@trezzer@social.linux.pizzaFinished Rogue64 in a single sitting tonight. I could tell early on that this was going to be a good run as I came out of the first couple of levels maxed up on strength, and the potions that dropped were either health or strength-based. Fun times. #c64 #retrogaming
@john@fediverse-rocks.deHeute angekommen.
Ein "älteres" Spiel für die "ältere" Xbox. Ist das schon Retro? 😁

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaThe RetroTINK is now hooked up into the SCART switch along with the capture card on the computer. Switched back over to the JVC TM-H150CG because it's a better CRT than the Sony PVM-2530 and it takes up a bit less space. Still need to arrange the cables a bit, but I think this weekend is gonna be perfect for playing some games.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaOkay, the setup is solid now. SCART into the `gscart` switch which splits the output. One goes to the Sony PVM-2530, the other output goes to the RetroTINK 4K. I tried to get the colors to match somewhat on the CRT, but it's a fool's errand to be honest. However, once work is over it'll be time to progress more in FF6.

@mikejolley@social.linux.pizzaDoing Amiga April again this year https://amiga-month.amigalive.com/event/april26/ Don't think I'll be as competitive this time due to time, but looking forward to trying all the challenges :D
@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaOkay, with all the changes and ill-will towards the old cart: it's time to beat up on some FF6 bad guys!
#retrogaming
@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaHrmm, seems like I need to check a few things out about the PCB as I have somehow lost all of my saves on that cart. However, I also feel like absolute crap which means I'm moving over to the SD2SNES and starting over. I'm thinking about streaming FF6 and just chilling after work because _reasons_.
#retrogaming
@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaCleaning up the office a bit and getting the CRTs in there for their permanent home. The JVC fit perfectly beside the audio rack and everything is hooked up without too much issue. Still waiting on the SCART to BNC breakout for the Sony, but even it's now in the office as well.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaOkay, removed the second MiSTer and made room for the OG Mega Drive/Genesis. Got it hooked up, found the right power adapter and SCART cable, and even cleaned it up a bit. Think I'm done futzing around with the shelf for the time being.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaThe Ninden-Drawer came in so I got it installed, made sure everything was wired up correctly, and did some test fitment of a few cartridges. I like this design more than the previous one, and it looks better which is a nice bonus.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaI may still feel like crap and not have gotten enough sleep due to coughing, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna relax and play some quality* games this weekend. The MiSTer is running perfectly and the PVM is still working like a champ.
* - for various definitions of quality

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaTime to get back to FF6 after dying in a desert near a castle...and forgetting to save which means it's back to Narshe and a lot of ground to cover again.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaSo far, so good. Getting ready to tackle the Phantom Forest in FF6 (about 4.5 hours in) and everything is proceeding smoothly. No issues with SRAM or the EPROM. Also, FF6 is so very, very good...
