A thread for those using their phones for retro-gaming, from emulation to ports of retro-games.
I have a Poco M4 Pro and I use Retroarch with a Bluetooth controller (one of those cheap ipega controllers) and it works fine outside of N64 emulation giving me stuttering, heard I'm better off using mupen64fz instead.

Because the hardware in those phones are ancient. You have no access to modern apps and opening a webpage will crash 90% of the time due to bloated websites maxing out the pitiful RAM in those archaic slabs.

Discovered this game a few days ago and been playing it with no continues. After experimenting a while with all classes, realized that ninja is far and away the best one. Just made it to the 4th area with him.

I tried playing as mage and holy hell he sucks bad. I thought I could spam lightining in the latter half of the game but zombies, skeletons and fucking drakes are immune to magic. And manticores move too fast and hit me before I can cast. Overall it was a pretty embarassing run. After 5 credits and still dying in the castle made me give up.

Not really interested in winning with fighter and priestess so I guess I'm done here

I've beaten it and it's a good game once you get used to the mechanics. Protip: farm lives by scoring points against the undestructible crabs in lvl2.

And if you think that's mazey you haven't played it and/or many games. It's basically just like Megadrive Aladdin and you only need to get to the exit but sometimes there are multipaths.

There is a horrible DOS port. I think it even keeps the NES in the background.

It's the first game I remember playing. My parents rented it. All I could do was run until I fell off the edge. Dad got to level two and I demanded to play. They said I was just gonna run off the edge, but I whined until I got my way then proceeded to run off the edge.

Wasn't there a Japanese one in development? I remember seeing it in gaming magazines and the media were ridiculously high on it because the dev team had figured out to make a massive Tom sprite using Mode 7 that looked incredibly impressive in motion.

I'd disagree with this. The roster is a bit worse and some of the mini-games are janky, but that's more than made up for by better movement and combos, the cast being a lot more diverse, and the story mode being a lot more developed (cutting down on flying around the world for Dragon Balls helps a lot).

Way to out yourself as a retarded tourist predditor, >>>/lgbt/ is that way my good xir.

I give up. I really enjoyed the first KF but this has just been painful all the way. The game lags constantly even when there is nothing going on, the map goes in every direction and all the different textures and motifs are used and re-used randomly which doesn't help get your bearings, the maps they provide barely help. The level design really feels like it was someone's first Doom map from 1994 except x20 in size. I am now lvl 26, have about 4 key items I have no idea what to do with, and I feel like I've been everywhere except for ONE place I remember that ***might*** be where to use some of those key items but I can't even find it anymore. There is no way I can continue unless I cling to a guide.

My question is, are KF3 and Shadow Tower like this too? Lag and messy level design ? KF1 was fine, idk what happened here.

What's hilarious is how broken you are. I've never played dark souls and I haven't even seen more than 30 seconds of footage of it, I've been on this board since the very day it was created and I've beaten more 80s and early 90s RPG than you will in your entire life.

Echo Night is one of my favourite PSX games so I thought I'd check these out, but now it's impossible to talk about these games without faggots like you posting stupid comments to tell yourself you're "more hardcore" and "less zoomie" than the other posters

Is there a non-pozzed alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace for buying old computers and game consoles? Literally everyone is trying to scam you with prices that are 3-5x what the item is worth on these websites.

1 is a 3D experiment for Capcom with a central connected world. If you like exploration and an npc lived in world, you will like it more.

2 is more linear, but it comes off feeling like a more proper "MegaMan, but now its in 3D" feel, especially with its dungeon design. You also are traveling all across the world cause of it. While i appreciate the first, the 2nd game i prefer since it offered me more of the kinda game experience i was hoping for with a jump to 3D for the series.

I see that on the handheld general nobody gives a fuck about this little gem. Just hoarders of devices that rot in dusty drawers. That's reddit-tier shit.
Who has a SF2000 and actually uses it? I have one, and I like to carry it around when I go to work, or I have a day off and stay in my garage to fix something. When I need a break I barely wash my hands and play some good ol' arcade games. I didn't buy the additional controllers and that was a mistake.
Has anybody used multicore for Pico-8 and other cool stuff?

I only liked the first one.

I always feel like I missed out on the corny cutscenes and the what-if mode since I only had the N64 version which cut both of those (the cutscenes were made in a comic book reading style to compensate). The game was fun as a kid, but I remember always wondering why I never got what-if mode despite following what the internet said. And when I first saw anons posting about the cutscenes on here, I wondered what the fuck they were on about.
>>
>>10903548
the first one definitely does. 10/10 90s comicbook aesthetic, might be the best we've ever gotten from a western licensed game, it's not gonna blow your doors off with its gameplay but it's a very respectable variety action adventure platformer. the second game starts to wear out it's welcome a bit though, the charm isn't there and it's more reliant on the basic gameplay that is nothing special.

Time to talk about the fun machine.
Dunno how many played Lode Runner 3D but I have been playing it and its fun even if hard as shit, would recommend if anyone wants to play a lesser known N64 game.
Also been using Neon64 to play some NES games.

So what’s the agreed upon solution for controller pak management? Forever pak? Deleting saves? Are there worthwhile games that take up an obscene amount of memory?

Somehow, I never had a pak as a kid despite owning games like Rayman 2. Looking to get one for use with my everdrive.
>>
>>10901996
i have the performance pak, i get 4 controller paks in one, i think they still sell them but their battery must be dead so better replace them.
afaik Hexen, Snowboard Kids and Mario Kart 64 can use entire controller paks.

It does nothing but Nintendo worked in a permanent psychosis in their fans that it does. Everyone who will retort this will either:
>cope and say that some games required it despite that requirement simply being a built in jumper check to make sure you simply had it installed.
>That having it installed somehow makes the performance better despite it being a physical impossibility due to the fact that it's never going to make the RAMBUS transfer data more efficiently without bottlenecking and actually making the performance worse due to more data having to be shared by a baby cache/insufficient bus lanes.
>That it totally wasn't a cope to buy play time before crashing due to memory leak Rare couldn't fix which is why these paks were shipped with the game they made.
