I use BizHawk which has a higan/bsnes core and it works flawlessly for me. SNES9x still has issues in certain games, like last time I played Super Punch Out it would crash every single time on the Mad Clown fight. Dunno if that was ever fixed

Code Jockey posted:Speaking of retroarch, anyone know how to get shaders working on the ps3? It looks like they've been busted for a while, with some people saying you need to downgrade to some ancient version and drop in some other set of fixed shaders or... something. Is there any way to get them to work on 1.7.6? I tried the ones in that collection and they all worked

Also old computers have parts that die, and while other old computers can be had for cheap, sometimes the parts aren't compatible or the OS install doesn't carry over, and you're spending time on it again. fishmech posted:An old cell phone. fishmech posted:The Wii. Various hacked consoles at that. The problem, though, with hacked game consoles is that you're at the mercy of exploits to be able to hack them. EOLed consoles that aren't getting security updates are probably fine, especially since there's so many vulnerable units in the wild. But that was one of the attractive qualities of the RPi--it's a box you can do whatever with, and you don't have to exploit it to do it.

ExcessBLarg! posted:It's also the consistency. You know that if there's a software distribution that works well on a particular model Pi, you get that model, download the distro, and you're good to go. Lol what the hell is this nonsense. The Raspberry Pi has 7 or so hardware configurations in use so no you can't just get one thing and be sure it'll run and the storage system used frequently corrupts the main boot media, let alone the reliance on providing your own power supplies etc. That's way the gently caress harder than running Windows. The Raspberry Pi is a poo poo platform and despite how much stupid nerds jerk off over it it's not very popular/used on the whole.

Anyone ever have much luck with buys at a smaller gaming cons? There's an arcade expo here this weekend and I'm thinking about seeing what kind stuff the vendors have but I don't want to get ripped off.

While we're on the subject, I have an old Foxconn Nt-3500(AMD E-350 1.6 GHz, 8GB ram) how would that do for an emulation box for 2D stuff? Is there a preferred os for this, or is throwing a Rpi at it the better option? After playing with my Arcade1up I decided not to hack it, and just build my own emulation arcade cabinet.

Deals can be had if you know the prices you're willing to pay for something and dealers can be open to bundle pricing if you buy a bunch from them. If the seller is negs you at every turn, you got a reseller and it's better to just walk away.

I definitely do not know prices for things beyond a gut instinct of them being like 5-10 higher than what they were a few years ago. I mostly buy games from a local shop. Is there a avg price list anywhere or should I just look anything up on eBay while I'm there?

Also, if you're looking at Ebay, look for completed sales.

It should even handle a decent amount of Playstation 1 and N64 stuff as long as you don't start trying to do the fancy graphics mods.

So the RPi is the first time a company (in modern history) said "let's make a cheap, OKish embedded computing board that focuses on things hobbyists care about" and, unsurprisingly, it turns out to be popular among hobbyists. Not sure why you're disputing its popularity--it's at least popular enough for everyone to be discussing it, and it's more popular than similar platforms (Gumstix, BeagleBoard, ODROID, etc.) such that everyone rallied around it.

I saw that the new Mame that came out supports SGI/IRIX, has anyone seen a tutorial on how to set that up and get going? Also I am still happy with my alienware alpha for emulation needs. It doesn't do great with the ps3/wiiu/xbox around 720p but for everything else it's great. But I still tell people to get a snes classic or a pi for their emulation needs, its way less than a pain in the rear end to support when they can't figure poo poo out. As much trouble I have with scripts, duct-tape and other middleware poo poo that I need to get a frontend to work with various emulators, I can't imagine so joe schmoe who wants to play Super Mario World dealing with that crap.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Not defending the actual quality or performance of RPi hardware. I don't think it's complete total poo poo, but it may well be close. That is something they backpedaled into being when their original intent to make a dirt cheap computer that would be widely adopted for teaching computing fell part. It's got a whole host of problems on just about every angle of the original design intent but it was somewhat cheap if you happened to already have all the extra stuff you needed to run it spare, so they pivoted into primarily targeting that hobbyist thing. Also those various boards sell tons and are integrated into all sorts of business-line environments as well as hobbyists using them. ghostinmyshell posted:I saw that the new Mame that came out supports SGI/IRIX, has anyone seen a tutorial on how to set that up and get going?

Child's Play was (aside from giving the finger to a videogame-hating lawyer) the answer to stuff this. They get a decent standardized gaming unit into hospitals now with modern consoles (and even VR rigs) for sick kids, along with training for the pediatricians and nurses handling them.

When I was in hospital for a week with an infection on my heart The flatscreen in the room had all it's inputs locked out, so they brought me in an old CRT with a vcr on a rolling thing like in highschool to play my Xbox 360. Halo Anniversary had just come out so it was as decent a timing for something like that if it had to happen. They said they used to have "a Nintendo" hooked to it, but they haven't had it out of storage in forever. Edit: I was an adult at the time.

fishmech posted:Lol what the hell is this nonsense. Yeah the boot media corruption is a really big issue that keeps me from being able to use it as a "main" system in my setup. The Pi is most useful for simple, single-task machines that operate 24/7, like as glorified sensors and the like.

Detective No. 27 posted:I've been meaning to get one for Pi Hole. Anyone have any experience with that? If you've ever used a bash prompt it's fine. Download Raspbian, boot, fiddle with the OS configurator if you want, punch in the command that downloads and installs it. Once it's running you shouldn't have issues. I wish it had some way of updating from the web UI, but it's a simple task over SSH.

So I thought after a few attempts over the years and bouncing hard off it every time that I'd finally try to get into Wizardry 6 (this is entirely so I can then play Wizardry 7 and 8). And as I'm sitting there wishing there was an easy way to reroll characters as I got a feel for what was "good", I realized I had no idea what the non-generic races and classes in Wizardry actually were. Maybe I would want to use a Fuzzy even though I was going to use a pretty standard party load out. So I go to the manual wondering what party I will build and found that Sir-Tech was prepared to help people as they planned their adventuring party: You have to do your paperwork before you can play the game.
