u/IBoughtaRetroidNova

Years ago I watched part of a playthrough and I think seeing this part made me nope out of playing it.

Well, I forgot and now I am face to face with the kind of Ubisoft puzzle with moving platforms that I hate. I refuse to waste time on this tedium. I have spent fifteen minutes, and then I watched a video on Youtube in fast-forward that only confirmed how unfun it is.

Meanwhile the music drones on and the camera keeps zooming in on Tidus's face, drawing attention to how stiff he is and ruining the immersion. The puzzle itself clashes with the narrative. He has a melanchonic girlfriend who could be stolen by a villain again at any moment, but I guess she can wait! Sometime has triggered a fixation in our boy and so he is willing to risk losing his friend so he can backtrack through the trial collecting orbs and pushing stone statues around in trial and error in order to find a treasure chest with an HP sphere.

He doesn't even ever glance to his sides, but stares straight ahead like a robot while he stands on the treadmill that traverses a bottomless pit that he could plunge into at any second. And he refuses to hold more than one little orb at a time in his right hand despite lugging around a huge sword. It's one of his fixations.

Auron really hates dilly-dallying, but why is he cool with waiting for hours, days, or even weeks for Tidus to ride a magic roomba? It's infuriating to think about. I want to get on with the story already.

I want to setup a PS5 (AKA DS5) controller with Flycast for Dreamcast.

Under controller mapping there is separate left trigger and a left trigger 2. Which one is supposed to be when you pull the trigger all the way? And about how sensitive should the percent slider be when you lightly touch the trigger?

Finally, what games should I play to test the triggers in?

Now that the Nova has been out, and I'm sure there are people who have both, the time has come to ask it again, and be free of speculation. They have the same chipset but the Portal's screen is much bigger and it has slightly higher resolution.

I have wondered if I would have been better off buying the Portal so I wouldn't have to hold the Nova as close to my face. Although the Nova is light and the bag makes it pocketable. But giving up widescreen games and comfortably playing text heavy games stings.

If possible I'd love to see a picture of them next to each other too to compare the width.

Black screen on load in Game Native. Is there a trick in the settings to make it run on Android handhelds?

Bought a Retroid Nova and waited to play the game hoping to enjoy it with full controls instead of a touch screen. But why can't I install the game? Is it because the OS is stuck on Android 13? Is it an issue with the video configuration?

The chipset shouldn't be a problem.

I know most of the time they are swearing at each other and blaming each other for why they are losing, but I still feel like I am missing out. Because most of the time on the NA server my team speaks Spanish. And sometimes one of them will rage at me in all caps for the whole game.

(Super Mario RPG.) Instead of walking all the way across the world and multiple continents to come to the castle from the other side just because one bridge was destroyed. The final showdown could have happened much sooner. It would have taken less time to hire someone to build a rowboat.

I read Kanna was banned, (which was long overdue.) Now maybe you could ban the wannabe Dr. Phil show, unban Panduh, and begin to fix CVR?

This would be a great time for Sony to dust off whatever secret projects their R and D division were working on before society stopped caring about buying Bluray. I’m sure they prototyped much higher capacity discs that haven’t made it to the market.

What do you expect are the pros and cons? I'm leaning toward the Konkr.

I have an original GBA in the Konkr's horizontal layout and am used to it. I didn't have a GB SP. But a clamshell looks uncomfortable to me (albeit more pocketable.)

I don't like the cross shaped face buttons on either device since I will exclusively use it for GBA. I would rather have two large A and B buttons in horizontal layout with no other buttons to snag my thumb.

I don't know which has better chip. The Konkr has more RAM and Android though. I heard the Anbernic has issues with fast charging USBs unless you plug in a resister adaptor, and I don't want to carry around an extra thing to charge it. I'm also not sure which screen will be better, but I hope there won't be ghosting on the Konkr.

I read an old post that said when they updated Eden it added 2 GB of required headroom for emulating that system. What other drawbacks would I have today if I opted for the 8 GB model? Btw, I bought a Retroid Nova with 12 GB and rationalized it for looking more ergononic. But with one screen locked to 4:3 aspect ratio it won't comfortably do 3DS.

I don't really know why I need a Switch handheld though. Especially since if I wanted to I could just do Switch emulation on ny computer. And it goes without saying that I can play PC games on my computer. (I presume there are madmen working on modding or recompiling BOTW to have 8k upscaled VR mods, and that PC will remain the definitive way to play it.) I've also read PS3 and original Xbox on snapdragon still do not run well yet.

So are there any other reasons to pay the current prices for more RAM? How much extra memory does it take to run blueray quality videos on the top screen while gaming on the second?

I keep thinking of twin stick games like the Vampire Survivor clones. Although, I am not sure if you can run them since its Linux and most of those games are newer games that run on Android. I haven't looked much into it.

I already have a phone with a Snapdragon 8 gen 1 and the Nova is merely the next year's chip (gen 2.) I can live without playing PC games since I have a gaming PC.

I heard drivers are still an issue with the Odin's chip. I hope on the Nova's games will just work by default without having to download custom drivers.

I remember that playing the gamegear (especially Sonic) used to strain my eyes. I didn't have that problem playing Gameboy games. I don't know why, but if the battery didn't die I still needed to take a break.

I also didn't like how the screen was so small that I hardly had any warning before my character would run into things. I remember getting frustrated and eventually losing interest in the games I had while still loving playing Sonic on the Genesis.

Are there any PC (or other) titles where the 12 Gb model would make sense? Ones you could comfortably play on a small screen with 4:3 aspect ratio and not think "I should be playing this with widescreen."

I already struggled with Wild Rift on my phone. I rose many ranks just by switching to a tablet and being able to aim skill shots properly.

Are there any filters or scalers I can run that could help the legibility? Sometimes the font in games is too small.

Could it be that the DPI just wasn't enough for me? I might have been spoiled by my Samsung 22 Ultra screen.

I am considering whether to cut my losses and write it off. What a shame though since I like the form factor, though it does crimp up my hands because again...it is still too small.
