Thanks, I’ve never played Minecraft and it’s the one game on that list I was kinda interested in but not really.

You’re comment validates my purchase of a normal 3ds k

That’s going to be their problem with this. Is the tech similar to the switch, just more powerful?

If so, im guessing there will be a huge effort to make an emulator. And im guessing it will happen quickly.

It seems that ryujinx’s creator got a big check to stop, so maybe others are hoping for the same.

I plan to play the rereleases after finishing x and y

Remember, Nintendo tried to sue a grocery store in Costa Rica. Maybe don’t support them.

Remember Nintendo… please feel free to list the hundred other crappy things they did here.

I think that’s the case, already in general 4 I like the Pokémon I’ve caught and I’m not even at the first gym yet.

I think I struggled with the Pokémon in gen 3 since they didn’t learn good moves until a higher level. Loyola’s doesn’t even learn a water move until like level 37 in that gen.

Thanks for reminding me to not buy the switch 2

I planned to play up to sun/moon. I’ll give them a shot, but I’m mainly interested in platinum, black and white and , x&y.

I think not having good Pokémon has been my problem. I’m hesitant to replace them due to having trouble finding a good alternative and I don’t really care to grind for levels. I didn’t need to do that in the previous games.

I think I’m going to drop it and give it another try after finishing x and Y when I play omega ruby

 

I’ve been replaying though the Pokémon games for the first time since they came out.

I just finished Gold and started Emerald last week. I was really looking forward to it as I always hear great things about emerald.

But I have not been enjoying it. I feel like I’m constantly under leveled and even when I have a higher level than other Pokémon, I feel weaker.

The map has been a bit annoying going in circles for the first half of the game. I am at the 5th gym now, and decided to drop it and move to gen 4.

I also have not been happy with the team I built. It seems that the move sets I have are not really that good. I’m at level 20-30 and I’m just getting my first good moves for some of my team.

I wish you luck on this. I also would like to learn more about this, but it’s not a priority for me. I just got a cheap vps and will use that for testing 😂

It’s like he is purposely doing this to punish Americans for not reelecting him in 2020.

Like others have mostly said, Mint is a great choice.

All the different distros can basically all do the same things for the most part. The main differences between them are mostly philosophical and don’t matter to a new user.

Once you get comfortable with linux, you can easily switch to a different distro if you get annoyed with something.

For now, just choose a popular distro that you think has a nice user interface.

I think mint, popos, and Ubuntu are all great choices.

 

I loved the first game and I’m so excited for the second one. I’ll pick this up on day one.

If you haven’t played the first one, please check it out, I’m sure it’s super cheap at this point.

 

I’ve been replaying Gold on my game it color. I just beat the elite 4 and started going through the Kano gyms.

The elite 4 battles, were tough and it was really close. I genuinely was feeling the tension as I landed my last few hits.

The Kanto gyms seem really easy so far. Much easier than the elite 4, so that’s a bit disappointing.

I did decide against fighting red after getting the badges. I estimate my team will be around level 50 when I finish getting the ka to badges and I do not want to grind 20 levels to match red’s level.

After this, I’m going to play emerald, which I’ll emulate on my 3ds. I’m really looking forward to it as it seems like a huge technological leap compared to red > gold.

I played these games as a kid, but only have good memories of red, I had 0 memory of gold, and I have 0 memories of emerald. I never played the platinum generation so I’m extremely excited for that one.

 

Based on this site, it looks like there are just 15 games.

I only ask, because that console is selling used where I live for about 200-300, but the 3dsxl is only about 100 if you find a good deal usually around 120.

 

I planned to get a dsi and emulate gba games, but it seems that the emulation is not too great. I see it’s even worse on the ds lite.

If I use a gba flash cart in the ds lite, should I have full compatibility?

Additionally, how does screen quality between the 2 compare? I don’t care much about the size, but overall picture quality.

Thanks in advance!

 

I got my old game boys and have been playing pokemon gold on the gameboy color. I also have red and blue.

But, I want to play through the rest of them on original hardware up until the switch. I plan to use flash carts or some kind of mods to play the games as they are quite expensive.

Please let me know if there are any flaws in my plan.

Gameboy Advance SP (I like this as it’s backlit and will let me play my other gameboy games)

  • Pokemon Emerald

New 3dsxl/2dsxl

  • the rest of the games I’d like to play them all using flash carts or software mods. Since these games are not as old I’ll buy the original if they are under $100

Is it as simple as picking up these two consoles to play all the pre-switch pokemon games? Is there a better non-emulation option?

 

I found my old gameboy color, and I started playing Pokémon gold on it.

The thing is, the screen sucks. I see there are backlight mods and wanted to know if anyone has experience with this.

I’m not sure if all the displays made for the gameboy color have the same resolution.

I can only buy kits directly from China where I live, but the resolutions are not listed. I’m worried it’s going to distort the original image.

 

I grew up playing Final Fantasy VII. I probably played it around 10-12 years old and again on ios a few years ago.

WOW! What a classic.

I decided to play the remake on my Steam Deck just ot revisit the game and see areas of the game reimagined.

They did a great job in this aspect, but overall I feel that the game has not been fun.

So far, it is just walking from place to place while having the occasional battle. 99% of the time you can mindlessly mash a button to find the battle.

The few boss battles that come up can be interesting and this is where you start to learn the mechanics as they are not needed up until this point.

But, there are many sections that are long for the sake of being long. Like making you walk slowly in certain situations, like walking up to 7th Heaven, or making you hold a button to interact with something when 99% of things just require you to press the button once.

My biggest disappointment in the game is that the gear I unlocked and leveled up, do not carry over to the next game. Once I learned this, I stopped caring. They really should have let you bring over your characters.

Anyway, I am near the end game now and will probably finish it since there is not much left, but I will not be playing other iterations of this game. I might just watch a speed-run or a "let's play" to see the different areas.

 

I played oot using Ship of Harkinian to play a randomized version of this game after seeing it run at GDQ. I did use easier randomizer settings than the runner did, but I just completed my first run of it.

I did need to use the log 4 times to lookup where an item was.

The first one was to find the letter to give to king zora. It was behind a waterfall in the gerudo valley.

After this, I used it to find the megaton hammer. It was in the grotto right in front of the entrace to the goron city. I was a little annoyed as I knew about this grotto and didn't check it before since I got the song of storms late in the game.

I found the longshot by beating dampe in under 1 minute or actually 1 minute on the dot. I also got the light arrows from speaking to the chicken girl as an adult.

I felt pretty good about this as 3/4 hints I needed were to find items in places that i did not know that you could find items.

I'm not a zelda expert and only played through this game casually before. So if you like this game, i'd recommend giving the randomizer a try. It breathed new life into the game.

 

After finishing Mario Kart Double dash, I decided to try Mario Kart DS as I never played that one.

I’m guessing that it had to do with the hardware, but the karts felt slow, so I moved on to Mario Kart 8.

I have to admit that this version of the game looks the best and the kart movement feels the best.

It’s such an improvement over Double Dash that I think I do in fact like it better. Especially at 200cc.

 

I’ve been playing double dash recently and it seems like the least dumbed down Mario kart game.

I love that each racer has their own special, I love that you need to swap out the racers to actually get a second power up.

The game has been really fun. I just lost gold on special cup by 2 points. I did terribly on rainbow road with toad 😂

 

This game is really just a Castlevania clone for the Master System. It is a bit easier than Castlevania, but it’s still really fun and fits the mood really well.

If you like classic Castlevania, give this game a try. I’m sure you will enjoy it.

If you’ve played it before, what are your thoughts on it?
