      @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.

            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.

                        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 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.

                                      @WeirdH haha! I've played it but have yet to complete it. It's a pretty good game though

                                          @simpleethat I am very much planning to play at some time, because it gets nothing but praise. I never really got the appeal of jrpg's and such when I was younger, but I think I can appreciate them now. Same with Sword of Mana, by the way.

                                            Secret of Mana was great! I never played any other "Mana" series games.

                                            (Similarly, I only played Tales of Symphonia in the "Tales" series, but that entry was quality.)
