InEnduringGrowStrong, rok temu w Do you prefer inverted or uninverted camera, and what are your experiences with it in general?

Non inverted, keyboard and mouse.
The only games I play inverted are flight games on a controller where I invert Y, only because I’m too cheap to buy a flight stick setup and whenever I go doyen that rabbit hole I start overthinking it and not buying anything.

… 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)

CarlosCheddar, rok temu w How Four Friends Built a ‘Hypercube’ to Play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Together in 2023

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

You’re the first person on earth I’ve ever heard of to invert the X axis, I can’t even think of a game that let’s you do that.

I’m pretty boring, I like my sticks neat unless I’m flying an aircraft, then I need vertical invert.

Now tank control schemes I could argue about for a while, what numbskull wants to drive in the exact direction they’re firing?

That’s fine, the steam deck is already fast enough as is. What I’m mostly interested in is a next gen steam controller for docked Gameplay. One with the same controls as the deck (Dual Analog) and also has USB-C, also since it would be more easily available than the Old Steam Deck controllers which you can only buy used and in ever increasing scarcity.

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.

I’m super curious where Corel will end up! On the original game all the flashbacks made it seem like it was not too far from North Corel, but the Gold Saucer goldola and remnants of Corel in the prison made no sense…

[slightly off-topic] surprisingly forthright, why can’t we get info like this in respect to the index? i would LOVE to finally get into VR but i’m certainly not paying full price for a piece of 5 year old tech in an industry that has moved as fast as VR has

Good. I hope it is longer than that. Fragmenting the platform will do no one any good at this stage in its life, and its performance is completely adequate for what it is.

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.

Given that I just bought one and am waiting for it to arrive in the bloody mail. I think that’s fine.

Also, I’m okay with playing less intensive titles regardless. If I wanted to be immersed with high fidelity stuff I’d use my gaming PC. I also chose the Deck over the Ally and Legion Go due to software integration and hardware repair options.
