The kiddo and I beat SM64 together today ☺️

Broke: play an old game super conveniently at great quality on an official emulator with save states, cloud data storage, and a great UI Woke: take weeks to mod an old console, spend tons of money on scalers and Bluetooth controllers to get roughly the same result but it’s .0001% more pixelated

Just one screenshot in different sizes for #ScanlineSunday - Mario Kart 64 with console-wide AND game-specific deblur enabled, with RT6X PVM20L5 emulated scanlines. One day I'll figure out how to not have Bluesky utterly crush the quality...but today is not that day. #SuperMario #N64

It is done. After hours of troubleshooting audio, video, and everything in between… Pixels. Many pixels. #nintendo #retrogaming #supermario

I’m determined to get this fixed this weekend

The remote is for true sickos. Compared to the original 5X’s remote:

The RetroTINK 5X Pro’s original remote. A Roku remote lookalike, it offers 12 commands in a highly compact form factor.

The RetroTINK 6X CE remote, an absolute beast with dozens of commands and inputs on an irreverent large form factor

Traded in the RetroTINK 5X Pro for the new model. Covered the cost and then some - genuinely insane value. Going to take so many captures on this thing.

A few years ago, I played the entirety of Persona 4 Golden on Xbox Cloud. Let’s just say it took a little longer than 15 hours a month.

Cleaned up my pins, but uh, this does not look right. I may have bridged something somewhere.

It is finally time. This N64 WILL output like an emulator if it’s the last thing I do! (Sorry for the horrendous soldering, I remain a novice at this)

Sometimes I imagine myself as a Peter Parker, but I think I’m probably more of a Mr. Aziz

Hell yeah this is the first scene I captured when I was setting up my OG Xbox. Unparalleled vibes.

The fact that this loser dweeb is comfortable going on camera talking about his little hobby in between financing war crimes is truly a testament to how weak gamers are as a species

Never watched a Satoshi Kon film. Time to remedy that today!

Now reading: Eversion - Alastair Reynolds Mixed feelings thus far but it’s refreshing to indulge in sci-fi pulp after years of critical theory and religious studies 😵‍💫

Metroid: Zero Mission was so good. I never finished the original, so it was incredible to finally see the ending and postgame mission. The NES game unlocking at the end was also a lovely surprise.

I do feel moderately powerful after successfully stuffing a RX 9070 and 7600X3D into this thing.

Finally going to give this Spider-Noir thing a shot

Bit of a gloomy day today. Spending some time backing up Game Boy cartridges. Some of the saves are from when I was a kid, including an original Game & Watch Gallery 3 save! Real glad I got the GB Operator.

It’s not particularly hi-fi or anything but it’s been a fun time using this thing lately

Learned there is a community demake (port?) of Balatro for GBA. Had to try it for myself. It is surprisingly feature-filled, at least enough to be a replacement of the original for a casual player. I can’t wait until more features are added!
