Does Driver (PS1) and other games limit their own speed sometimes?
Hi. I’m playing emulated Driver using pcsxr on Linux. Sometimes, when I’m being chased by three or more police cars for example, I’m observing a drop rate (from ~59 fps to ~45 fps). I first thought my computer (which is an old i3 540!), but I soon changed my mind because of two reasons:...
Microsoft Bans Gamers Using Retail Mode Emulators on Xbox ( www.tomshardware.com )
Even though I've completed DKC2 literally hundreds of times since I first got it for the SNES in 1995, I've only 100%'d DKC3 once. I can blaze through DKC2 in no time, but not this one! I love it. ( i.postimg.cc )
Recommendations for SNES style controllers supported by retro handhelds
I have an RG353V currently running ArkOS. Works great, plugged it into my TV and looks great there too. Tried both a USB Xbox controller and PS3 controller and neither seem to be recognized (both of which I know Linux kernel models exist to support). Wanted to pick up a couple of SNES style controllers (kids mostly play Nintendo...

I guess it's a pinball kinda weekend. ( lemmy.world )
Decided to open my Amiga emulator and play one of my favorites from my teenage years. If you’ve never played this game, you’ll be surprised when you do. 4 tables. It feels surprisingly realistic. The ball moves like on a real pinball table. The music is very late 80s early 90s, of course!

CCG-style retro games?
Were there any card games like Magic: The Gathering for retro systems? I expect not, because the digital card game genre didn’t really “click” until later. But I thought I’d ask.

Anybody else love Soul Reaver 2? ( assets-prd.ignimgs.com )
Played this game back back in the early 2000s era. I wish they made games like this again. Combat was a bit clunky but the music, story line, and voice acting were fantastic. Obviously left an impression nearly 20 years later.

Revisiting the 1997 Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro joystick for PC!
