    Sony to end support for the PlayStation Store on PS3, PSP, Vita

    yup. All of Sony's "innovation" seems to benefit them a lot more than us lately. All digital = no more cheap used games and them trying to sell you stuff you already bought... again.... and again... New custom fast SSD = being charged a fortune for small memory upgrades instead of using one of...

    Homebrew Question Current state of Switch Android emulation?

    TBH I was surprised to see a Switch emulator for Windows so soon after it's release. I guess it serves Nintendo right for being lazy on their hardware development. There's nothing wrong with making games for Android but pretending you made a console when you really released a new smart...

    Sony to end support for the PlayStation Store on PS3, PSP, Vita

    On the plus side, maybe they'll stop releasing new PS3 firmware updates that brick people's consoles whenever they do stuff Sony doesn't like. And maybe it will end game updates that they force you to install before playing. Those things take forever and when you're done, everything is exactly...

    Homebrew Question Current state of Switch Android emulation?

    Are there any loaders or custom firmware that allow you to play Switch games on a similarly powerful Android device? I have an Nvidia Shield sitting (unused) on my shelf. It's useless as a smart TV box. I'm wondering if it has any value as a diy Switch? I assume it's not possible to emulate a...

    Homebrew Question Improving speed / fps on Yuzu

    I just got that Yuzu Switch emulator running for my son on my old workstation laptop. He wanted to try Mario Odyssey. It kinda runs using the laptops Quadro K5000m and a 3.8ghz I7 but, oddly, it can't handle the cut scenes and suffers random frame rate drops. I say random because they don't...

    Comment by 'Goemonz' in 'Depression - What is it?'

    The thing I always hated was people trying to cheer me up and then when they take it personally that their effort didn't cure my depression. It makes me feel like I have to pretend to be OK when I'm not. That can be a lonely feeling. It's something those who don't suffer with it could never...

    Comment by 'Goemonz' in 'Depression - What is it?'

    I suffered with it since my teens. "finding help" is not nearly as easy as some seem to think. There is certainly no shortage of psychiatrists willing to take your money but most only "help" themselves. I've seen a bunch. Most diagnose by questionnaire and treat only with medication (that they...

    What can and cannot run Super Mario 64 ?

    Brazil is a special case. There are good reasons for porting games to old consoles there but they don't apply to the rest of the world. Specifically, Brazil has insane import taxes (circa 90%) which makes importing new consoles unfeasible for most. For this reason, long dead consoles like the...

    What can and cannot run Super Mario 64 ?

    Mario 64 doesn't require too much power by today's standards. It runs fine (emulated) on my Samsung tablet (with no discrete gpu) and would probably even work on the latest Android phones. Emulation requires way more processing juice than running games natively. I'm sure it could be ported well...

    GCN What is the best way to play Triforce games like Mario Kart arcade GP at home?

    That's interesting. I have a Wii console. I assume it needs to be modded to make it work. Does it run natively on the Gamecube hardware in the Wii or is the Triforce hardware emulated on your Wii U? Does it use the analog thumbstick and triggers on a Gamecube pad for steering and pedals (so it...

    Homebrew Libretto MAME 2003 and vertical games on 3DS

    I've never liked using Mame on my 3DS. My advice, if you want to use Mame when you're out, is to get those Switch-style joypad clip-ons for your phone or tablet. Like these...

    GCN What is the best way to play Triforce games like Mario Kart arcade GP at home?

    Has anyone here got Triforce games running on a retail Gamecube or on an emulator? If it's not possible to play Triforce games on real hardware, which is the best emulator for it? I'm building a dual screen / dual computer racing set-up in my basement. I have Teknoparrot for Mario Kart Arcade...

    GCN Dolphin is running slower

    What resolution are you outputting it at? If it's higher than the res you used prior to upgrading to Windows 10, maybe that's it. If not, try reinstalling Dolphin. And, check the resource monitor in the Windows control panel when it's running to see what (if anything) is taxing the cpu or gpu...

    Post Unpopular Gaming Opinions

    Um... Old games are better than the latest ones because they were about fun and skill instead of forcing you to walk through a bad movie and watch tedious videos before you can even start playing. Oh.. and Mario would look better without that revolting mustache. I mean... who has facial hair in...

    PS1/2 Ps2 lightgun for snes and genesis rom on lcd

    Yeah, it's an awesome time to be a light gun fan! BTW, Time Crisis 5 isn't emulated. It's cracked. The original arcade is PC based. The cracked version just works on a regular PC with mouse input. That is the same with most games in Teknoparrot too. It's why a lot of the latest HD arcade...

    Hardware PS3 CFW with aimtrack guns [?]

    I'm a light gun fanatic and have all the guns asked about here (+ loads of others)... I'd skip Aimtraks. I've never got the firmware working on my PS2 and they suck on my PC anyway. It's a terrible product and way too expensive. Mine live in a draw unused). The EMS Topgun 3 works on a PS2...

    PS1/2 Ps2 lightgun for snes and genesis rom on lcd

    The EMS Topgun 3 works on the PS2 as a guncon 2 and works on LCD screens. It will still only work on guncon 2 compatible games though. Your best option is to use a PC for emulators. The PS2 is not a great emulation machine anyway. There are a bunch of LCD screen compatible gun options for a...

    Hacking Wiimote emulation through GameCube controller

    Has anyone here ever attempted this with a pad / wiimote hack? I.e. A mod that connects the output of a nunchuk analog stick to the CLK, Data, 3.3v and GND pins of the Wiimote camera? As far as I can tell, the Wiimote positioning is output like an analog joystick. It just calculates the X / Y...
