Oh yeah, getting the RBR setup to detect the right and left triggers as seperate can be a pain I remember, but as far as I know even that has a fix now.
It's not an emu specifically, you download the game client for your particular OS (Linux in my case) and run the app and it'll ask you to drag and drop a Super Mario Bros. nes rom into the game Window (literally drag and drop the rom) and from there you're good to go. Just download the client for your OS and then the SMB rom (just a search for NES roms on Archive.org and you'll find the Super Mario Bros. (world) rom). I don't know how Hexbear feels about rom links but if you need me to I can DM you the direct link for the rom ;)
Okay, I just played the shit out of this last night and am floored by how good it is. It still does have that slight input lag delay that PC versions of SMB have, which is even more noticeable after playing and beating SMB on the OG hardware this past year, but once you get used to that slight delay it isn't too bad, not perfect but still very playable and very fun. I dig the graphic upgrade and how it's a upgrade of the look of the original graphics but not so dramatic to be jarring. I honestly think it did a better job enhancing the look of the original graphics then Super Mario Maker did. The remixed songs and geographic themes of the levels were a nice welcome surprise that retained the same level layouts but gave each world a distinct theme like later Mario entries.
So basically, this is my mofo jam right now. Thanks OP for the heads up on this <3
Huh, hadn't heard of Old School Rally. I'll have to check it out. Yeah, New Star is fun, but I do find the crew management stuff boring and slightly tedious. Overall it's a solid racer. I did notice on the expert difficulty I was just getting smoked no matter how good I was driving, so I bet the crew management and upgrade stuff is even more necessary for playing elswise I have no clue how expert is winnable. Formula Legends sounds familiar but I couldn't tell you where I heard about it from.
In the last half dozen times I've never had an issue on Windows and it has great community support for mods and online play. Seriously, if you haven't tried it I highly recommend it, seriously the GOAT rally sim even twenty years later. There's also a couple other modern implementations of RBR as well that update the graphics and provide other tools too.
My dilemma is I only run Linux yhese days and am too lazy to implement a dual boot for just one game when 80+% of stuff works just fine for me through Lutris....although I have been tempted to because RBR, especially yhe Rally Sim Fan version, is just that damn good.
I have tried Art of Rally, for some reason though it runs like trash on my computer. The game that does run for me right now is New Star GP which is a fun F1-style game. I also play Colin McRae 2 for PS1 through retroarch which nearly scratches the rally itch, but damn Richard Burns Rally really spoiled me especially with the shear amount of community support and content. One of these days I'm just going to have to go down the wine troubleshooting rabbit hole and get it running, there's really nothing like it.
Oh god, I really hope Sega Rally 2 works with Lutris on Linux. I've been looking for a good rally game since I can't get Richard Burns Rally working on my Linux setup.
Oh that's pretty cool too, although Zelda 2 was never really my jam. But maybe I'll have to take a stab at it again since it seems like a good excuse to with a enhanced version. Did you also ever see the MESEN Zelda 1 HD version with updated graphics and QoL tweaks?
Nice! This looks like it might be pretty cool. I just beat SMB on the original cart this past year so this might be a good complement. Thanks for the find ;)
Awww adorable
Here's my communist dog that reads more theory than meAnd yea, I agree completely. My life would be much worse without him in it. He's the one thing that keeps me going
