Costco is carrying the console for $79. It’s tempting to get it. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/02a70a76-670c-4318-9991-74ff1415c5e9.jpeg

Im looking for a flashcard for my '89 Gameboy and stumbled upon the Everdrive-GB cartridges. The x3 is about 20 bucks cheaper than the x5. What am I missing out on if I get the cheaper one? Only thing I wanna do is to play a few homebrew gameboy games.

I found some gaming and retro wall decor etc at Hobby Lobby. They have them 50% off...

I just picked up Gauntlet for nes and when I load into room 1 I’m greeted with glitched walls misplaced everywhere which let’s me walk through some. and there’s random items I can’t pick up which means I’m unable to continue in the game past room 1

So, there are projects like these;...

At some point, I don’t know when, Mupen64 Pro FZ stopped launching games on my Retroid Pocket 3+. I have the paid version from the play store, and my N64 games are stored as zip files. I haven’t messed with any settings (I think) and it used to work fine, so I’m a bit baffled....

I want to stay away from the Site That Shall Not Be Named, so I figured I would check on Lemmy.world for some useful info....

Dominion of Darkness is a strategy/RPG text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and...

The more rare, obscure, or just a guilty pleasure, the better. Maybe you grew up with it, maybe it’s just the nostalgia talking, any reason is fine....

is there a way to transfer a Paper Mario 64 Save file to the Wii version? Thanks!

So this is a thought I had the other day. Do you think for longevity / preservation it is best to leave consoles connected to power or leave them unplugged, ignoring something like a power surge?

Could you suggest controllers that have similar form-factor to NES, but work with modern computers?...

I should love this game… I’ve been trying for years to get in to it, keep thinking it will get better just round the corner but… It’s so damn tedious!...

Hey there,...

After a bit of searching and help, I found out how to use my 8BitDo Ultimate Pro Bluetooth/2.4Ghz controller in 2.4GHz mode in the Switch mode, including with full gyro support. Note: there are two firmware versions, one for the controller and one for the receiver. This is only possible with a specific version of the receiver...

Can I fix this somehow?

Hardly retro hardware but now with the new version coming out it’s definitely obsolete. Even so I’m still lovin my rp2+. Even my RP3+ hasn’t been able to replace it....

Why were there so few and what were they anyway?

Just a random (almost 35 years too late) question because I’ve been replaying SMB2 on the Switch....

Hello everyone,...

Please drop some links for the soldering irons y’all use, mine is apparently lost in my parent’s attic, and thinking of, probably too large for console modding....

Looking for some advice here, I’m out to complete two things:...

Even though we got a computer in the mid to late 90’s, a shitty DOS-box that no-one kind of really knew how to do anything with, I was infinitely interested in anything to do with it. I remember playing Guerrilla Wars and some dungeon crawlers on it and such, but I feel like I almost entirely missed out on text-based games. I...
