Ita between the Dreamcast and GameCube for me. Especially all the coloured shells for the DC that look great.

Small shout to the Xbox One S with the vertical stand for looking slick too.

Honestly the first few hours are a bit of a chore but keep going.

This is great news. Death Stranding is in my all time top 10 so highly recommend it to anyone tempted on Xbox.

Gran Turismo 2 Plus

I also like stuff which keeps it mostly true to the original and GT2+ is unofficial patches + cut content added back + some new.

My mistake then. I guess that shows how uninterested in achievements I am...

[–] B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I actually couldn't get on with DR2 and much preferred DR1. For less than £2 it's a bargain so I'm not surprised it has more players now.

100 hours for only 0.1%. I don't particularly like achievements anyway but these ones are just stupid.

Wait... what year is it?

Playing what you had, good or bad, is how it was back then. Everyone has that game which is terrible to most but we love because it's what we had available.

I just want to say that I really enjoy all the drawings you share.

This one is giving me Joanna Dark/Ulala vibes.

I have some great memories of going online with the DC back in the day but haven't done it myself with this new way.

This is how I connected for PSO.

I’ve mostly hunted on Ragol years ago when lately I decided to start over to avoid playing the Ultimate difficulty at level 74 to 75.

How's Gears of War? It's on my wishlist, planning to start Halo MC collection soon, but want to play Gears of Wars games after that.

It holds up very well and GoW2 is one of the games that gets a fps & resolution boost for backwards compatibility so actually looks really good to.

 

I've been playing TLD on & off for around 8 years now and the art style still amazes me.

Introducing the VMU Disc Builder

Derek Pascarella has developed a tool known as the VMU Disc Builder, which simplifies the process of transferring save data to and from Dreamcast VMUs.

Key Features:

  • Ease of Use: The tool is designed for simplicity, allowing users to download necessary save files, burn them to a CD-R, or load them onto their ODE's internal storage, then run it on their VMU.
  • Versatility: It makes the process accessible without requiring special cables or dedicated hardware.

Availability:

The tool is free and available for download: here


As save management becomes more streamlined, it raises questions about broader features. How might this ease of transferring files impact the overall gaming community's approach to managing and backing up their retro game saves? Do you think this tool will lead to increased interest in preserving and engaging with classic games?
