    Steam Deck (using SteamOS) handheld by Valve

    I'd read this thread before, and forgot to come back to it afterwards. I received my (512GB) Steam Deck in the first week of April, and played it almost daily for the first few weeks. I still play it regularly now, though not daily, as my work has picked up. I love the device! It makes it more...

    NeoGeo Mini

    If I was into Neo Geo games more (and didn't wanna go through emulation), I would probably play them on the Nintendo Switch. Have you seen how many games are on there (and other consoles, to be fair)? :o I've been tempted by Garou/KoF, Samurai Shodown, and Metal Slug games...

    E3 2017

    Lol, they literally said you can pop in an OG disc and play it, during their conference :P And it already plays 360 discs (I've done so before). The only caveat is that the game needs to be on the compatibility list, since they need to work on each game individually to make it playable. This...

    The Retro/Vintage Electronic-Toy Thread

    Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about this gem too! I remember spending so much time on Tomy's Desert Race (part of the Pocket Arcade series), trying to be as perfect as I could. It wasn't digital as far as I recall, completely mechanical and required winding up the dial in the top right to...

    The Retro/Vintage Electronic-Toy Thread

    OMG the nostalgia! I used to have that Caveman game too, posted by Lolla. I also had the Aladdin game posted by Wally (my sister had the Beauty and the Beast one). And I had this Konami Star Trek game:

    free PC games (steam)

    I don't know what the etiquette is here, regarding getting more than one game. If I can, I'll take it. But if I can't, that's cool :)

    Commodore PET - Android Smartphone

    When you say Commodore are releasing a smartphone, I think it would be prudent to mention that this isn't the same Commodore from back in the day, but rather a couple of guys who bought the rights to the name.

    R.I.P. Iwata-sachou of Nintendo

    Ah ok. I wasn't sure, as I've only done one year of beginner's Japanese as an extra module at uni. Getting back to the topic, Iwata's death hit me harder than I thought it would. Yes, tears were shed. He just seemed like such a genuinely nice person, through both his actions and disposition.

    R.I.P. Iwata-sachou of Nintendo

    Do you mean shachou? Or does sachou also mean the same thing?

    Retro VGS indiegogo campaign. (changed title)

    So does this console look good to you guys? As an 80s/90s gamer, I'm cautiously optimistic about it, but I don't know much about hardware and the feasibility of the project. I really want it to succeed, but is it just a 'pie in the sky' dream? They recently launched an official website, which...

    Final Logo Poll

    I'm voting for number 2. I'm assuming that these logos will have the word Pyra written underneath them. I'm also assuming the first logo's 'dp' stands for 'Dragonbox Pyra'. That would render logo 1, with font underneath, as 'dp PYRA' or 'dragonbox pyra PYRA'. If anything, logo 1 should be 'db'...

    Hack (open source, refined version of PHP, by Facebook)

    What do you guys think of this? It was released 2 days ago. Supposed to be a faster executed form of PHP, with static typing and other features borrowed from other programming languages. http://hacklang.org/...

    Release PCSX ReARMed, with a new GPU

    This emulator is so good! I just got my Pandora yesterday and have only tried 3 games, Dino Crisis, Bloody Roar II and Chrono Cross, but they all work! :D Quick question, though. While the other two games run perfectly, in Chrono Cross, some of the models in the FMVs, when against a bright...

    It... looks so beautiful. :wub: Thanks for the update! Seeing this was a very nice birthday surprise for me. First one today. :D

    Action button labels

    What about:     Z   Y  C X  B   A But having the Pandora layout as small-print labels to the side of the buttons that differ? Or perhaps small print on the buttons themselves, if there is enough room, leaving the side label areas free for 'PgUp', 'PgDn', etc.

    Action button labels

    Another suggestion that I just thought about (which may have previously been mentioned by someone else), is the following letters and colours: [G][P][O] [R][Y][B] As some probably realise, it's based on primary and secondary colours. The layout of the colours themselves is chosen based on the...

    Action button labels

    You could say "Press D6", in order to avoid confusion with the regular numbers. Even with two characters per button, it would still be easier to type than copying and pasting Greek symbols or card suits. And if you had more than one button-press in succession, it could be referred to as, for...

    SoC Poll - What's most important for you?

    I want the Pyra to be like the Pandora, but more powerful. That's why my votes were: Power/CPU - Balanced Open/Closed source - Balanced ARM/x86 - ARM Preference - Power/CPU I have a handheld x86 device already (Sony Vaio UX1XN), and I've found it underwhelming in the gaming department. The...
