  1. I've enjoyed a lot of Metal Gear but I returned to my playthrough of and just defeated the water snake boss that goes fast and gave me the Speed Boost!

  2. My RG35XX SP now has a little adopted brother, the Mini Plus!

    Forgot to get a new SD card for it tho...

  3. What We’re Playing: October 2025
    It's been a couple of years, I believe since we reported on what we're currently playing. This doesn't fill in any blanks for the time since we last reported, but maybe it'll be a useful snapshot for the current moment. Maybe we'll return to doing these, maybe once a month?

  4. The last MIT Flea / Swapfest of the year is this coming Sunday, October 19th. I will be selling! I want stuff out of my home! All unreasonable offers will be entertained and/or entertaining!

    Among other things I will have are:

    - a Power Macintosh 7200/90 with a 300 MHz G3 upgrade card

    - a 400 MHz G4 Graphite desktop, in its original box

    - a Miyoo PocketGo, the predecessor to the Miyoo Mini (i.e., a #GameDad)

  5. This is by far the biggest pixel art piece I've ever done. I normally like to stick to very low res and mostly sprite work, but for some reason I decided to make this "totally not a gameboyTM" have an accurate screen size. And why not do it in the GB Studio DMG palette while I'm at it?

    I'm very proud of it though, it turned out far better than I could have imagine! I'm excited to use it as a stream asset in as many ways as I can dream up xP

    Shoutout to @ifixcoinops and their website gamedad.club/ for sending me down the Game Dad rabbit hole several months ago. I love my Game Dads <3

  6. Did #Google just launch another game platform, just to kill it in a few next months or years?😅

  7. Hrmm. Speaker sounded terrible after loading some games so I went to investigate. The front face of the speaker seems to have laminated itself to the printed grille? I printed this a week ago. It wasn’t a hot part. Can a speaker get that hot?

    I reassembled speaker-less for now.

  8. Well look at that. It wasn’t too hard at all. Time to charge it up and add some ROMs

  9. I love this use of “extra” space from the Pi-Tin folks. I’m a competent enough solderer, but it will still be kind of fun and reassuring to test my skills with the extra bits.

    …Or maybe I use it to teach my 8yo about soldering…

  10. I have been playing some more and yep. This is awesome. I really like this location I just got to, the clock tower! Lots of moving mechanisms.

  11. I returned to because @jefklak scolded me for having the Dominus Collection and not even have completed this one first. Kinda fun so far!

    But I need to get the double jump...

  12. Wow. Switching from #Knulli to #MuOS dropped the boot time on my RG35xx H from 51 seconds to 16 seconds.

    That’s a huge improvement and really fixes one of my major frustrations with it.

  13. Got to Zozo town in at last. 9 hours into this game and it has been fun!

    Playing on my makes things very epic.

    I'm playing the version for better sound, using the ROSE patch for QOL stuff and revised translation. Sadly Romhacking.net is no longer with us to link it...

  14. Reposting from XQuader on other platforms:

    New core for PICO-8 (fake08): added RetroArch controls remapping.

    ➡️ drive.google.com/file/d/1AnHu6

    (May not be any real performance improvements but I'll try it out anyway.)

  15. Reposting from XQuader on other platforms:

    New core for TIC-80 (tic80): HUGE performance improvement, here are benchmark results:

    Bunnymark (bunnies number till stutters): 40 bunnies in old core, 340 bunnies in new core
    Crapmark (overall score): 3170 in old core, 10015 in new core

    ➡️ drive.google.com/file/d/1stTX9

    (I posted about TIC-80 being really slow on the RG35XX so I hope this helps.)

  16. I still love the Anbernic RG35XX with GarlicOS but wow I find myself having to write a bunch of scripts to run on the device to fix things that go wrong...

    Luckily I'm getting better at writing them, so that's a nice bonus. (Shell scripts were never my strong point.)

  17. I haven't tried this yet, but GarlicPress looks interesting.

    ➡️ github.com/prosthetichead/Garl

    "GarlicPress is a companion application for the RG35xx running GarlicOS. The main aim of the application is to never require you to remove the SD cards from your device. GarlicPress uses ADB to communicate over USB."

  18. One of my tweaks for the Anbernic running GarlicOS. Since I am not an old time gamer I don't know what the heck controller goes with what the heck old console system!

    So I added text labels. I didn't really plan it out so it could have been much better, but it works for now.

    It was just a matter of editing the images on the SD card.
