What games are you playing this week? 2017-07-24

@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.

meleu

@namerehwon You mean implement it in C? Directly in RetroArch? I would love to test it! Please let me know if you make something. :-)

I started a brainstorm about it on libretro forums but I gave up. Here is the link if you're interested: https://forums.libretro.com/t/questions-about-overlay-code/11135

@meleu Yeah, they bring up some of the issues I was worried about (like using overlay code). I wasn't planning on pulling the images for each achievement as part of this. Just using a graphic and some text. You know, keep it simple.

Parasite Eve this weekend for me.

Replaying Fable III. It's pretty good, but I'm glad they stopped at 3. I doubt we'll ever see a new Fable game anyway.

Finally beat Contra (NES), and got cheevos as well.

Not 100%, I don't have the patience to finish everything

@lilbud many of them are very chalenging! Until now I didn't even beat Contra without using Konami Code...
what a shame... :(

I never said I beat it without using the Konami code. I just said that I beat it.

Now I'm working on Battletoads. I may I just say that I would like to punch the designer of turbo tunnel in the face.

@lilbud you are choosing the best ones! Go lilbud!!

@meleu I got to level 5 and I am just done.

Also, I'm too busy watching the Mariothon

. Some guy is trying to beat every single mario video game.

meleu

@lilbud did you use the warp zone? I'm able to reach stage 10, but I have to be honest I can't pass the Snake Pit without that warp zone...

lilbud

@meleu I unknowingly got the warp zone in Turbo Tunnel, I was just trying to beat it and next thing I know, the screen flashes that I got the super warp and I'm on round 5 all of a sudden.
