The Cavern Of Cobol is an active place at the Something Awful forums, I’ve found it a great resource.

This is the situation that the video game history foundation made their famous study, to have as ammunition for their debate in favor for libraries and research and historians. What a sad ending, I hope they find another way in the future.

Never heard of it, but wild to hear about how much work must have gone into this to not be released 😱

RPGshrines is one I’ve used, I like this one for Aria of Sorrow here https://shrines.rpgclassics.com/gba/cvaos/walkthrough.shtml

Scala is the the first I used and I like it a lot. If I had more time I’d love to give ocaml a decent try but I don’t think I can get into it these days.

I know wizzardy is a big foundational game from the beginning, but I’ve never played them and they sounded very grindy. I’m curious about a mobile game, but I will wait for reviews.

I’ve been meaning to play the original, I’m a big fan of disgaea.

Do emulators support fx-3?

Thanks, this is helpful. Got any links to the Japanese review you read? Sounds way more useful than retrododo.com article.

Does anyone know what the AI actually does?

I’m assuming it’s based on image recognition like the Shinden gun. It’s a branch of AI different from the LLM systems that power things like ChatGPT.

Honestly, the fact that the article writer is shilling an AI product without actually explaining what the AI does is kinda making me doubt their journalistic integrity.

Ha ha hell yes, retro dodo is garbage, they are a site that posts whatever silly thoughts they happen to have about old video games. This kind of announcement about upcoming release is about the best they are good for, and you still have to read through the filler to see that they don’t know anything more than the Japanese Twitter post that actually announces the thing.

You think it won’t work? Because it is “AI”?

Shinden also works on image recognition, so this sounds fine, but I need to read more. Light gun games were some of my favorite in the Arcades, I’ll buy this or something like it.

it requires removing parts from an original Super Game Boy cartridge and attaching them to the new board.

I am in awe of the deep technical knowledge in the retro community. I just emulate things and am satisfied. Some take it to new heights, seemingly just because they can.

I remember playing around with this, never went deep with it but appreciate the project. I really wish more languages had alternative syntax options like this. I’ll give Hy another shot this weekend.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Nuon. That’s cool as hell and retro as hell to put a Net Yaroze game on it, wow!

Raiden 2 was my most played shmup in the local arcade for me, the rest in thy series never drew me in the same way.

I like roguelike games, I’ll check this out when I can. What platforms does it run on?

I have a 4 Pro right now and like it a lot. A bigger screen is exactly what I wanted to see in the next version, so I’m happy with the announcement. I don’t plan to buy unless my 4 Pro breaks or something. Hope they keep to a good price.

I’m expecting it to be more powerful than RP4P.

I’m not a modder but I think it’s cool people can do this kind of stuff 🎉
