I picked up a boxed Flashback 8 at the local fleamarket for around $20. This is my first time playing Atari, although I'm vaguely familiar with many of the games. I played Adventure last night and beat the first easy quest. I like many of the things it introduces like the fog of war. Cleverly done o...

Recently moved back to Europe. unfortunately forgot to bring the AC adaptor I had previously acquired in this thread. I bought a new one, similar to the last, the only difference being that it had those 2 pin stick on connectors for different sizes of connector. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to do a...

Had an urge to play an old-school RPG, so I went with the SNES version of Final Fantasy IV (Final Fantasy II). Started last Saturday, and I just made my first run through the Tower of Babil, where I lost Yang. I might do a run through this version first in preparation for my Wonderswan run (or mayb...

I finally got a front-lit wonderswan so I'm replaying Final Fantasy 1, navigating menus from memory based on familiarity with the GBA port. If I beat this it will be the first time I've beaten an entirely Japanese language RPG (although the Lich is currently killing both my party and spirit!). I ha...

Does Cannon Fodder on the Gameboy Color count?

Getting absorbed into Chrono Trigger...a game I only took faltering steps into on the VC years ago. It seems to work great on the SNES classic. I have noticed that in the polluted future level when Marle does her tech the mist briefly disappears. I'm not sure if it was like that in the original game...

If anyone is looking for a challenging single screen platformer for a handheld then I would recommend the GBA port of Manic Miner (the predecessor to Jet Set Willy and a true single screen affair rather than a flip screen exploration game). It even has a password system to make it slightly more mana...

Well my caution lasted barely 48 hours. My partner installed it on her tablet and we hacked it successfully with that. I think the problem was my ancient Windows 7 laptop and possibly not using the cable that came with the Classic the first time around. it was still way slower than the Youtube guide...

I would note that there is now a hakchi Easy Installer. It is supposed to put together the newest hakchi 2 Community Edition for install. I plan on giving it a go at some point. m The way you'll know if you dumped your kernel correctly is if you have a "dump" folder in your hakchi folder....
