If you do the Gameboy player. Get a flippy drive and you can use homebrew for it.

I think it runs, not sure how to setup though

What I miss about this era of portable gaming was that it was:

1. Portable

2. Fun, pocket games had a different design ethos around it. Longer play sessions were allowed since you can play it everywhere. But it never made you feel like you couldn’t put it down since you might have to drop what you were doing to make your next connection. It’s why I think Pokemon has been so successful. Outside of the elite 4, you could pause at any time and moment with no penalties in your game.

My recommendations for unique games for those who want them.

Pixel Junk Monsters - Tower Defence

The Sims 2 - Seriously a fun adventure game in the theme of the Sims.

Patapon 1 or 2 - Rythem adventure game

EveryDay Shooter - Twin stick shooter

No I replied on an app. I think there’s a bug which doubles post reply’s.

Steam Remoteplay together and RetroArch are the only other option which I found usable and works with Duckstation (swanstation) and PCSX2. I remember on Windows there was a way to high jack the executable to play more than what steams offers and it worked, but that was back in 2022.

Otherwise yeah parsec is probably the only other option.

Ah found my video where I documented it back in 2022: https://youtu.be/P3J23OlNMXE

Yes RetroArch on steam.

Yes RetroArch on steam.

USB -> Anything requires adapters/drivers/dedicated hardware. Composite is a dead format so you’ll be hard pressed to find one, let alone find one which works. VGA is a least a video standard supported by almost all video chips (why I recommended it).

The only PC made in this century which supports composite natively, is the Raspberry Pi.

Your issue is that you are converting digital to analog so latency will be added regardless.

Perhaps looking into VGA, lots of USB C to VGA adapters, and VGA to Composite adapters. May get you closer (or more reliable results).

Another solution is VGA monitors.

I don’t care for the medium, I just want to watch my shows. In Canada we get basically the same shows as the US, but many are not available for streaming. So I want to watch Danny Phantom for example, I can’t. It’s not on any channel not streaming services.

And the same goes for dozens of other shows ranging from obscure like Martin Mystery to the ultra popular like The Fairly Odd Parents.

Heck even Disney doesn’t have everything.

DVD does and it cost less than most of these services.

Those have been the more reliable components on mine 🥲

Virtual Boys are sadly fragile systems. Specifically the displays. They are glued down and the adhesive is corrosive and failing to hold up. Getting mine repaired soon.

No flux and my only solder tip was 3x the width of the pin and probably not hot enough.

The only joints which matter is on the back the other are for stabilizing it. I went over to ensure there was enough solder and reflowed then for what I hoped to be a good connection.

It was after I lost the second row of pins to the floor the second time that I almost threw in the towel.

I’ve grown to respect micro solderers more after this.

It’s just another “retro” Linux handheld with Pirated games. The article didn’t mention it, but this one is meant for those vertical arcade shooters so it has a second d-pad rather than an analog stick.

Nothing that hasn’t been seen before.

Zorin pro was the main reason I never stuck with Zorin OS however while they heavily advertise that the price is for the software. I think the real cost comes with “installation support”.

For many first time users, having support help with an install is a necessity and they will pay for it. See Geek Squad as an excellent example.

Plus having a preconfigured Linux experience is good for these users.
