I tend to just stick to one mame distro as my main one and then get newer ones for specific games. Rom sets change with versions. So if something works I'm just going to stick with that.
As the Pope of Video games I hereby decree that no 21st Century console shall ever be considered retro. Modern Game design and concept began with the PS2 solidfied on XBOX and materialized on the PS360s.
As the Pope I override what Gamestop says because, I'm the Pope.
I have this one friend that doesn't care but he also has no concept of what makes a game good or bad.
I knew this wouldn't be good when no physical was announced. Not even something from Limited Scam. At least Viper Phase 1 the best of these games is an Arcade Archives release.
I'll deal with the load screens and play these in MAME.
@cawley1 HOW DARE YOU DOUBT ME. Random internet person.
I do know in fact. 100% of the time it's the poster that destroys their own packages for clout. If customs opens and desultory something it never gets to it's destination.

@Sketcz I'm on the fence I'm leaning towards getting one because it's likely the last chance I have of ever owning one.
Re: "No Emulation, No Compromise, No Comparison" - The $250 Neo Geo+ AES Aims To Be A 1:1 Replica Of SNK's Classic Console
This might be my last chance to own a Neo Geo but I'd rather it have been an FPGA thing with games built in.
Re: Hopes Of Neo Geo Hardware Revival Triggered By ESRB Rating
Contains new game, Blood Money Which is just the first stage of Metal Slug 2 and X over and over again.
Re: "I've Never Seen Anything Like This" - This Freshly Released Punch-Out!! NES Prototype Has Historians Stumped

Re: Ninja Gaiden-Inspired Platformer 'Eclipse Blade' Sneaks Out Of The Shadows
Ninja 1987 came out of nowhere seemed like some cheap shovelware slop and nailed the vibe so....what's this got to offer other than graphics?
Re: Move Over, Alex Kidd! Here's Super Mario Bros. On The Sega Master System
Redundancy since it was ported to the Megasis pretty accurately aside from the music sounding weird.
Re: "The Battle Continues" - Cave Revives Classic Bullet Hell Shmup For New "Reignite" Release
Day One purchase and I don't buy much on steam these days
Re: MAME Set To Introduce Changes To Its System Requirements & "The Frequency Of Releases"
I tend to just stick to one mame distro as my main one and then get newer ones for specific games. Rom sets change with versions. So if something works I'm just going to stick with that.
Re: Limited Run Games Announces Widespread Delays, Concedes Delivery Dates Were "Too Aggressive" & "Overly Optimistic"
Limited Scam games
They're a necessary evil though. They are keeping physical alive. But they don't care.
Re: More Classic Capcom Titles Have Arrived On Steam, But, Of Course, There's A Catch
@AnonUser You'd think you'd realize by now I don't care what you have to say.
Re: More Classic Capcom Titles Have Arrived On Steam, But, Of Course, There's A Catch
@AnonUser No
PC gaming isn't for everyone.
There no wall of text trying to gaslight you like you tried to do to gaslight me. Just a statement.
Re: More Classic Capcom Titles Have Arrived On Steam, But, Of Course, There's A Catch
@Arcadia_Official Not the kind of DRM that renders hardware unusable

Re: This Game Boy Cart Uses ChatGPT To Create "Personalised Scenarios Tailored To Each Player"
AI Slop the game
The Open AI bubble is about to burst, the rest of the AI bubble within the next 18 months. Not even worth it for the curiosity.
Re: This N64 Flash Cart Has A Built-In Screen That Shows Which Game Is Running
My N64 is out of sight this would be completely useless to me.
I have an Everdrive, that's all I need.
Re: Evercade Nexus Has A Better Screen, Dual Analog, Banjo, And Nintendo's Most Consumer-Friendly Feature
Evercade is for people just fed up with Modern gaming and want to collect and enjoy games again.
I don't have one but with the possibility of being unable to get a MISTer due to storage shortages this is appealing.

Re: Classic Cute 'Em Up Series 'Cotton' To Celebrate Its 35th Anniversary With New Japan-Themed Entry
@Sketcz Is there no purer genre? Half my Physical Switch collection are Shmups. Actually so is Half my Physical PS4/PS5 collection.
Re: Random: The Internet Dunks On Ex-WWE CEO For Claiming PSP Was "The Beginning Of Life On The Go"
This was after Shane put a trashcan over her head and did the coast to coast. She was loopy.
As to why shane did this? who knows.
Re: Classic Cute 'Em Up Series 'Cotton' To Celebrate Its 35th Anniversary With New Japan-Themed Entry
@Sketcz No Culture is here to stay in games especially niche genres like Shmups

Re: Deadly Metropolis Is A Streets Of Rage-Style Scrolling Fighter You Should Keep An Eye On
@slider1983 You won't know for sure until you play it. How something looks vs how it actually feels with controller in hand are different things.
