The Games Corner Pilee!!DBzSdn79YU 13/06/25 13:57:39 No.1 [Reply]

First woohoo

What is everyone's ideal retro setup? Do any of you ever think to have a little corner where you have your retro games and consoles to sit. I have thought to dig out an old CRT TV and set up accordingly

10 years ago I lived in an attic room with a tiny cupboard in the corner, with a beanbag, TV and a stack of Xbox 360 games inside. It would be nice to have something reminiscent of that, and it's weird to think 360 is becoming 'retro' now.

What retro games are the people playing?

I'm playing DQ3 for the SNES because I like having my gal pals. I'm not sure about the remake, visually its very pleasing but it seems like you can autoplay the entire game. And I'm not paying that much money for it fuck you Squeenix

I should finish Chrono Trigger.

Early today I downloaded Septerra Core. I found that game for the first time in a CD full of demos I found as a kid in the trash. The CD was so busted that out of all the games it had Septerra was the only one that properly worked.

Cool to see old games getting new ports to Linux

The GOG version is not actually a linux port, it's just an old wine wrapper that I never manage to make it work. It's better to run the win version under proton with this patch: https://www.zombs-lair.com/post/definitive-edition-patcher-septerra-core

Ah well, still cool

I could seldomly get wine to play nice with old games, fond memories 10 years ago of being up into the early morning out of sheer frustration. Linux was like signing a contract 'I will not game (except nethack)'

Proton is making a pretty big difference, I have some friends that have gotten into Linux more recently and found most of their games work, some even run better. Personally I still keep Windows on a dual boot though.
