@yassie_j and I wouldn't want it to be any other way

@Gammitin I've used UNISOUND for pnp ISA cards but never heard of this oddly enough. I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks!

Just awaiting a new DVD drive for my ThinkPad T42, but in the meantime, I've made a slim USB drive with Freedos:
- USB storage and bootable
- OPL3 Adlib and Soundblaster Pro
- USB Mouse support.
With this extended battery, I have hours of dos gaming fun on the go.

@Gammitin would love to know how you got the audio stuff working. I have a T42 that I use for Win98 but having a pure DOS environment would be nice to have as well.

@JakobFel my interests started with a YouTube Channel named Famicom Dojo. They're a small but still active YouTube channel/podcast that's all about retro video games, but more specifically the Famicom ofc. Highly recommend checking out Sean and Vinnk over there on the channel. My favorite video from them is on the Famicom Disk System

@JakobFel I used to be in a discord server that introduced me to a bunch of Japanese retro gaming stuff and GameCenter CX was one of the shows we used to watch back during the pandemic. Definitely helped with passing time.

Watching Game Center CX subbed on the archive. I forgot how good this Japanese show is. If you've never heard of it, it's a show about a man named Arino who, every episode, tries to beat a retro video game. Early on it's Famicom games but as the series goes on, other platforms are explored. Some episodes also showcase a Game Center (arcade) or have interviews with various Japanese folk in the retro gaming scene.

@Oregon_Pacifist awesome! love it

@Oregon_Pacifist either the mario paint cursor or a katana I feel would be appropriate for the instance lol

if you mean where did I see the custom cursor though, I saw it here: pagan.plus (I think theirs is a ouija board)

I just went to another mastodon instance and apparently that one had a custom mouse cursor. Would be cool to have one here at retro-gaiden lol

@Oregon_Pacifist That's what I thought when I saw it 10 or so years ago on the internet. I have yet to see it show up on ebay, let alone find much info on it

imagine being cracked at DOOM or UT '04 with this controller

If anyone had a lead to where I can get the AlphaGrip Ergonomic keyboard, that would be awesome. I have been looking for one for years just because of how strange it is and how funny I think it'd be to master the controller for games

@clipart lopoks like an image of someone mooning

@Oregon_Pacifist Both! Got my last pair in 2021, broke them in 2022, and hadn't worn glasses for 3 years. Eyesight changed just enough within those few years to new a new prescription with a new set of frames

New glasses!

@lowqualityfacts great game!

@rootcompute I had a PSP-1000 but I can't seem to find it so I might've sold it sadly. I softmodded it years ago to play FFVII on the go long before the Switch and Steam Deck existed.

I kinda want to build a cabinet in the same style as those cabinets. It'd be expensive but it'd make for a really cool MAME setup

went to my local anime convention this weekend and saw candy cabs in the game room. Specifically 3 Sega Blast City cabinets (Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge, Puyo Puyo II, and Sonic The Fighters) and a Sega New Versus City cabinet (Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike).
