The device in the thumbnail is the Ayaneo Flip DS, for anyone else wondering. From a quick search, it runs Windows and is stupid expensive.
It is absolutely shocking to me how long it is taking for fans to turn on Nintendo. They’ve done this hardcore corpo shit for years. They should have a public image far worse than EA by now.
The nostalgic love runs deep, I guess.
raises hand
As an owner of hundreds of Nintendo pieces from arcade to Switch… I’ve turned.
Original console or RPi3 with Lakka for classics on the Sony Trinitron, and GOG or Steam on Linux for anything new.
Look into a MiSTer FPGA. It’s way better than a pi (latency!) for everything up to ps1/n64/Saturn
Don’t remind me. I need a PVM to go with it. 😅 Although, I actually like the 240p composite video on the Trinitron TV, it looks exactly like it did back-in-the-day and indistiguishable from the real consoles’ composite output.
The Lakka image I’m using is well-tuned with noticably less lag than some Pi setups I’ve seen. Interested Pi owners can find it here.
I can’t find it, but someone has been collecting stats on input lag for many different USB gamepads/controllers as well.
I was shocked at how badly I was playing Symphony of the Night on a PS Vita TV with a DualShock 4… it turned out to be the input lag… of an real Sony controller on a real Sony console. Connect it by USB cable - noticable lag went away. 🤬
Honestly, with a 4k TV and a MiSTer, you can do some amazing things with shadowmasks and scanline filters, it looks good. And still, very very little latency (I can beat Tyson in Punch Out on an LCD display, no issues – try that on Lakka)
This is not even remotely new.
These assholes can’t seem to grasp that emulation is the only reason their old games are still popular.
But they don’t care, do they ? It’s better for them if you stop playing the old game and buy the 1234th remake of Mario at full price on Switch
They don’t do that. They have re-releases that are available for purchase for a month before they’re gone, and then they rent you the old emulated games forever, on worse emulators, with no option to buy them.
Particularly with the modding scene. You can’t exactly do a randomiser with the cartridge.
Booooo…
If anyone pointed me towards a thing that helped me run things on steam deck, that would be neat.
Emudeck
Glad I hacked my switch before Nintendo all went to shit. I am done buying Nintendo products. (To be fair I will never have time to get through my back log anyway)
Emulation is the only reason I still talk about or recommend Nintendo games
Hell, emulation is a lot of what I use my switch for!
I also own all of the Switch games I play on Switch, but Nintendo digital purchases are a no-go for me since they’ll eventually turn off the servers, so I only buy physical and only play them once they’ve been ripped.
Fuck Nintendo. I refuse to buy any of their games anymore. If its something I want to play, I will pirate instead.
I just bought a Wii and a 3DS a year or two ago for the first time. CFW on both of them and packed them full of games. Had a blast.
In ten years I’ll probably do the same with the switch.
There is already a r4 for switch I think
Man, I know that clamshell Ayaneo is too expensive and that form factor isn’t as good as I think it is… but I still really want one.
Oh, hey, is that you, Barbra?
Is Nintendo trying to get people to not buy their games?
If they are, it unfortunately isn’t working very well
They succeeded with me for the rest of this gen in March this year after killing Yuzu. I was originally going to wait to hack my Switch until the Switch 2 was released, but I went ahead and did it then.
They have succeeded with me, fuck Nintendo
They want to run their fanbase away, yes
It’s working, my desire to buy nintendo games is going down with every piece of news that comes out about them
Copying Nintendo games isn’t only ethical; it’s a moral obligation.
I’ve never been much of a Nintendo fan, but news like this makes me want to get into using Nintendo emulators.
Bad news everyone! They’ve already shutdown the best emulators. One if the best ceased development yesterday after some Nintendo strong-arming.
“Let the old games DIE!”
I would say the answer to avoid any of this would be to use homebrew games but I don’t know if ones for harder systems to emulate (GameCube, PS2, etc) would be great for testing handheld emulators
Oh no, poor zetaplays! I love that guy
Never give Nintendo money.
Retro Game Corps is the targeted channel in this video. He doesn’t focus on piracy of games at all. Mostly he does reviews of hardware and has some high effort videos.
Yep, no endorsement of piracy whatsoever. Just showing how to set up emus.
He did make passing reference to the Migswitch which is why Nintendo is big mad.
