          @mediamogul @itsnitro I have my copy of Mario Paint but the SNES mouse won't fit in my USB port. ;)

            You guys have got me wanting to experiment a little with this game again. When I was a kid, I used 'Mario Paint' for video titling and even some very rudimentary special effects. I don't know what I'd do with it now, but the idea sounds like fun regardless. Plus it also contains that fly swatting game that's surprisingly pretty fun itself.

              @mediamogul I've never tried it with an emulator, but I do have all the stuff for a real SNES

                @obsidianspider Started Minish Cap today. I felt honored to see Princess Zelda wanting to go to Picori Festival with MELEU. 😍

                So far my only big takeaway is that Ezlo is annoying. ;)

                Yes, it is. :)

                  @meleu Just wait until Ezlo starts telling you how stupid you are. I really hate that darn hat.

                    @meleu So far I'm stuck after the first dungeon, but I am trying to play through without using a guide.

                    I'm playing without a guide too...

                    The first dungeon you're saying is that one where you get the Earth Element? You have to go talk to the Minish Town elder after getting the Earth Element. Then he says you have to go to Mount Crenel and look for Melari (is he my relative? :) ).

                    Ezlo suggested we go through in Hyrule Town before going to Mount Crenel. I think I'll take his suggestion.

                    And that's where I stopped. I'm going to continue soon.

                      @meleu I'm on Mount Crenel now, looking for that blacksmith. I loaded my old saved game from about 10 years ago, and this is where I was stuck back then too.

                      I will find you, Mr. Blacksmith!

                        @obsidianspider played a bit today. Didn't find Melari yet, but I'm not stuck, just had to stop playing and go to work.

                        Let me ask: did you get the Grip Ring?

                          @meleu I have the ring, but then I had to stop playing and get to work. When I turned the GBA back on I was back at the bottom of the mountain. :-/

                          Some call save states cheating, but they certainly are convenient. That said, there's something great about playing the original cartridge on real hardware.

                          I hope Melari isn't a skeleton by the time I actually find him…

                            A quick break on Minish Cap to experiment a Neo Geo Pocket Color game: SNK vs. Capcom - The Match of the Millennium. Never played anything on this console, and this game has simple but cute graphics and good playability (reminded me Pocket Fighter from PlayStation1). If you like fighting games, worth trying.

                              I love using save states, especially in Zelda games or RPGs. Just save at the beginning of the dungeon or before a tricky area, and if you die, just reload.

                                @obsidianspider I found Melari! Phew! Here is my tip: you need to use the boomerang. ;-)

                                    Since Melari is a hopeless recluse I gave up on looking for him for a bit and decided to try something different. Now that I finally bought a 3DS I have a system that can play Shovel Knight!

                                          @obsidianspider spent my free time making this tool for ES devs and testers but took some breaks to continue Minish Cap.

                                          I've found Earth and Fire elements, Melari fixed that sword, and advanced a little more. Did you give up to save Princess Zelda? : '(

                                            @meleu I haven't given up, but it was a nice weekend and I spent a lot of it outside, not really any gaming. Today it's raining, so I think I'll work on getting that boomerang.
