Nintendo - Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Castlevania Dominus Collec...
Last post by CreepinDeth - August 28, 2024, 04:32:27 PMI'm so happy this is real now. I like the way they setup the DS screens across a 16:9 monitor. That was one of the things that kept me from emulating these on PC. I've never really played any of these since they became expensive in the second hand market.
I'm hoping Symphony of the Night is next.

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: The Linux Topic
Last post by CreepinDeth - August 28, 2024, 04:30:26 PMThread resurrection time!
I've been using Zorin 16 for the past couple of years now. It's been a pleasurable experience and have not felt any need to jump back to a Windows machine for daily general use.
However, I'm planning on jumping over to Fedora. I don't need to be bleeding edge but I do occasionally update hardware whenever there is a good sale so I would like to have a distro that eventually gets support for it within a few months and not years. There's also some gaming software that I would like to use (eg. MangoHUD) that doesn't seem to play well with Ubuntu based distros.
@BLUEVOODU Are you still using Fedora at all? Any tips or things to think about before I make the plunge?

Nintendo - Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Castlevania Dominus Collection
Last post by Grindspine - August 28, 2024, 04:01:52 PMHow did I miss that Nintendo is FINALLY moving these DS games to a full console version?
I have all three on DS/DS lite/3DS already, but have really found handheld gaming is less of my thing and have always wanted to play these on an actual console setup. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin has been one of my favorites for a while. It looks like it'll be available on Switch and Steam for PC users.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - August 27, 2024, 08:37:33 PM@retro junkie oh man... I still have my Wii. But the new tv doesn't have the proper connections and I haven't bother to try to figure it out. However, if that died, I'd potentially lose TG16 games that I bought on the eshop waaayyy back in the day. I also bought Neo Geo games back on the eshop... Genesis / Megadrive... and more.
Those were pretty cool days IMO

A Winner Is You / Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 PS4...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - August 27, 2024, 08:32:27 PMHoly cow this one took at least few years on and off. However, we finally 100% Completed / Platinum Trophied Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 for the PS4.
This game is extensive. We did not finish all the DLC trophies but have many of them... and plan to complete them at some point.
This was a major effort. Woot woot!

Last post by retro junkie - August 21, 2024, 03:15:41 PMBUMP!
This is a bit of an update. The screen went black again shortly after the last fix. Fixed it with the same method as above. It got me to thinking as to probable cause. I turned off everything connected to any screen "sleep mode." I have had no issues since. I am thinking that there is either a bug in software, or, more likely, a conflict between Linux and the Asus hardware. Maybe?
The screen does cut off when you fold the laptop. It will not, with it just sitting there, and, you have walked off to do something.
Of course it does have a slight impact on the battery life, charge may not last as long as before. But no issues, so far.

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Re: A Blast From The Past, Blu...
Last post by retro junkie - August 14, 2024, 10:01:51 AM@BLUEVOODU it still had that "eshop music." The only other thing that it had to download was the transfer app to use between the Wii and the Wii-U. I was surprised that there was anything to connect with at all. I expected a 404, or a "check your internet connection" type message.
@Grindspine I am thinking that this is the saddest part of the modern consoles that has internet access as a part of the gaming experience. When you have a console die on you and want to continue using one. You, as in my case, go out, and find, purchase, and find that there is info lost. I had a Wii die on me. I never thought about it until after the fact. Not sure what I even had on that old one, game saves, game downloads. I do have a 3DS with game downloads which I treasure. I always liked independent publishers on the e-shop, good games.
