Taking inspiration from the let's discuss threads here. So. We all know PlayStation, Xbox. All that but what about systems from lesser brands? What do you like, dislike, what interests you?

For me, I've always found micro consoles interesting. Even if they suck in practice. Alps plug and play systems are cool. Was too young for both of those tho

I had thus Lexibook handheld. Imaging a GBA. Just shit. That's what it kinda was, generic games and stuffDied after a few years. I also had the leapster explorer and a leapster2 I got second hand, they were OK as a kid, but the hames are shit in kindsight. The explorer now has life as a crap emulator.

Currently I emulate on handhelds but not sure what that would fall under.

I've been getting into GBA games and wanna try some more shmups, ones. Sorta like invader.

Either original or homebrew, I don't mind :3

So, I've been getting into GBA and want some recommendations. I've been playing advance wars and really like it, anyone know any similar games? (Not fire emblem because permadeath is an annoying mechanic?

And justgoogd GBA games in general

So, I'll start with heteronormativity Is annoying. Like whya re any 2 people of opposite genders evoected to be interested in each other romantically, do cishets not know what friendship is?

To cisnormativity I don't really have that much to say apart from please stop being transphobic

Monogamy normativity also pisses me off to no end. No idea how to write this down but waow, stop having love < s and just do polyamoury in your fiction. The option is right fucking there

The cishets(tm) are strange and confusing, why am I so angry lol

So I just updated eternity and I cannot see any posts. Anyone have a similar issue?

So, I've been playing Pokémon emerald. I beat a gym leader and saved. I rebooted after the save and lost an hour of progress.

I progressed a bit more from that state, saves TWICE and now it reverted to before that.

Is this a ROM issue? Is this an sdcard issue? I'm playing in RA.

Uhh, turns out it was just my dumbass using the wrong card

So, some of the games I try fail to work. The result is it saying there is no lua to load and gives a gray screen, just wondering if this is a core or ROM issue. The game in question is Trial of the sorceror. The menus work but when I start a level the crash occurs

Device in question is a stock ambernic sp in case that changes anything

So, I'll start. I have 3 devices that I'd say are tied for best

First, my n3ds xl. Beautiful handheld, clamshell, just a nice piece of hardware. If the cstick didn't suck itd be the sole winner. My 3ds has served me very well

I also like my rp4 pro, just a great all round emulation machine. And a functional second analog stick, its almost like analog sticks are meant to be sticks and not pencil top erasers

I also like my ambernic sp, got it recently. Looks cool. And clamshell so yippee

As for the worst, I have a few:

Mandatory jab at the switch. Not awful but cmon, the controls suck

The leapster explorer. Shitty dpad. Insane power consumption, it s afun gimmick, jut kinda useless.

Then I had this little system from lexibook, the "compact cyber arcade" or something. Was silver and white, appeared to be 16 bit. Really shit controls. Buttons weren't even labeled. It also just randomly died after about a decade, but I can't fault it for that I guess.

I also hate tiger handhelds with a passion. Like ignoring the awful game, the controls just SUCK I didn't even pay for the one I do have and I still feel scammed

So, I'm trying to add more games to my sp and am wondering how boxart works. Is it the same as retroarch?

So, I want to add my own games to my sp running stock firmware and want to know if its possible to automate boxsrt scraping, o have had luck with the android build of retroarch getting boxart, does the Linux build do this too?

So, I downloaded some carts and want to play them, however I need to convert the PNG files to a .p8 file.

How do I do this?

So, I'm going to install minui to my sp but the readme says that it needs to be installed "over a fresh copy of stock" what does that mean? Where do I find the stock image?
