#emulators

Another thing I wanted to share out of the stuff on my Switch:

I've been using emulators since forever, but this is still, by far, the best emulation collection release I have ever seen. The whole interface is amazing. You're comfortably in your room as quiet ambient sounds come in from outside (in day you hear cars quietly passing by and birds) with game posters on the walls and such and a shelf full of Genesis/Megadrive games that it actually puts IN a console shown on screen, then it plays on a TV on screen. (It can be set to load games directly in fullscreen which I recommend, but it was neater to show it merely zooming in on the virtual TV for the clip.)

Bashing my head against a wall cuz of people who don't understand how the #NintendoDS backwards compatibility works between older DS models and the newer ones that don't have a #GBA slot, but act like they do

The #DSi got rid of the GBA hardware along with the GBA slot. The DSi hacks are #emulators

@cstross Wow! This is a great example of the power of virtual platforms, , and also disciplined state control in a programming language. The fact that you can run this inside a is also instructive — yet another attack vector.
Also, I’ll bet there are many packages out there to do cross-compilation from -V to other machines. Remind me never to use Adobe Acrobat.

TBH the emulator-to-porter quality ratio is a tried and true method of seeing how badly a company can mess up in #porting a #game.

#Emulators try to recreate the conditions of original systems, like old #gaming consoles. That means it requires extra processing, sometimes much more processing just to recreate the same conditions.

But in modern times emulators have been putting #vendors to shame. The #RPCS3 emualtor is one example of it, and #ShadPS4 is another.

Killed Lazarus, and I'm at the end - exactly 30 days after starting my run as Alathra the rogue! I like to take it fairly slow, and I have. Now for the big demon himself. I suspect I won't have too much trouble - Lazarus is usually tougher and he was pretty much a breeze. Rogue arrows ftw! Find or buy a good bow!

Down in level 13 (and Alathra is now level 20). Was thankfully able to skip a lot of level 11, as those damn demons there kept surrounding me and killing me- but the succubi and other demons aren't too bad now since I found this BADASS bow that adds 101% damage. Almost breezing through level 13. Only a couple more to go!

Lots of decapitated bodies down here.

Alathra's now level 16 and I'm starting in on floor 9, which is of course where that difficulty ramps up! However, I just went back to kill the Butcher and now I'm gonna take out Leoric. The Butcher was SO easy to take out with a level 16 rogue 🤣 I figure Leoric will be too. Diablo tip - wait to kill these two til later, when you're stronger! 🔥

Moved the hacked PS1 mini (it has like 80+ games on it now thanks to Autobleem, the most important of them being Diablo) to the living room to start up a new Diablo run. I beat it two years ago in September and I started my run(s) in August 2021. Something about August and fall, I guess. Last time, I tried a sorcerer but struggled til I switched to fighter, which I beat it with. This time, I'm trying a rogue. Never tried rogue before. Should be wild. Time for tons of saving and leaving all my gear on the ground in town! 🤣
