    Xbox console sales plummet as overall revenue skyrockets

    Between the laggy ad-filled interface and the proprietary and expensive storage, I'd only get games for the Xbone as a last resort. Thankfully since it doesn't have any exclusives, I don't really need to. About the only thing the modern Xbox consoles are good for is playing upscaled original...

    A way to make N64 romhacks less cumbersome?

    I think I found some romhacks for the PC version, but I haven't had a chance to test: https://mods.sm64coopdx.com/mods/categories/rom-hacks.9/

    A way to make N64 romhacks less cumbersome?

    In normal Mario64, the camera was designed around the levels. So it masks how badly the camera controls, and a normal player wouldn't notice since they are playing the levels as intended. However the camera is a big problem for romhacks because the camera does what it was designed to do for...

    Is my nephew possibly autistic?

    My girlfriend works with kids at an autism center, and that sounds exactly like the meltdowns that the kids that she works with have. If there is an autism center near where your nephew lives, he should get checked out. If he has health insurance, it might cover it. The autism center can...

    What do yall think about the ages of senators and Congress people?

    I think the whole age debate is a distraction from the really important considerations: 1. Is this politician actually trying to improve the country, the society they represent, and/or the world at large? Or they in it for personal gain? 2. Is this politician mentally competent enough to make...

    Has RetroArch made individual emulators kind of obsolete?

    For me, rewind and shaders are the killer features in RetroArch and the fact that I can apply them to pretty much any 32-bit or earlier game is pretty great. With rewind not available for PS2 and later generations and also less need for shaders, I'll usually use standalones for those while...

    Best Super Mario Bros 1 and Super Mario World romhacks?

    I usually go onto smwcentral and look for hacks that are normal/hard difficulty and have more than 20 exits. I also like custom music so I'll look for that tag. Then I'll look at the ratings and comments. I'll download like 5-10 at a time and then if I don't like the one I'm playing I will...

    Zippo says Sonic heroes remake might happed

    I think Sonic 2006 was meant to be Sonic Adventure 3. It had exploration hub stages with mini-games, and 3 character paths. I think they did a last minute name change to not tarnish the legacy of the series after seeing how buggy and broken it was though.

    Opinions on New Super Mario Bros. Series.

    The thing is that the issues you mention are actually some of my favorite things about SMW. You don't just get the cape and immediately be able to cheese levels. You have to fly correctly, which takes so much skill that I still haven't gotten the hang of it 100%. The cape took a ton of effort...

    Opinions on New Super Mario Bros. Series.

    Overall, the New Super Mario series was a huge step down from the SNES's Super Mario World (SMW). Instead of giving us more of what made that game great, they carved up those things and fed some of them back to us over the next 20 years in pieces. Some of the best elements like the cape and...

    Vsync

    Back in the day, when I had underpowered hardware and none of this VRR stuff existed, turning on vsync would kill your frame rate. I'm talking 60fps dropping to an unstable 20fps. It would also cap the fps at 60, which is generally fine since that's what the monitor/TV displayed, but if you...

    DraStic DS Emulator on Android is now free to download, will be taken down soon

    I bought Drastic when I got the Samsung Z Fold4. It was basically the only reason why I liked that phone since it turned it into a DS with a foldable screen and the same form factor. The ability to resize the screens and on-screen controls in Drastic was unparalleled. The Switch 2 got delayed...

    Capcom Town survey asks fans about returning franchises, remakes and new entries

    I wrote them about the DRM/mod thing in the freetext comment at the end and voted "depends on you" about whether I would support them. Assuming that they listen, this survey is a really cool thing they are doing. I also discovered they let you play some of their SNES and NES games in a...

    Do you use SMS to message your friends or family?

    SMS works fine for sending pictures and texts. If I need to send a video, uncompressed photo, or file, URLs send fine over SMS too. Everyone who has a phone number has SMS, so I don't have to sell my soul to the Zuck or walk my parents through a setup. Way back when carriers charged for...
