What games are you playing this week? 2017-05-22

Sano

@meleu
I'll gladly take a look and help if possible :)
The first problem for me is that I can't run PAL ROMs with quicknes at normal speed (opened a thread here about this).
So I suppose it would make my reports irrelevant regarding the NES cheevos, given that quicknes is the recommended core.

AlexMurphy

@Sano It is if you are running a Pi Zero.Are you?

Sano

Actually not according to the wiki (and a @meleu thread I can't find again) :

Edit : I'm on a RPi 3B

AlexMurphy

@Sano Then, don't use quicknes

Omnija

There are some cheevos that don't work in fceumm, pick-up items on Metroid and Goomba Massacre on SuperMario3 are some I remember now.

I already opened an issue on fceumm core repo 6 months ago:
https://github.com/libretro/libretro-fceumm/issues/52

@Sano I saw your topic, but I didn't have a raspi3 at that time. I got one a couple of days ago and I'll try to reproduce your issue. And let's see what we can do.

Cheers!

Back on topic: I'm still playing Contra Advance: Alien Wars on GBA. :-)

@meleu

How does it compare to the SNES version? I actually played a bit of that last night and it makes the original 'Contra' seem like a leisurely stroll through the jungle.

meleu

@mediamogul I prefer the GBA version. It has only the side scrolling run and gun stages. It doesn't have the bombs and the option to have two weapons, but I prefer it. And the only reason is: I don't like those top view stages in the SNES version. :-)

EDIT: The original NES version is classic! I love it! :D

@meleu

I don't like those top view stages in the SNES version.

That's always been a divisive element among the fans. I don't care for the top down stages either.

AlexMurphy

@mediamogul FIGHT!

space cadet

I'm playing space quest 6.

@AlexMurphy

I'm sure it happens. I actually witnessed a fight break out at a bookstore over a disagreement of how a 'Magic the Gathering' card should be played.

AlexMurphy

@mediamogul You should stay in more...

mediamogul

@AlexMurphy

It's getting pretty bad out there. Don't even think about bringing up Kirk vs. Picard.

AlexMurphy

@mediamogul Kirk is a dick. Picard is a GOD!

Loading up my pi to play with friends, I just discovered a little game published on the PS1 in Europe called Bishi Bashi Special. Craziest party game I've ever played, HIGHLY recommended for multiplayer! :)

I think I'm going to add some Minish Cap to my playing this week.

meleu

@obsidianspider great idea! It has cheevos: http://retroachievements.org/Game/559

I'll join you when I finish Contra. I think I need a RPG to calm down a little... :-)
