Excuse me while I lurk in your posts trying to figure out which retro game consoles you guys have hehe
@solsetur don't be afraid, just ask. 😊
@Haikyoneko ok so list what you have haha
@solsetur I actually just have a Switch 2, PS4 and a Xbox Series X. I play retro games on them.
@solsetur I think you’d be hard pushed to find a group more eager to talk about this subject
@solsetur FYI I have an unnecessary number of handhelds, from OG GB through all the nintendo and Sony, up to Steam Deck and Switch 2. I have a MiSTer FPGA stack for the classic consoles since easier than keeping old hw running well. Used to have a bunch of them my lack of space etc made switching to a MiSTer an easier life.
@alanb the MiSTer FPGA sounds interesting, i shall check it out
@solsetur It’s awesome. Check out the superstation too - it’s a nicely packaged MiSTer https://retroremake.co/pages/superstation%e1%b5%92%e2%81%bf%e1%b5%89

@alanb this is so cool
@solsetur Seriously. I got my mister kit from this same guy - he’s very active and open about the dev and manufacturing process.

@solsetur I have the following:

NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Dreamcast, PC Engine, Intellivision, Colecovision, N64, Atari VCS/2600, Gameboy DMG, GBA SP, Nintendo DS… I think that’s it.

@TomatoGrilledCheese @solsetur With me in Japan I have a Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Pocket, Analogue Mega Sg, Model 2 Sega CD, Analogue Pocket, PlayStation 2-4, Sony PSP, Sony Vita, Nintendo Wii, Switch 1 & 2, and a broken Sega Game Gear.
@solsetur What's your research for? Just curious?
@TomatoGrilledCheese I have been staring and watching the reviews of those retro handhelds lately. I got one on the way right now and should be delivering this week, but was still trying to see what other handsets have been posted on mastodon and if any comments were made about them
@solsetur Which one?
@TomatoGrilledCheese I ordered a TRIMUI BRICK so waiting for that to arrive, and staring at various Anbernics and miyoo and the Mangmi Air X. but trying to stop myself haha.
@solsetur I don't think I've heard of that one. Seems it does a lot of different stuff.
@TomatoGrilledCheese someone on famichiki has it and strongly recommended it, plus it seems to review very highly as well. The size should be perfect for musuko’s kid hands (which is really my justification for getting it haha. The pocket analogue is not something I feel comfortable leaving him to play with on his own)
@solsetur Right on. If you know how to torrent, look for "Smoke Monster ROM Collection." That's the best set of ROMs for most of the consoles you might want. They are all sorted etc, so you don't have to do much.
@TomatoGrilledCheese hehehe many many thanks!!
