Got it. Thank you.
Got it. Thank you.
There’s a ROM download on the developer’s page. Does anyone know if that’s a beta version or a demo or…?
Thank you for working on this and for sharing with everyone!
The game still needs to be available for the right CPU architecture.
Drilldozer on GBA is a decent game that’s easy to consume in small chunks
I remember using the mouse on Wolfenstein 3D, but that was the only game I ever played with it besides Mario Paint.
Nothing wrong with knowing what you like. I grew up on arcades and early generation consoles, so my preference skews towards faster paced games with tight controls. Because of that I just don’t enjoy anything that I perceive as slow to control. To be fair though, any games from those early generations that felt slow to control didn’t appeal to me either.
Ah, but if you only go after what you want, then by definition you’re avoiding what you don’t want.
I want to like LOK:SR, but I can’t get past how much I dislike how it controls.
I agree that Tomb Raider is worse though.
Games with “tank” controls like Tomb Raider or Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver. I find them painful and unenjoyable.
Nintendo of America only allowed the blood in Mortal Kombat to look like sweat on the SNES. IIRC, the second game had blood though.
Not necessarily. Accuracy comes down to specific implemention of the emulator, hardware or software.
Where FPGA shines is it can do operations in parallel, just like actual hardware would. This means there will be a lot less latency in the emulation, giving it a feel that’s close to the original hardware.
An FPGA implementation of the GBA can be as inaccurate as software emulation, and just because a game seems to play the same way doesn’t mean the emulator is calculating everything in the exact same way as the original hardware. Cycle accuracy isn’t technically necessary to have it still seem exactly the same so long as the timing is the same. That’s what the PS1 core on the MiSTer is (timing accurate, though not perfectly cycle accurate).
It was the same with the PS2 and DVDs
The PS3 was pretty damned expensive for the time. I bought a MGS4 version, and I nearly returned it due to the expense. A few things made me keep it though: it was an excellent media player with lots of support for plugging in external drives full of media (and IIRC they regularly pushed new codecs out with system updates), wireless controllers and Burnout Paradise. I still play Burnout Paradise regularly. I never owned many Blu-ray movies, but it had that going for it too when most of the world was still using DVDs.
I don’t think that anything that has followed the PS3 has been nearly as good of a device. I hardly ever use my PS5 now, and if most of my library weren’t PlayStation-exclusive titles, I’d probably just sell the thing in favor of my Steam Deck.
Are you literally here to proclaim that Windows is the better OS because Linux gives you the freedom to screw it up?
My brother in computing, that’s on you if you’re having problems with fixing problems you’ve caused in Linux. As a former professional system admin, I’ve run into issues with Windows that Microsoft’s own support team could not figure out and had to refund their fee. I have never, not once, had an issue in Linux that I couldn’t fix or find someone who knows how.
That’s how I felt about it too
With respect, you can screw up Windows by doing things in a non-standard way too. That’s not the fault of the OS.
This was my experience too. I tried setting up a Bottles container for it as I’ve had success with that approach a few of the times that I can’t get a Proton version to work, but no dice.
I actually wasted a couple of hours trying to get it to work because it looks fun, but I gave up when I realized that I had spent all of that evening’s free time not having fun.
I couldn’t find anyone talking about getting it working on the Deck. If you happen to come across any working instructions, would you please ping me? I’ll do the same for you. Thanks in advance!

Well then those people must be made to understand our peaceful ways… by force!
Thank you for that article! He’s a truly good writer, and I read a couple more of his entries before I bookmarked his site.
