I like to modify and repair retro consoles and handhelds, so I have a pretty large collection in various states of repair: GameBoys DMG/Pocket/Color, DS Lites, NESs, SNESs, GameCubes, N64s, a Dreamcast (what I currently have hooked up to my big workshop crt), PS1s, PS2s, a PS3 that I think is beyond repair, a few perfect condition Xbox 360s...I think that's it.

In emulation, aside from on my PCs, I have a couple of modded PSPs and a Vita, though I really only use the Vita since I got that.

Yeah. I have a few emulators on my devices and a hacked wii u, and a ps3 with hfw.

Wii u gamepad broke but i had wii u, wii, gamecube, ps1, n64, and retroarch emulators.

My ps3 is somewhere but i got it loaded with games and even had fallout 3 with mods working on it

Havent been playing much on emualtors. But i keep trying different ones. I have retroarch, citra, and dolphin on my phone and i samus returns, wind waker randomizer, and fe: path of radiance.

But for the most part ive just been playing elden ring

My powkiddy v90 was a godsend those dead Sunday nights. I played mostly Tetris games, though I finished some RPGs on it. Not that strong, especially with a couple of SNES (Mario kart being one) running more than sluggish. I can't complain, it's a nice device for real cheap

Heck yea, I am a retro enthusiast. I currently have a PiBoy DMG running emulation staion and a customized version of Raspberry Pi OS w/ joycon and buttons mapped to a mouse emulation - its a nice form factor for having a portable Linux-box in the field... I still get looks when I whip out a 'gameboy' to do some actual work. :P

I stick to mostly 8bit and 16bit platforms, so the Pi 4 is more than enough for me...

I also have a few retro computer setups; of course, a C=128 for all my Commodore needs - an Apple g4 basketball w/ MacOS 9 - an antique Philco Predicta television that runs both some Python script for random vintage videos, and can serve up PONG - I retrofitted an old PONG controller w/ a Pi Pico so it feels right.

I have a couple other machines that bring me back to the 486 MS-DOS days. :P

Nice to know theres other folks that are into this hobby - cheers!

Currently putting together a bartop arcade for emulation. Planning to use one of the Sffpc lenovo's I have laying around running batocera. Using secondary hookups that I can pull out and hook up my steam deck as well. Mostly playing galaga.

Still one of my favorite games by far. I was planning to buy a bartop kit but decided to travel back home and spend some time with my Dad. I think it'll be a good weekend project for us to work on together.

Been using my PS Vita as my portable emulation machine for a while now. Super easy to mod with the added bonus of being able to play Vita games.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I always recommend to anyone who wants a handheld to go for a Vita, even if you don't emulate anything other than PSP and PS1 that gives you access to thousands and thousands of games. Add onto that the fact it's past end of life, it's nearly a moral responsibility to mod it.

That said I also have a modded 3ds. I have modded my ps1, ps2 and ps3. I've modded my OG XBOX and 360.

All aboard the mod train....CHOO CHOOOOOOOO!

[–] rubii@lm.inu.is 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh for sure! Gotta remember to play the games as well after all that modding lol

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Lmfao! Too true, Vita is my daily driver, I get probably 15hrs a week of gaming time on it.

I've been playing a lot on this Miyoo Mini Plus recently. Tiny, but surprisingly easy to play, and great for picking up for quick gaming sessions. With OnionOS, and its Game Switcher, you can be in and gaming in seconds.

So far, I've played through GBA Circle of the Moon and Aria of Sorrow on it. Great games!

I have 2 retro handhelds, the Ambernic RG351V (in the faux-woodgrain, obviously), and a Miyoo Mini+. Most of the time I prefer the Miyoo Mini, because it's smaller and more portable. However, I think the aftermarket OS options for the 351V are more mature.

Currently I've been working my way through Earthbound. I've never played it before and I can see why people like it so much. It has such character!

Got my trusty N3DS with CFW. Finished Shin Megami Tensei IV not too long ago, gonna go through it again before I start SMT IV: Apocalypse.

[–] 304@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

So good! The 3DS theme has a chiptune version playing.
