    Arcade stick as a controller

    If that model supports it you need the USB A-A cable it came with and it has to be plugged into the Main USB port, usually labeled as U1 or Main or Master. The other port won't work. Also, your Pandora's Box should be off/unplugged otherwise.

    Evercade cartridge reader to USB

    Hopefully it didn't damage the Evercade cart. A Game Boy cart slot provides 5v on pin1. Evercade carts being SD cards expect DAT2 on pin1 and only need 3.3v on their power pin. Both carts have a ground on the last pin. (Evercade carts actually have many pins attached to ground)

    Can Mystery Countercade be used to extract the Arcade1UP ROMs and make them usable for other emulators (MAME, FBNeo)?

    Technically, the ROMs should be the exact same ones you would use in MAME otherwise... Also technically, you can't extract them and use them elsewhere legally since extracting them is a violation of Arcade1up TOS. Basically put, there is no point unless the ROMs on your countercade are modified...

    PS2 Fat has grey and distorted image

    I would say that you should consider changing ALL the capacitors. When something doesn't work on a cold boot and then is happy after some time powered up either with or without a reset, it usually means that an important cap isn't charging up immediately like it is supposed to, and once it has...

    Homebrew Oldies Others Homebrew app Introducing: Evercade Collection Builder

    Evercade Collection Builder will be getting a second version soon as an Evercade VS app - ECB4VS No Windows PC needed (though you do still need to be able to format a sd card to FAT32 and extract a zip to it to get started). Here are some raw footage clips of my internal beta in action. (Please...

    Hacking 4k gaming stick mod

    I don't own one but I thought most of these devices were android systems booting EmuELEC from SD card? What is the OS/interface you get when you boot it up?

    Who's ready to hack the Atari 2600+?

    Believe it or not, the Atari 2600+ multi-carts are made essentially just like the originals were in the 70's. They also work on original hardware, as do the controllers and paddles and vice-versa. Only the guts of the 2600+ itself are "modern", which is why it's still a glorified ROM dumper...

    EverSD launches PlutoniumPatcherVS tool that converts original Evercade VS firmware into Evercade VS Atomic Edition firmware

    I hope this ends the scalping of "Atomic" consoles on ebay and similar sites. It's quite ridiculous what people have been asking for old tech just because of a theme, audio recording and a paint job on what amounts to a $90 device that comes with two widely available $20 cartridges... 1702904503...

    Who's ready to hack the Atari 2600+?

    My body (and 2600+) are ready!! I'm wondering right now if there would be an advantage to soldering the missing mSD socket onto the board... I heard you can get serial shell access via the USB-C power port but no one has figured out the login info yet.

    Do anyone knows these controllers for emulation?

    I have used other IPEGA controllers before but not that specific model. I have no complaints about that brand in general, so long as you understand you get what you pay for.

    technically it depends on the size of your SD card. See the below images for how you want rufus setup and how the size of the card dictates what the "default" cluster size is: tiny card larger card

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"

    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
