Back in the days when it was first released, I'm sure I read that it should be pronounced "Susie". That's the way I've always said it.

It's debatable whether the Wii U should be considered to be part of "retro gaming". It's my most up-to-date console. Nevertheless, I think it's worth getting this info out there.

I would suggest that it's easier to download carts from https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?cat=7&sub=2

https://onionui.github.io/docs/emulators/pico-8 says pretty much everything else I would say. It's also worth noting that you can rename .p8 files to .png and they'll work the same. The advantage is that the .png file also functions as cover-art.

The default configuration of OnionOS uses the fake08core for PIC0-8 games. Its compatibility is good but not perfect. I believe it's possible to set-up the paid-for, official PICO-8 runtime, but I've never done it so I have no notes.

I agree. It is absolutely crazy to think that the Miyoo Mini can handle the DS. In other good news, with ArkOS installed, your RG351V can also play DS games; other custom firmwares may also be able to do so but I haven't tried with them.

I've spoken to Miyoo about this device. They say that it will be released in November and will be available both from AliExpress and third-party retailers (IOW, you'll find it on Amazon). I asked for specifications but none were forthcoming.

Miyoo have a long history of being optimistic with release dates so take "November" with a pinch of salt.

Well, I think you would be fine going blind as...

Sounds as if it may be worth giving a try sometime.

I do both, usually I re play old classics when I don’t want to think too much or I only have too little time to play to not being able to process stuff 😅

Have you also had been able to play some games that you always wanted to as a child, but couldn't, for whatever reason?

I hear a lot said about the Dragon Ball games, but I've never actually played one myself. Would someone unfamiliar with the mangas get a lot out of them?

I'm always curious about how people use their retro-gaming devices. Do you stick with games from your past, or have you found some previously unknown gems? For instance, I love the fact that I can replay the Metroid games, up to Fusion on the GBA, but I've also discovered that I thoroughly enjoy 1942 (Arcade) and its sequels.

It's amazing to be able to carry around a huge catalogue of retro games in such a convenient form-factor.

What are you playing while on your trip?

It's interesting to hear that the GammaOS developer has got his hands on one.

Koriki or Batocera but, yes, it won't run on GarlicOS until there's a release with GPU support.

I was disappointed to see the Koriki PS1 performance. Curious that it can play (some) N64 but has issues with most PS1 games.

It's interesting that they've added the active cooling here. Presumably, the metal shell of the RG405M provided enough of a heat-sink on its own. It also means that GammaOS will require additional porting work - I'd been hoping it would work out of the box.

Great questions, HexagonSun.

Arcade

There are a few things to check here.

1. Your ROMs should be in the Roms\ARCADE folder on the SD card
2. the ROMs should be in the .zip file format
3. the file Emu\ARCADE\config.json should look like the following:

{
	"label":	"Arcade",
	"icon":	"/mnt/SDCARD/Icons/Default/arcade.png",
	"launch":	"launch.sh",
	"rompath":	"../../Roms/ARCADE",
	"imgpath":	"../../Roms/ARCADE/Imgs",
	"gamelist":	"../../Roms/ARCADE/miyoogamelist.xml",
	"useswap":	1,
	"shortname":	1,
	"hidebios":	1,
	"extlist":	"zip"
}

1. there should be a file in the ARCADE folder called miyoogamelist.xml; this should contain XML entries for every ROM in the folder; the file names in this file should match the ROM files in the ARCADE folder (such as outrun.zip).

Cores

Most of the time, it's better to stick with the default core, but there are a couple of options for choosing a different one.

1. Enable the Expert tab (Apps -> Tweaks -> User Interface -> Show expert mode): with Genesis Plus installed, Mega Drive/Genesis games will show up in the Expert section as playable with that core
2. use Game List Options (GLO): in the standard game list, bring up GLO by pressing Y, and choose a different core; this will only affect the highlighted game and is useful when there are a few games that don't perform as well with the default core.

Did you buy the BetterButtons or 3D print them?

I also remember the joy(!) of trying to work out which CD-ROM to insert for the package I wanted to install. Mostly trial and error.

Lets see. Debian since 1997... so 26 years. Back then you had to order 12 CDs through the post.
