retro hardware

Title says it all. I'm curious what devices you use for which purpose. For me, it's: * Mid-range PC from 2020 running Linux for anything native, Windows (Wine, Proton) or emulated consoles starting with generation 6, also any game that may require a mouse (mainly Windows, DOS or Amiga games)...

In the age of massive emulator libraries and Steam backlogs, it can sometimes be taken for granted the act of “playing what you have”. I’ve felt that recently with Phantasy Star on the Master System. I don’t have many games for my Master System, but I only really need Phantasy Star for right...

para cuando subiran, roms de xbox, clasica pues la verdad, no caeria mal, poder emular esta consola o mejor poder jugar sus juegos grabados en un disco, digan cuando subiran roms de la xbox clasica

Mini consoles, replicas of the original ones, boarded with a limited number of games ( sometime with the possibility of extending ). I personally like collecting them, some have a great attention to detail. My favorite should be the " Egret 2 mini " , The screen can be rotated to play...

I’m sure you’ve seen it before if you’re into the Amiga, but my lord, this video is absolutely gobsmacking. The style, the presentation, and the use of such a small aspect to teach so much about the Amiga and Amiga culture. It’s incredible.

I'm fascinated by the Satellaview, how about you? I love learning new things about it. then again, I love learning about video game history in general, but I digress. It was a neat idea at the time, video game that could be played when they were broadcast live via satellite. It also broadcast...

I have an N64 with which I use a flash cart to load my games. The problem is, I don't have an Expansion Pak. Is there any way to play games that require the Expansion Pak without having to invest in one? Anything I can load onto my flash cart to work around this? I'm kinda taking shots in the...

I have owned this device, the photos below were taken by me after I found it in the darkest corner of a balk: My grandma has bought it for me on local flea market as a replacement for my Tetris 99-in-1 “console”, IIRC. Cool, isn’t it? However, I had no idea what to do with this thing. At...

This is my first thread on this forum. I just had these ideas that I want to talk about :) A brief introduction...? First off... What do I mean by the title: Modern Retro Fusion? To begin with, I had these vision of a concept that I want to bring out. I am an artist but I lost motivation on...

I just gotten one a couple of days ago just because I wanna record games off my Wii in S-Video and like I know you're not suppose to use an analog capture device in OBS but my god the interlacing is killing me. Even tried all of the deinterlacing filters from top to bottom but still gives some...

I feel there's a considerable divide when it comes to games on old microcomputers. Some love the C64 and Spectrum, others hate the games on them. I thought making a thread about them would be cool, so here goes. The MSX was super popular in Arabia in the 1980s, and Konami, Hudson and Compile...

Is the Atari Jaguar, 3DO & Amiga CD-32 apart of the 4th Gen or 5th Gen? They don't feel like they belong in the same generation as PSX/N64/Saturn. but these system is competing against pre-existing 16-bit system like the SNES & Genesis. When Late 1994-1996 came around the corner. These system...

Do you guys use a specific color palette to play classic Game Boy games on emulators? I ask because I see a lot of gameplays of people using different palettes. I use a modified Super Game Boy palette, as long as an emulator has the option to put a custom palette (like Pizza Boy). Examples of...

I like to visit ReadOnlyMemo website. There's a bunch of good interviews with romhackers and news about this scene. At the end of each post, Fenlon usually posts some crispy screenshots of games covered at that issue, and the PC98 screenshots always amazes me!! I'm eager to play them, but the...

Though modern filters on high resolution modern displays can somewhat replicate the look of a CRT monitor, there are still many of us who love the look and feel of a real crt, prefering to use these old displays to play our favourite retrogames to this day. How do you use your crt? do you play...

When digital cameras broke out in the 1990s, that was thought to be the last evolution for photography; finally, you didn’t need film, you could store your photos on the camera itself and even transfer and print them from a computer! While a generally antiquated idea by today’s standards...
