I love you. Haha. But seriously, thanks.

I've been looking. Generally a manufacturer will use their own products whenever possible so I would assume it is a Casio. It also might not be to scale. Might be a small Casio portable that looks bigger in the ad than it really is. Very common to have a mini tv in the kitchen during the early 80's. This tv should be 83 or a couple years prior. Appreciate the challenge; too bad there are no high res images of this ad.

I started creating a sizeable collection on Android. Allows me to play anywhere with great performance. I'm finding emu apps outside of Retroarch sometimes cost money, which of course is fair, but I need more time to see how much I'll actually play via smartphone before I commit. The Launchbox app got me real excited; too bad premium members couldn't get a copy. But it's only a few bucks.

I have almost every emulator that runs on my desktop working on Android except Dolphin. I load the core, start a game and it crashes to home screen. I would like to confirm Dolphin settings like hw shared context but don't know how on mobile with an instant crash. As a last resort I can always get standalone Dolphin but would like to keep everything in Retroarch if possible.

Thanks. I understand your point with performance which is why its 8/16 bit only.

I wanted to create a small emu collection on a USB stick that I can take with me and plugin to any computer I'm using at the time. What is the best way, if possible, to install Launchbox, retroarch, and your roms onto a USB stick so you can play anywhere? I assume one would just install everything to the USB drive like any other drive and it should work but I wanted to confirm this with the community in case there are steps I might not consider.

Many games make me angry for a lot of different reasons. Crash Bandicoot Trilogy is indeed frustrating; I could tell it was going to be a long ride from the enhanced difficulty of Papu Papu, the first boss. Vintage Sierra games piss me off with their random copy protection questions from the paper instruction manual. Plumbers Don't Wear Ties for being an unskippable slideshow with censored sideboob. And modern PC games for having so many keys/controls. But I'm old. The milennials are truly gifted gamers

Games with unskippable cutscenes, specially before a hard boss.

I like Playstation style controllers because I was a PSX guy back in the day. I have a 360 but the old lady took the Xbox One when we separated. The wench. Nice to see some more recommendations; thank you all for your input.
-
Thanks everyone. I have a wired Xbox controller currently. No issues. Just trying to unplug for a more comfortable experience. Guess I'm tired of tripping over cords and destroying usb ports that go along with the forcible yank of the cord. Steel Series Stratus Duo is my next consideration.
-
Thanks. There are conflicting reviews as to how well it works as a PC controller but I assume you wouldn't be recommending it if it didn't work via BT on a non PS4. One thing I'm debating amongst myself is getting any controller with batteries. I really don't want batteries. Like my BT headphones I like to plug them in via mini USB and charge between uses. Looks like the DS4 charges via USB and I have several mini cables lying around. I'm gonna pick this up and hope for the best.

Wanted to get some opinions on a good bluetooth game controller for emulation and general game playing. Should have enough controls and buttons for Playstation and Gamecube emulation.
-
My apologies for the subjectivity. I would like to emulate through 32 bit. Affordable = under $100.

Hi everyone, I have a couple beastly desktop systems but am looking to add a new smart tv in a bedroom and want to be able to do internet work, play games, but the wife is going to send me to the guillotine if I build a full desktop to run off of it. I have been looking into the Raspberry Pi and other small form factor options that will allow me to run a PC off the smart tv but am unsure of what it can do, what it will cost, or even where to buy one locally, if possible. I don't like buying things online whenever I have a choice.
My requirements are:
- Need full mouse/keyboard internet functionality.
- Need to be able to run emulators and support a gamepad.
- HDMI port to plug into smart tv.
- Affordable.
I understand Windows compatibility may not be supported although it is preferred. I also understand playing PC games like Fallout 3 likely require a full desktop with GPU, etc. I am just trying to get your feedback to see what exactly these options are capable of. If I have to build another desktop and deal with my wife, so be it. Lol.

I modified the excellent themes "Neon Deluxe Arcade" by Mr. Retrolust and "Rincewind" by Rincewind to get this. Big kudos to them!
The fonts and color scheme are killer. Thanks for sharing.

Update: I got Bonnie to respond so the story continues.

I already selected this. And it works as long as I use MEKA as a standalone emulator. But if I try to launch from Launchbox, it doesn't work. But it really isn't a big deal because all I have to do once MEKA opens is hit the Esc key and the game goes to fullscreen. I'll probably just use Retroarch for most games and select MEKA to run lightgun games. Then just tap escape to switch fullscreen once MEKA loads.

I have kept a watchful eye on the emulation of Red Dead Redemption for a very long time. What started out as non existent turned into frames that would make Plumbers Don't Wear Ties seem like FMV. I have gone back and forth between RPCS3 and Xenia to see who's making more headway and for the first time on the Xenia emulator I made it through the entire intro, saloon, horse ride to the fort, and map exploration with hardly a stutter. The only problem is I can't Bonnie to interact at the MacFarlane ranch in order to proceed with the story. But needless to say, I'm totally stoked. Some of you may already know this, but those who don't can rejoice. It's getting there friends...

I used MEKA for years. Best SMS emulator I ever used. It got lost in the shuffle of 64 bit and Windows 7+ though and it started having issues so I had to look at other options. I just found a new build of it on Github and it runs perfect on Windows 10. Only problem is it won't launch directly to game fullscreen from Launchbox. I have MEKA set to launch fullscreen when a game is launched and even have the cfg edited not to launch the gui but to no avail. I have been testing various fullscreen commandline parameters but they error as invalid. If anyone knows how to get MEKA running with Launchbox (if its possible) I would be very grateful. Hopefully it isn't like Phoenix where it only runs as its own standalone.

I have never seen a bible passage anywhere in this software. And even if there were, there is no separation between church and Launchbox.

I am having trouble getting lightgun controls to work for Genesis Plus. I went into the Retroarch quick menu and looked under user binds and all it gave me was lightgun button and d pad controls. And when I changed them the lightgun games didn't work. Crosshair is enabled under core settings. Normally I use mouse for all lightgun controls but I didn't see this anywhere in Retroarch or Genesis Plus core. Anyone know how to get lightgun games to work in Retroarch using Genesis Plus GX core?
-
I wanted to share the solution to a couple issues I ran into using the Genesis Plus GX core in Retroarch that is certain to irritate us hardcore Sega Master System folks.
#1 - The Sega boot screen is missing. While it certainly is convenient to launch directly into a game, it takes away from the original experience. It also takes away the hidden snail maze game when you press up + buttons 1 & 2 during the boot screen. To do this you will need to find the version 1.3 Europe/USA Sega Master System bios and place it in the Retroarch system folder. However, many of the bios files available are titled with custom text so simply rename the file to "bios_U". (The bios file must have a .sms file extension.) Finally, launch a game and if it still skips the bios screen press F1 to enter Retroarch quick menu, select options, and enable the "system bootrom" option.
#2 - Game sounds and music are completely different from the original. This is an updated FM synthesis option and while it does sound cleaner and is intended to be an upgrade you may wish to hear the original PSG sound. You can toggle this option by pressing F1 to enter the Retroarch quick menu, select options, and change Master System FM to off.
-
My F1 key wasn't working. Mystery solved. Thank you Neil, I found the FM sound option. Much appreciated.

LaunchBox for Android 0.6 Beta Released!
in Android
Posted
Purchased the app. Currently have hand picked Retroarch collection. Not sure how this works yet but I don't want to mess with a second LB installation and there is no way I can export my entire collection across multiple external drives onto my smartphone. Can anyone point me to a tutorial for this app? ETA Prime is my go to for all things tutorial. Think I'll head to his channel and see what he has to say.
