… wait, the Gamecubes are just used for GBA I/O? Sheesh.

I remain flabbergasted there’s no simpler way to get ten buttons of input and 240p of output on a generic 32-bit ARM device with a zillion official and unofficial add-ons. Especially when you look at the unholy chain of adapters necessary for input.

Especially once you swap the console playing the game for an early-model Wii, which has been hacked to hell and back, and has Gamecube, Bluetooth, and technically USB inputs.

It is nonetheless an absolute mountain of hardware to modernize a setup that could nearly fit in the pocket of period blue jeans.

You could probably do it way more simply with emulation, but it seems the point of this technical exercise was to do it all with original hardware (which is pretty cool)

Absolutely loved playing the OG Crystal Chronicles with three friends and was very, very excited when a remake got announced. I mean, it’s so easy now that everyone is playing on their own Switch, right? Imagine fucking up the concept and spirit of the game so hard with the remake.

These guys fucking get it. Buiilding the hypercube is absolutely Chad behaviour.

And what still blows my mind is that the game supports cross save, but shared campaign progression is where we draw the line?

God forbid a game about sharing an adventure with your friends in a traveling caravan actually allows you to share an adventure and be a part of the caravan.

Wow that’s quite the achievement. I wonder if the emulation community has an easier way of running this without all the adapters.

Dolphin now includes mGBA as a sort of controller. The wiki has a note about network settings but is otherwise full-steam-ahead.

Visual Boy Advance supports netplay IIRC

Reminds me of the TRG playthrough of Four Swords Adventures

This is super cool

They did it using only the power of four friends combined.

The rarest of powers. It is said that it is something only achievable by the youngs that were not yet corrupted by the world. And still it is a challenge to wield this power more than once or twice as an adult.

It must be pure. I was hoping someone would respond with a human-centipede joke.

I was absolutely expecting this to be satire.

It’s a shame that the remake of this game removed some of the best aspects of it.

Sanctus, rok temu

Its more than a shame, it ruined the replay value completely AND I can’t play it with my kids to get them into it without buying a switch for each.

eddanja, rok temu

Yeah I tried to play it with my girlfriend on the same switch, swearing it was multi-player but, no.

Never could break into EVE but I guess it’s never too late.

Heck yeah! I’m in Dreddit, the founding corp in TEST Alliance, and we have a mentorship program, free ships/skillbooks/etc program, and a no-nonsense help channel. It’s a great place to learn how to play or re-learn after a hiatus. We’re in Soverign Null Security Space, which is where all those big EVE stories come from.

For a solid moment I thought this was a bot comment advertising something XP

Not a bot, but I suppose I AM advertising! Recruiting is one of my “space jobs”.

Finally now all the people that QQ on the forums will be gone. Have your pve mode in a game that was made pvp first.

I hope this doesn’t make it so all the friendly people just play solo and online is nothing but pvpers ☹️

WTF? These old games are cheap enough that I don’t see the allure of the tiny library of this subscription service.

Omegamanthethird, rok temu

It seems more like a trial for those that are already subscribed.

I’m not paying for anything that rotates. These games are long, there is no need to for this.

Since Eve is a game for people who find Excel spreadsheets and numbers fun, what kind of FPS is this gonna be?

clay_pidgin, rok temu

At EVE FanFest in Iceland today, they were talking for a bit about the new Excel plugin. It’s supposed to make it easier for people to make their crazy market spreadsheets by hitting the API from within Excel.

That said, I don’t use spreadsheets, and I don’t think most players do. Unless you choose to go hard on market manipulation or something, it’s not necessary.

Naz, rok temu

First you make an Excel spreadsheet

Then you benchmark every weapon and attachment in the game

Then you optimize to make the perfect build to use in battle

And get headshot in 0.2 seconds right out of spawn
