Imagine how great it was on the OG Xbox. You downloaded MAME and whatever roms you like, select one and it just played them. And the joypad was NEVER mapped to fucking keyboard bullshit by default. MAME and RetroArch are light years away from the experience that some retards hacked together 20 years ago.
Ah, the classic case of "we were too busy thinking if we could that we didn't stop to think if we should"
For anyone wondering, that’s the FunKey S. 240x240 screen so consoles have to be squished horizontally, and 50hz so you get a lower frame rate, albeit full speed. But for what it’s worth, it is a fully-functioning emulation handheld on a key ring with a GBA SP clamshell design.
That’s why I don’t bother with full sets in my main collection. I still have them just in case, but it feels much more satisfying to scroll through a list of 100 games for a system that you’ve picked out and know you’ll enjoy, compared to digging through a mountain full of games that you know you’ll never play.
That's why I LOVED the Retropie B.A.S.E image.
They could have made it twice as big and it still would've been keychain-sized... supergluing a GBA micro to a keyring seems more practical
Yech, that's what favorites lists are for... e.g. I've got maybe ~30 or so in my MAME favorites folder, and they didn't get them all in their curated list. There are some admirable deep cuts in there (Charlie Ninja, alright) but I won't leave myself at the mercy of normalfag tastes.
try with pleasuredome. That's how I got my romlist. the issue is that they're as autistic as those Mugen Archive fellows.
De gustibus. When it comes to arcade, I'm fine with downloading a romset with random shit (as long as it's not video poker and slot machines shit), so when I don't know what to play I can try typing a random word and see if anything decent comes out. That's how I discovered R-Type.
I wear glasses, and I can just feel the eyestrain from this photo. Not to mention the size of the damn buttons, not only do they look so fragile, they look like a real pain to push. Good luck trying to hit the right ones consistently. I'd rather have a decorative but non-functional handheld as a keychain than a functional one that's actually too small to really use.
For the ROM Google hshop. They have packages for modded 3DS but they can be installed on Citra. Actual .3ds ROMs work better for Citra, but I have no idea where to get those.
Corona-chan-> tons of people are suddenly stuck at home with nothing to do as the entire planet locks down -> Everything retrogaming skyrockets in value -> government gives everyone and their grandma gibs -> tons and tons of games got scooped up -> high demand + low supply = high prices
I have the feeling we are 5 years off from gamecube games being on virtual console. Zoomers need to figure out how to emulate and to download Dolphin. If you're paying more then the original cost of a game 20 years after it's release it's simply not worth it imo. I love Pikimin, Sunshine, Luigi's mansion but paying more then $60 for them? Just not worth it.
You could check out Lemuroid for DS and a handful of other consoles. It doesn't have a lot of enhancements and things to fiddle with but it's easier than trying to deal with retroarch if you are just wanting something easy to get up and running
