Finished up Spirit Tracks a little while back and I would not recommend it to fans of Zelda games, or games that are fun in general. The train portions are awful and the last boss is a tedious chore. With any luck, this will be the last Zelda game in this style and future iterations will go with a sensible control scheme with overworld navigation ( Read more... )

Oh man, please give impressions of the Everdrive 64. Last time I seriously played any n64 emulators (which, admittedly was like 6+ years ago) compatibility was still really spotty. Did any really accurate n64 emu ever come out?

Playing on real hardware rocks, which is why I got a Super Everdrive. Also test out some trained roms if there are any for n64. I tried a bunch of them on the snes and about 2/3 of them wouldn't work. I guess the copiers they were made for back in the day were a little looser than the straight snes. Not sure if the ones that didn't work had header issues or what, but I could never fix them. I remember some crazy Bung n64 copiers that used Iomega Zip disks and one that used cd-rs.

What n64 games do you want to go back to?

It's pretty damn terrific. The main reason I dropped the coin on it was because of the sorry state of N64 emulation. PJ64 went open source and development started up on it again, but it's still making absolutely minimal steps towards improving the state of things. 1964 and Mupen64 both excel in different areas; realistically, you need to have all three emulators and at least a half dozen different plugin configurations ready for each to maximize your compatibility, and even then there's a substantial amount of side effects, bugs, and persistent issues that no one knows how to fix (likely common core issues among the various emulators). Plus there's the entire problem of being trapped in a plugin-based ecosystem instead of having something that "just works ( ... )

Nice to hear you're enjoying the Everdrive. Igor makes some awesome stuff. If you didn't know they have an official Everdrive sub-forum over at AssemblerGames. Igor and the Assembler folks provide some fine support and chat ( ... )
