    I remember playing Return to Zork with a friend of mine and we were cracking up about this moment:

    We'll still quote it from time to time

    Also there was another moment in Return to Zork when you say the wrong things to this person and they will finally punch your lights out.

    Another time we were playing the point & click adventure Stephen King’s The Dark Half and we found the .ini files with all the dialog from the game and we changed everyone's name to something funny and added many curse words as adjectives. We actually started the game over from the start and was cracking up all the way through.

    And it seems to be rolling out now - 1.20190401-1 is in the repository, so there's no need for rpi-update.

    EDIT: eh, spoke to soon, 1.20190401-1 is still at 4.14.

    I also have a Lenovo M92P Tiny that I can use. However, this bartop will be dedicated solely to arcade platform, I have changed tactics and just ordered a Pi3B+. I really want to use GPIO for the controls so I can remove the USB encoder.

    I will use a Lenovo T430 laptop connected to our main TV for console emulation (4x PS3 controllers). This has Intel HD4000 GPU so it handles most everything that I care about.

    @Ryan78134 Just so you know..if you buy a Raspberry Pi 3 you can play dozens of systems/handhelds/arcade boards/computers..but ps2 is out of its reach. PS1 works fine and N64 is hit or miss.

    My most favorite is Final Fantasy. I used to really like Minecraft (that I downloaded free from apknite), but my bias has turned to FF for a while

    Thanks for all the posts on this, wish I had the knowledge to try and make this happen but I guess it's quite complicated...

    Retropie is amazing enough, I should be happy with what I have at the moment👍

    @BuZz well said and this community is great you guys created with Retropie. Great to see you aren't motivated money. I have seen people charge money to help someone with something giving there hour rate. And beg people to donate to there paypal as there giving the most basic info.

    Very cool on your stance with ads sir. And i figured you and your team would be far to busy for a podcast. Just really pisses me off that people give RetroPie bad name on ebay, craigslist, ect. I flag that stuff whenever i see it. Also flag stuff with people selling devices with Kodi claiming ''free everything''. Probably does absolutely nothing in the long run sadly.

    Please let us know if you or your team ever do any more podcasts.

    Thanks again for all you guys do!

    @BJRetro no it ran very poorly on my overclocked pi 3b+ last time I tried it. Maybe some older 2d only games might be ok but the few games I tested were very choppy.

    @ByteThis It's only logical. There clearly is a demand for complete Pi+Retropie packages as many people don't have the skills or the time to create it themselves (and they probably don't think twice about the illegality of it all). And when websites like Amazon and Ebay ignore these violations it will only get worse. These sellers might benefit as well from Nintendo taking down rom hosting sites, as people might see these complete packages as the only way to get (a lot of) games. I'm sure Nintendo will act on it at some point when the market gets big enough. Let's hope that Retropie doesn't get caught in the crossfire.

    @jabberwock101

    i have a megapi case and can definitly reccomend it somthing to keep in mind before you splash out cash for a setup with one is when it comes to cooling the pi is mounted upside down in the case and unless you have a really low profile heatsink trying to fit a fan isnt possible as it will hit the heatsink when fitting....my friend found that one out the hard way :P

    personally i think you can get away without a fan as my setup does not have one and ive yet to recieve any thermal throttling/heat warnings and i use my system for all sorts of things and it certanly didnt complain when it was compiling code for almost 2 hours non stop

    @MrSkyle Probably use both. Be easier that way.

    You'd end up having more entries, but only use the alternate name for games released in that region.

    Hi @Rastan80 @tpo1990

    Time Crisis and Time Crisis Project Titan work fully in pcsx-rearmed:

    You can play with a controller but obviously it's not the same as with a Lightgun. I'm aiming to tidy up and merge up the Lightgun support for pcsx-rearmed by June.

    The arcade version works fully in Mame which is cool....but is too slow unfortunately, see 7 minutes and 30 seconds into this video:

    Sorry for resurrecting this old topic. I have the latest code (1.5.7) working now with a patch. Will finish it off in next day or two.

    Exagear which i didnt get a chance to try i believe runs off some custom WINE variants used for the project. Dont quote me on any of that.

    For older games though including my main RetroPie install im using a x86 PC running Kubuntu at the moment, but specifically i use playonlinux within this.
    I had absolutely no troubles creating a WINE container using this program to play some older games i have such as Gothic 1, 2, 3 (my personal favorites) as well as i even got warbirds running which i recall playing on w95 back in the day. Neverwinter nights 1 and 2 are also setup and had almost zero troubleshooting involved though i only played 1 briefly..Great game btw!

    You said you're running windows so WINE isn't an option, but something to consider as maybe even a dual boot. You also don't need ZOMG hardware to get these older games running even if you did at the time such as integrated intel works well so does older Nvidia cards.

    Also Neverwinter Nights is coming to the xbox one and i think PS4 here shortly...Im not sure how it will play with a controller, but its day one purchase easy for me! The Titan quest port worked pretty well with a controller so im optimistic.
