  • I remember, when playing RoboCop on the Spectrum, when you died you had to rewind the tape to the right place so you could reload just that one level. I died so much I could rewind the tape to exactly right place on the first try.

  • ANBERNIC Announces Their RG406H Android Handheld Emulator | Retro Dodo

  • Screen aspect ratio is a big factor when choosing a retro handheld.

    Widescreen (Retroid Pocket 5) is great for PSP and later 3D consoles, although widescreen hacks for DreamCast, PS1, and even N64, can add a lot to the experience.

    4:3 (Anbernic RG406H) is a natural fit for most consoles.

    You would think that the square screens (Anbernic RG CubeXX) would make sense for only a few games but, in practice, they work out much better than you would expect. Retro Game Corps's review of the PowKiddy RGB30 explains it pretty well.

  • What does “internet” mean?

    I believe it means you'll be able to watch it on the NHK web site. Keep an eye on the show's page.

  • Yes, K-TEC UK is a retailer. No, this isn't market research. We're posting news that we hope the retro-gaming community will find interesting.

    It's possible that I may have fallen into a pattern when it comes to the way I phrase the question at the end; but I don't know what happened to my "d" key today...

  • Wii And GameCube Emulator Dolphin Gets A Version Number Overhaul | Time Extension

    Jump

  • Thank you for pointing out the unclear wording.

    This change isn’t about introducing any fixes, updates, or features to the emulator itself;

    is talking about the change between version 5.0-21811 and 2407. I've updated the post to be clearer.

    Dolphin have made huge strides in GameCube/Wii emulation since the 5.0 release, and I think they've done themselves a disservice by not highlighting these significant achievements through major version number releases.

  • Upcoming ANBERNIC RG40XX Handheld “Leaks” | Retro Dodo

    Jump

  • How can you ask if it offers value without specifying a price?

    You make a valid point. Given that it uses the same chipset, I'd guess that it will be priced a bit higher than the RG35XXSP.

    After using OnionOS, the only thing that matters to me is the OS.

    Totally agree with you about OnionOS. That's what made the Miyoo Mini (Plus) devices great. Given that the RG40XX is expected to use a Linux OS, there's a better chance that we'll have some great custom firmware. I'm hoping for ArkOS, although GarlicOS may also be a possibility.

    I have a Retroid and Android gaming is clumsy.

    I agree that Android is a difficult beast to tame, though it can be done.

  • The Amiga Is Getting A Dune II Remaster From One Of The Original Developers | Time Extension

    Jump

  • The Commodore Amiga is a family of personal computers that were available from 1985. They used the Motorolla 68000 family of CPUs, the main competitor to Intel's x86 CPUs at the time.

    The Amiga is held in great esteem, in no small part due to its innovative design featuring the use of co-processors. The co-processors had their own names, such as Paula, the sound co-processor.
