A bunch of classic EA games just got added to Steam. I literally just bought Sim City 3K on GoG...

No thanks.  Can't play a lot of retro games on Windows 10 anyway, and Steam only works on Windows 10 and newer.  I'll stick to GoG copies.  You guys are more than welcome to be guinea pigs though.

If it's being listed on Steam today, it supports Windows 10. I understand the sentiment but there's no guinea pig. Its just a trade off storefront vs. drm free version.

Any way old games are made accessible now is a good thing.

Thought I'd share one of my biggest treasures, Detana!! Twinbee for PC Engine (aka Turbografx 16) it is a vertical shoot em up but aka "cute em up" as it's very lighthearted and cutesy in style. There's a 9 lives code too and my fiancee and I have cleared it on the PC Engine Core Grafx a couple times.

 

 

Still has the plastic covering it came with from the store.

 

 

The back. Unfortunately some scratches on the case.

 

 

The inside.

 

 

Complete with manual, game advertisement pamphlet, registration card, and sticker sheet.

I ordered a Raspberry Pi composite cable that plugs into the headphone jack, for the purpose of hooking it up to my CRT tv for arcade games (because they look terrible on a 77" OLED).

 

It took some manual editing of config files. note to anyone doing this: use an adapter and plug in your SD card to your PC and edit /boot/config.txt. I'm using retropie, and going to the command line with a keyboard on the actual Pi, even with "sudo su" the boot drive doesn't appear to be mounted. It took a while of banging my head against the wall with the CLI on the pi before editing it in my pc made it work.

 

Anyway, in addition to my consoles we can now do TMNT, X-Men, Windjammers (serious business that game) as well as Cave and Raizing/Eighting games like e.s.p.rade, Dodonpachi Daioujou, Ketsui, Espgaluda, Armed Police Batrider, Battle Garegga and more.

 

Video quality is not the best and kind of blurry, but it works and the cable was only $8.

Hey @UltraMegacan you please post a link for me to the controller thing you have for Smartphone gaming? I'm thinking of getting one for my brother for his birthday.

 

Also, considering I know virtually nothing about emulation on Smartphones, what's the best PSX emu and best SNES emu? Hopefully ones that are free and adless.

 

Thanks buddy.

Retroarch on Android is a pretty great starting point, it acts as kind of a mini front-end and manages a bunch of "Cores" for each system and has multiple options for each system.

 

 

It has a slightly weird layout and config so definitely might require some guides, but it does a lot of the config, video, controls and all that stuff for you.

 

 

Emulation Station Desktop Edition is also working on an Android Front-end that can interface with Retroarch that I'm playing with right now and has made managing all my games much easier with full controller support.

Just search for the Razor Kishi.

I am very familiar with retroarch as well as EmulationStation as they are both on my custom retropie. Did not know they were available for Android. Thanks.

Thanks, will do in October for my brother.

My brother said he should finally have his room at the house he shares with other people. Currently he's in a small space, a very small room and has no room for his stuff, consoles, or PC which is all in storage.

 

As opposed to the Razer Kishi, he asked for a retropie and I can just write my backup of mine to an SD card for him. He also already has a Rock Candy wired Xbox 360 controller he can use with it. So that's what I am going to do instead.
