      My main gaming related activity this weekend and currently is struggling to make mgba core work on Vita's port of RetroArch.

      Some progress was made, the core and RetroArch compilations for Vita finish with no errors. But RetroArch crashes as soon as it's launched with mgba. The discussion is happening here: https://github.com/libretro/mgba/issues/69

      Why mgba?

      Initially because the current working core to play GBA on Vita is VBA Next, and it didn't support achievements. But VBA Next got support to achievements on the last Saturday (30-September-2017).

      Then, again, why mgba?

      Because it seems to have a better performance than VBA Next (at least on tests made on a raspi3).

        Still strugling to make mgba core work on Vita. But in the mean time we managed to add cheevos support to the Wii U's port of RetroArch.

        Good news for Wii U owners, huh?

              Now that I figured out how to get my trackball working with 4.3, I will be back to playing more Centipede! My current highscore is 173041.

                I love escape room games. I am good at logic games, since the childhood that's why puzzles and riddles are so interesting for me. And they are much better in real life. When I was in LA I visited The Quest Factory rooms, after the visit homepage I booked Clinic room. It was awesome! Can't wait to try it again.

                  @muntic0re Since you like logic puzzles, I just recently got the Sherlock wooden tactile puzzle, and it is a lot of fun! Escape rooms are also tons of fun!

                    I've really gotten into the Makaimura games lately and wanted to go back to the beginning.

                        @lilbud Congrats! The switch is fun. I have quite a library now. I really enjoy it.

                          I decided to play through Super Mario Bros. for the first time that I can remember without using any warp zones. Yup. That was my Saturday night.

                            Isn't there a -1 level hidden in Super Mario 1?

                                And it's not that hard to get all cheevos and win the badge. :-)

                                  Ahh, 1986, the year when Mario hated you, your whole family, and everyone and everything you will ever love.

                                  Super Mario Bros. 2 is ridiculously hard. I will have to work on unlocking World A another time.

                                      Playing Golf Story on the Switch. Is like Earthbound but with golf. Complete with cults and bad humor.

                                        @obsidianspider Cool! How long did it take you? I've been planning to play through the original Super Mario also! Did you use save states?

                                          @andershp I had to use save states for Mario 2. That game is brutal. I'll try again in the future (you need to beat it 8 times before you can unlock World A) but the wind. THE WINNNNNDDDDD!

                                          For Mario 1 I didn't, but I don't recall how long it took me. I've played the game countless times with various iterations of warp zones and such. I don't remember playing all the way through without warp zones before the other day though.

                                            It's always great to find some new games, which are based on quests. Especially when you can play them with your friends, and especially those quests which you have to play with your friends. Two weeks ago, we've been play in real escape room ques game called Saint Angelo’s Castle (here it is: https://komnata.co.uk/london/escape-room-quest-sanangelo-london/), and what I wanna say is that creator definitely know how to impress their customers.
