Need advice with control mapping for PS2 emulation, I use PCSX2 and a Playstation 4 controller. In Gran Turismo 4, you can apply throttle and brake by tilting the right analog stick up and down, giving a wide range of values for the input in true analog nature rather than a binary 1 or 0 input for throttle and brake like with simple buttons. Is there a way to map this to the pressure sensitive shoulder buttons of the PS4 controller (R2/L2), as is convention of modern driving games?

The right analog stick control is still awkward to this day and the PS4 controller doesn't have the pressure sensitive button feature of the PS2 controller, so its purely a binary control unless you use the shitty right analog stick input.
 
Did anyone notice that only romhacking.net and romhackplaza.org is hosting new Ukrainian translations? I expected a bigger worldwide push towards Ukrainian translations that should still be persisting.
Then again, considering the suppor towards Hamas Gaza nd Palestine, I am surprised tha there are no translations into Arabic lately.

There's a cheat code that lets the game translate analog triggers as an acceptable input. IDK if it's include with PCSX2's cheat database but you can find the patch here

Alternatively there's a really cool mod for GT4 online that has that code prepatched plus a bunch of other cool features

I second this. It's built on the beta build of the GT4 public test "demo" to not have to deal with multiple disk issues. The major mod changes improves the handling, add an event randomizer with scaling difficulty to generate races quickly in whatever you're driving, a couple new camera angles, improved textures, and a metric fuckton of cars. It should give you the fix you're looking for with the triggers and it has improved wheel support if you have one. There's also some small quality of life stuff like a prize car randomizer and all rally cars now come with offroad tires by default instead of street tires. It's probably the best way to experience the game in the current year, especially with a force feedback wheel and pedal setup.
 
I can't find a more appropriate thread for this but I was replaying Super Mario World and I remembered, many years ago, I had a friend who INSISTED that the cloud platforms you can fly to (example here) were "teeth".

This works too. Some that don’t have microtransactions, or they’re at least out of the way:
  • Balatro
  • Bejeweled Classic (a mobile port of Bejeweled 3 minus the Quest mode)
  • Cook Serve Delicious
  • Human Resource Machine / 7 Billion Humans
  • Super Hexagon
  • World of Goo
  • The classic Backyard Sports games are like a dollar each if you can deal with the controls
  • Bloons TD 5/6 (these both have microtransactions to unlock stuff faster, but no timers IIRC)
  • Plants vs. Zombies (one microtransaction gets rid of ads, the rest can be ignored)

This is a terrific list of mobile games.

To add to that, my go-to is Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It's free on Android and five buckaroos on iOS. Additionally, Minecraft and GTA San Andreas also have oddly good mobile versions.

I'm starting to get into N64 collecting. Besides the usual titles to get (Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Ocarina of Time, and Wave Race 64 to name a few), what are some other ones that I should look for?

Not trying to be that guy, but it's worth getting a Everdrive64 for romhacks/translations. The n64 has a huge issue where once you leave the big hitters the library is pretty weak, I guess Mischief makers is alright. Doom 64 is another good one, but it's completely worthless on the n64 now that you can play it with M&KB on pc.

I find it hard to believe people would virtue signal for Ukraine by translating games, even most devoted probably don't care enough to take the time to do something like that.

Have you ever played Gauntlet Legends?

If you're up for getting a region free cartridge tray, Puyo Puyo SUN and Puyo Puyo~n are a lot of fun.
