So this retro handheld review might have been my favorite so far. I have such an obsession with design language (be it gaming or all the way to architecture), and seeing something as unique and different as this rotating touch screen on a retro handheld? It won me over without a second’s hesitation

Sega Saturn emulator Yaba Sanshiro pushed a major update today for Android, changing the way it renders graphics to improve accuracy and increase the number of games compatible on it.
“Sour” the original dev is also still actively involved. Mesen is a multi-system emulator for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It supports NES, SNES, Game Boy (GB/SGB/GBC), Game Boy Advance, PC Engine, SMS/Game Gear, and WonderSwan (WS/WSC).
That is also an original, first edition KC Deluxe Vol 1 Akira. Thrown into the mix are Lewis Hamilton’s first and last championship winning F1 cars and some Dragonball for good measure.
It has come to our attention that from 6th May to today (12th May) the AppImage and Ubuntu zip assets of Cemu 2.6 on our github were compromised by a pro-Russian threat actor.
If you are a Windows or MacOS user you are not affected. If you are a flatpak user you are also not affected.
Back in the early 1990s we didn’t have YouTube or Discord or Twitch to help us make informed game purchases, we just had to read reviews in magazines or buy games based on kick ass cover art, which is exactly what I did with this. I never played the first 3 and I think there were more after this one. Sega’s answer to Nintendos R-Type series. Again it was faster, crazier and turned everything up to 11 in the side scrolling shooter genre. I think there was also a 2 player option. The music was ace and the bosses were absolute bastards. I also spent a long time trying to draw the ship. I think this was called something else in the USA, Lightning Force maybe?
WipEout 2097 was my first WipEout. Its soundtrack is etched in my memory and is, for me, the greatest videogame soundtrack ever. It defined my tastes in music, even when I strayed away from electronic towards metal. But my absolute favorite memories were on Wip3out, especially the Special Edition.

Another retro game post from me, I’m just posting my collection. If you want me to stop just say!
I’m using my own knowledge of each game and promise not to use Wikipedia so corrections please. They are games i used to own and have a sentimental attachment to.
The Sega Saturn emulator Yaba Sanshiro has taken a big leap forward thanks to a new rendering technique that allows it to overcome one of the console’s biggest quirks.
I really love the level design of Need For Speed II. It’s at the same time intentionally unrealistic, but still feels “realistic” at the same same - as opposed to the cartoony feeling of the likes of Mario Kart.
Originally scheduled for a mid-June release, the makers now insist it will be available from December 4, 2026, with no changes to the machine specs or pricing.

I wanted to check out some of the new, third-party hardware made for the Dreamcast recently. I bought a Retro Fighters D6 controller and an 8BitMods VMUPro. (Note: these may be in stock at other retailers, like https://stoneagegamer.com/ or https://videogamesnewyork.com/. 8BitMods ships from the UK, the others are from the US.)

I have the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth, GameSir Supernova, and GuliKit KK3 Max. I use these controllers when playing emulated retro games, so I thought I would share my thoughts on them if anyone is looking to pick up one!
A worthy detective game in the vein of Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot (but with animals), Last Train to Clawville is a compelling murder mystery visual novel that is easy to grasp and will keep you wanting to know more.
Here’s another one from me. Wipeout was an ultra cool game. This is from 1995 and is still in fantastic condition, box and game inside are barely touched (how do you add multiple pics on here?). Wipeout featured a fantastic soundtrack featuring Orbital, Chemical Brothers and Leftfield amongst others. It was probably one of the earliest games to show what the PS1 was really capable off and blew away anything the competition had.
If you were lucky enough to own a Dreamcast back in the day, and even luckier to experience its online functions via the Broadband Adapter, then you may have come across Bomberman Online, a superb puzzle game that allows you to blow up your enemies in unique and mind-boggling ways.
It’s not long since I clicked publish on an article about The Wind Waker being decompiled, and now here I am, writing about The Minish Cap going through the exact same process.
Welcome to the home of BigPEmu! BigPEmu is the first Atari Jaguar emulator to feature compatibility with the entire retail library, along with excellent performance and a wide variety of unique features.
No frustrating time-loop antics in the wonderfully designed The Posthumous Investigation, just a deep but fast-paced unraveling of who might have killed Rio de Janeiro’s most influential resident.
I ordered a Miyoo Mini Flip the other day and I want to curate a slim list of games for it, maybe three to five titles per system so I can just pick it up and quickly choose what to play. Therefore I need a selection of games that are actual heavy rotation material. What I mean by modern feel is quality of life stuff and a manageable difficulty curve rather than graphics. Most older games I’ve tried (that I didn’t play as a kid because nostalgia makes anything palatable) are just too hard without feeling rewarding. With my current emulation setup I find myself playing a lot of ROM hacks and Pico8 titles because while often with a simple concept those do usually check the modern feel marks I mentioned.
Welcome all.
I am personally using recalbox on a Raspberry Pi 400, overclocked to 2147/650.
1 Gbit network on the Raspberry is connected through cable.
