What are you playing now?

For Neo Geo it could be that you don’t have the bios neogeo.zip. If you do place it as it is in it’s zipped form in the same folder as your neo geo rom folder. I do see that some rom sets for Neo Geo AES have their own bios files included to the rom zip file. There’s also Uni-Bios (uni-bios_4.0.rom) for neo geo. For AES roms you can change the versions from arcade to console, console has extra perks to them.

Reddit Forum /roms has info on rom sets as I believe we can not link rom places in the forum.

As a game recommendation give the Metal Slug series a try. Start the the easiest Metal Slug 2 (mslug2)

Cavelon - ZX Spectrum: https://www.retrogamer.net/retro_games80/cavelon/

The Arcade version is very good also, but the Speccy port has seemingly stood the test of time, and has a bizarre charm that rises above most other maze clones from the same era, it’s a retro masterpiece IMHO.

I was playing an old Brazilian hacked version of a Monster Boy game called Turma da Mônica na Terra dos Monstros, for the Genesis/Mega Drive. That was what motivated me to finally download RetroArch, actually - I was annoyed with the other emulators and wanted to check out Genesis Plus GX.

The one wrinkle is that I tried to soft patch an improved translation patch I found on romhacking.net onto it, but it makes it not load. Not sure if it’s because I have RetroAchievements enabled or something else.

I’m hooked to Mario’s Picross (SNES/GameBoy). What an amazing and addictive puzzle game. I totally missed that in the past when I got those consoles.

Was just playing MK2, got pretty much dragged in to the retro achievements, so I started unlocking them all.

I also played Castle of illusion. Unlocked every achievement except for hard game mode :D.

Well since I recently in february became a dad my time playing games these days are very few in between.

I’m currently playing Lunar Silver Star Story and Eternal Blue on Sega Saturn whenever I get a little bit of free time on my hands.

I haven’t really played these games since I beat them 20 something years ago.

Other then that I try to play shorter games on the NES and SNES.

Between working 2 jobs and being a dad I really don’t have the time beating or playing games like BotW or TotK anymore :laughing:

As you grow older, you drift towards games which respect your time. It’s not only about length, but also about conciseness and idle/active gameplay ratio.

Wish you and your family the best. Your hobby can still go on, albeit a little changed.

Last Game i played was Spyro the Dragon via Beetle PSX. Before this i played Medal of Honor Underground. I can highly recommend to everyone playing both games as they are not very time consuming and very well made for early 3d titles.

Side Note: I wanted to play Spyro 2 at first, but i had a bug with the PAL Release and activated “auto-cropping” in core options, so i switched to Spyro 1 and i Just Loved it as much as the Second Spyro Game. The Games are nice examples of making great looking and fun Games with just a PS1 as Base.
