      I've played most of those. Match Point - I wonder if there's a tennis game/simulator out there (old or new) where the player doesn't just run past the ball swinging the racquet wildly. Love-15, Love-30, Love-40, game.... (switch off). Maybe it's just me....

        @tashman Hah. My exact experience recently, though I don't recall it being as difficult back then! Might be my mind playing tricks on me, though. :)

        Another game that was on that tape was Pole Position, and I'm still struggling to find the last one but it should come back to me at some point. I wonder if it was Spy Hunter? Anyway, enough off topic from me, unless I'm planning on playing that this week :)

          While not really a game (though it does have XP) I've started using Duolingo to try to learn Japanese so I can play some of the cool games that never had English localizations.

          It's not easy.

            @obsidianspider It's a slow grind. Slow leveling up, low XP gain per battle, and lots of random encounters.

            Best of luck with that.

            ;)

              @pjft It's really hard. At least when I've learned a bit of Spanish and German in the past it was the same alphabet. I am slowly memorizing the characters, even if I don't quite know what they mean.

                @obsidianspider Yeah. I tried Katakana about 15 years ago, precisely for the same reason as you, but ended up giving up. Katakana was manageable was, even though it was a different alphabet, if you read it out loud you could almost make out what they meant, as it was frequently used for English-words-in-different-alphabet.

                Kind of like "oh-bo-see-dee-ah-noo-suh-pie-dah-roo".

                    Beat Ninja Gaiden and playing Ducktales now.

                    But none of the achievements unlocked for those games.

                    @meleu Does enabling cheats have something to do with that

                        @meleu So enabling cheats will turn off the ability to earn achievements?

                            @meleu Don't mind me, just going to bash my head on my desk.

                            Mainly cause I might have to replay Ninja Gaiden.

                            I might just say screw achievements for that

                              Now that my elbow is fully healed I can get back to my tf2 obsession and continue to play this slowly dying game.

                                  Donkey Kong Country for SNES . Got the N64 emulator up with a few games (Ocarina of Time Master Quest, Bango Kazooie, and Doom 64) but it runs very slow and glitchy. I think I have to overclock my Pie3 . I'm very very new at this. All of a sudden and SNES games I transfer over don't even start up. It loads to a black screen. Nothing else. The games show up and can be selected. Then just blackness. Anyone want to offer help plz text me 848-448-6148

                                    I play it on a laptop. I'm too cheap for a p.c. Sorry if were only supposed to post about retropie related stuff, I've seen people post about other things and thought it was O.K. I apologize if I was mistaken.

                                      @afunnyname no, no, please, totally acceptable. I was just curious what TF2 was, as that was the only acronym that I could think of, and curious if there was some port of it that ran on the Pi.

                                      I always heard great things about it!

                                        Probably going to play Mother 3 with the fan translation this weekend. Loved Earthbound when I was a kid and have already replayed it. Was sad when they never released Mother 3 outside of Japan but I recently discovered the fan translation.

                                          Nintendo has a cool tent here in town and I got to try out a Switch for the first time. It's a nice piece of hardware, even if it's smaller than I expected. I hope the game library grows.

                                          I also got to try the new 2DS XL, and sadly, it just felt cheap. Games ran fine, just like a new 3DS, just not 3D. It's lighter and the plastic just feels, crappier? If you're looking to get one just to save money I'd suggest getting a used 3DS on eBay or find one on sale.

                                            @villanova08 try starting the emulator with verbose logging enabled. You can turn that on in the run command menu if you press a button while the game is loading.
