What famous games have you never ever played?

Efriim

I haven't played... Landstalker. That's it.

I haven't played very much of Ocarina of Time at all. I'm still trying to get the cheat code that fixes the inventory to work.

@Efriim Use lr-mupen64plus for OOT. Menu delay fix/hack is already in place (you may need to update from source if you havent done so in a while). The lens of truth will also function properly, which it does not if you are using standalone mupen+rice plugin. In retroarch menu turn less accurate blending off as well otherwise certain effects dont render properly. Currently lr-mupen64plus is the only real way to play OOT properly on the raspberry pi 3, though I would highly recommend overclocking v3d frequency and core frequency for best performance.

@quicksilver I updated from source. I admit the inventory is faster, it doesn't seem totally fixed though. I still get a lot of framedrops, especially when I'm talking to someone, it's probably one of my settings.

I think lr-parrallel ran better than this, lr-parallel fixed the inventory as well.
The main problem I was having with lr-parallel was that I couldn't save the settings for some reason, I tried all the overrides, and it saved just a couple of the settings but not all of them. Then I was able to edit the handful of settings manually but couldn't get to the other ones. It still has me baffled. I noticed it with some of my other emulators too.

@Efriim I had the same problem with lr-parallel, no setting would save even if I saved overrides. However it was extremely slow even on my overclocked pi 3b+ so wasn't very useful for me. Using lr-mupen64plus @ 320x240 resolution the game runs pretty much full speed for me all the time with only the occasional framerate drop. Mupen64plus-gles2rice runs smoother overall but since the lens of truth doesn't work it's a no go.

I'm pretty sure that a lot of us here are in that same boat. I'm always trying to find little things to make my build just a little bit better.

Efriim

Yeah, I'm just trying to flesh out these last few emulators; arcade machines and dos, and a few ports. Want to try and free up as much space as I can and figuring out what I want to do with it. Maybe adding somehow to ES; faqs or guides, using firefox or xpdf or even Acrodos adobe acrobat for dos. I think the raspbian system almost takes up a third of my sdcard at 9gb.

Games I have played on my PI:
Actraiser, I got to the ending its a pretty short game.
Dragon Quest III, I would have named this as a famous game if I didn't just play it recently.
Front Mission Gun Hazzard, I might be like halfway through
Heracles no Eikou IV, actually I'm not that far but I'm past the beginning and getting into the game.
Ogre Battle: I'm on the fourth map or so.
Ghoul Patrol: I don't know but if there is like 200 levels as Zombies ate my neighbors then I'm not very far along.
Shantae,
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, I put in like 33 hours.
Aladdin for sega mega drive
Lunar SSSC.
Ultima 8. I have some of the enchanted items and max stats anyway
Oh and Final Fantasy 4 complete. I have to replay the return to baron after you become a paladin because I forgot to save.

And as for a famous game I havent played
Star Fox

There was another topic like this last year where I added my own shameful list of missed greats of the past.

@chubsta Any final Fantasy game. I really don't like turn based games. So you could count any famous turn based game in that also.

How is everybody getting banned in this topic?

@simpleethat spam most likely, each account joined yesterday and only has one post

@quicksilver that makes sense

I just began to play iD yesterday. It's on my "must play before I die" list since the 80s when I had a C64, but iD was only available for the ZX Spectrum. 😭

simpleethat

@Clyde well iD sounds pretty interesting

Clyde

@simpleethat Yes, iD does. ;)

I had to solve some obstacles getting keyboard input configured in the Spectrum emulator, though. To have full keyboard access in the game, you have to set the controllers for player 1 and 2 to "none" and for player 3 to "Sinclair Keyboard". But then, the keyboard overlay on "Select" doesn't work anymore. I'll have to look further into this.

Hint: On the Spectrum's keyboard, a question mark is made with Right Alt + C (AltGr + C on a German keyboard). I think you'll need it to ask iD questions. ;)

edit: Ah, I finally found the solution (just mentioning it here to close this up). Set player 1's controller to Cursor Joystick and all of its bindings except for Keyboard Overlay to "---". Then you'll have the overlay on whatever key you set it to, and the rest of the keyboard will work nonetheless.

Hint 2: Press Right Alt + M for a full stop / period.
