaj, grazie per il boost.
Alla fine ho risolto resettando le impostazioni di #RetroArch e riconfigurando i #Joypad

In converting my arcade machine from Windows to CachyOS to NixOS, I discovered that #NixOS does not have some of my needed libretro cores, so time to start trying to contribute. Submitted a pull request for the pokemini core as a start. Got plans for a few more missing cores I need soon after.
Maybe some more emulators coming a little bit later once I get a few commits to nixpkgs under my belt.
People make #emulation wayyy too complicated with things like Emulation Station or RetroPie.
Seriously, just install #LinuxMint (any x86-64 machine less than a decade old should do just fine), and when that's done, install #retroarch .Now you have a great program for emulating, on an otherwise general use OS that behaves in predictable and easy-to-use ways. Want to add more ROMS? Open Firefox and search. Put them in a folder. Done.
RetroPeteFinally got #retroarch setup so time for some Macross Plus! Love shmups even if I suck at them.
RetroComputingMXHoy, esta pieza representa un eslabón perdido en la evolución de las tarjetas gráficas y la convergencia entre ordenadores y consolas de videojuegos.
Solo puedo pensar que es el equivalente a desenterrar fósiles.
A veces solo hace falta que pasen décadas para que la gente aprecie un buen desastre. Un brindis por los que no se rinden ante el óxido.
Reviven una tarjeta 3DO Blaster de los 90s
En "The Retro Collective" lograron restaurar una rara tarjeta 3DO Blaster, un componente que permitía a los PCs de la época ejecutar juegos de la consola 3DO.
El proceso requirió el reemplazo de condensadores críticos y una limpieza profunda de los circuitos integrados de una placa que fue un fracaso comercial en su día.
