It’s debatable whether the Wii U should be considered to be part of “retro gaming”. It’s my most up-to-date console. Nevertheless, I think it’s worth getting this info out there.
I would suggest that it’s easier to download carts from https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?cat=7&sub=2
https://onionui.github.io/docs/emulators/pico-8 says pretty much everything else I would say. It’s also worth noting that you can rename .p8
files to .png
and they’ll work the same. The advantage is that the .png
file also functions as cover-art.
The default configuration of OnionOS uses the fake08
core for PIC0-8 games. Its compatibility is good but not perfect. I believe it’s possible to set-up the paid-for, official PICO-8 runtime, but I’ve never done it so I have no notes.
I agree. It is absolutely crazy to think that the Miyoo Mini can handle the DS. In other good news, with ArkOS installed, your RG351V can also play DS games; other custom firmwares may also be able to do so but I haven’t tried with them.
I’ve spoken to Miyoo about this device. They say that it will be released in November and will be available both from AliExpress and third-party retailers (IOW, you’ll find it on Amazon). I asked for specifications but none were forthcoming.
Miyoo have a long history of being optimistic with release dates so take “November” with a pinch of salt.
Well, I think you would be fine going blind as…
Sounds as if it may be worth giving a try sometime.
I do both, usually I re play old classics when I don’t want to think too much or I only have too little time to play to not being able to process stuff 😅
Have you also had been able to play some games that you always wanted to as a child, but couldn’t, for whatever reason?
I hear a lot said about the Dragon Ball games, but I’ve never actually played one myself. Would someone unfamiliar with the mangas get a lot out of them?
I’m always curious about how people use their retro-gaming devices. Do you stick with games from your past, or have you found some previously unknown gems? For instance, I love the fact that I can replay the Metroid games, up to Fusion on the GBA, but I’ve also discovered that I thoroughly enjoy 1942 (Arcade) and its sequels.
It’s amazing to be able to carry around a huge catalogue of retro games in such a convenient form-factor.
What are you playing while on your trip?
Back in the days when it was first released, I’m sure I read that it should be pronounced “Susie”. That’s the way I’ve always said it.
