    @meleu I'd be playing Shovel Knight but Steam is updating. So until then I will continue to make bad jokes.

    If rappers were farmers, would they have the freshest beets?

      Ha! I got a good laugh at your list. I'm not sure your wife wouldn't appreciate it though. I'm sure she expects you to do the dishes.

            So...um...more awkward silence...

            Last night I played Shenmue for the Dreamcast. With some screen artifacts and slow downs in the extremely long intro video, the game plays pretty will on my RPi3. I think I might have left on my d-pad mapped incorrectly which made it hard to turn left. I actually spent about 25 minutes playing (including the intro) without even leaving the house you start in. I was just opening draws, doors, looking behind paintings on the wall and underneath pots.

            I also played a little The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D on my n3DSXL and some Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands to complete this week's Live Season Challenges.

              I'm playing now and, Jesus Christ, the last few stages are insanely difficult

                      My Shovel Knight review after playing two stages and wandering that first village:

                      I feel like it was made for me:

                      • NES feelings
                      • Medieval ambiance
                      • bounching like in DuckTales
                      • the playability is like in Mega Man
                      • the platform/scrolling is like in Mega Man
                      • the soundtrack is like in Mega Man (really awesome)
                      • break walls to find items like in Castlevania
                      • confront bosses like in Castlevania (but remember: with a Mega Man playability! Much better than the Castlevania's one)
                      • choose the stages like in Super Mario Bros 3
                      • small touches of RPG elements

                      Summing up: I'm loving it!

                      There's only one point for improvement: I would love to play this on a big TV screen using my NES30 controller.

                      Edit: I'm tempted to buy the PS3 version to play on my kid's console.

                        Hey @meleu, you might want to get on the retropie IRC, someone says they have a way to get PSN style popups for cheevos

                          @lilbud they must be using the official RetroAchievements emulators (Windows). Not RetroArch.

                              @lilbud looks like @NamErehWon is just talking about some possible approaches to show those images. Not something already implemented.

                              I was about to work on this feature (posted about it at libretro forums) but realized that my approach wouldn't be good. Looks like other libretro guys are, at least, thinking in possible solutions for it.

                              EDIT:
                              by the way, I think he is referring to what I posted here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11793/gpio-triggered-by-retroachievements/17
                              It would be a funny workaround, but as a personal hack project. Not something to be widely used.

                                        @meleu I am using retroarch to play Nes games such as contra, however Doom came with the homebrew files I downloaded. Since I am on the oldest model model of 3ds anything beyond Nes and game boy is pretty shaky. I heard of another Snes emulator called blarg-Snes, but when I try to open it my whole 3ds just goes black and crashes. Retroarch Snes works, but is pretty slow (20 frames).

                                          @meleu I did look into that method, but that would be waaaaaay more work than just forking retroarch and implementing a cheevo popup natively. I believe I've found all the pieces I need to make it work, I just need to play around with it and see if I can get it to do what I want.
