Awesome, such a great device and fun. Since the video I've kept it on me a few times over other handhelds. I'm assuming games saving high scores or save states are up to the individual developer to fully implement? If you do an update to a game, would you lose progress? I pretty much loaded it and haven't hooked it back up to a computer since.
@SMABEM
@SMABEM 6 күн бұрын
@UnpackReboot right. The high score data can be saved into the flash-ram if you know how. Some games don't even have a score and are more "free form". I think there is a way progress can be saved but it is rarely warented as most games are quite small. However games can employ to FX chip to store additional conteant. Check out Dark & Under II in the Adventure category. One thing you may want to do if you are reviewing games in the future is check out some of the greyscale games too. The community have created libraries where pixels can be oscillated to creat an illusion of a 4 bit display like a Gameboy. Anyway stay tuned to the Arduboy space we are always growing and developing our game quality and community! Thanks again!

No one cares what you think waste your money on, and I literally mean “WASTE”. You hate on Xbox so bad yet the moment Xbox started the Game Pass to let its players play more games on a subscriber PlayStation started copying and doing the same thing and now Nintendo Switch is doing the same thing. Don’t copy what you hate since you hate it.

No more consoles is a redicolous statment, xbox is only providing the cloud gaming option which is by far the lightest catalogue of games provided by game pass compared to games pass console and PC. Also to note xbox game pass / cloud gaming can be side loaded onto the majority of smart TV sets, this is not a new capability.

3D printing makes some people squeamish because of the amount of skill it takes to manage one efficiently. Bambu took most of that guesswork out of the equation. I bought an X1C last spring while it was still somewhat under the radar, and many in the community were very cautious about them. It's been so reliable with some due diligence that I went and ordered a P1S combo as a secondary. I still love the whole 3d printing ecosystem but Bambu are a hot topic for good reason, they're the peak of consumer/prosumer printers.
@UnpackReboot
@UnpackReboot 12 күн бұрын
100% agree.... I tried with a couple entry level printers a few years ago to see if I would like it, then tried a resin (had success, but the cleanup) Was extremely hesitant on Bambu because I found it hard to believe something would just work. It feels almost to the point of being just about as consumer friendly as one could get.

Don't know how thick your walls are on the pot, I know my 200mm tall by 200mm wide pots are 220ish(depends on the design) grams each. So about a quarter role. $4 is accurate for the cheaper filaments, $9.60 is my most expensive one with a $30 filament(330g total). Pro tip, add a design embossed to the outside, engrave someones name into the design, flip it for an easy $50.

Nice prints. Love my X1C with AMS. Would recommend getting AMS. Its not just the multi-color, but (1) AMS can auto load the same type of filament when you run out on one roll, makes larger prints stress free. (2) Selecting in App your roll to print without switching the back roll. (3) You can print larger desiccant cages for inside AMS and keeps humidity ultra low for the spools (keeps mine < 10%). PLUS the multicolor...makes a Nintendo logo pop!

How do these Home arcade KZfaqrs keep forgetting that the Arcade1up countercades retail new for $229? The same price as this! Obviously that is how Blaze came up with the pricing for Evercade Alpha. It's true that the 1ups go on sale a lot, but they are also present in a lot more retailers than Evercade products. The reality is that this is technically a better value than Arcade1up countercades at this price point by virtue of the fact that you can play the cartridges. I'm definitely getting the Street Fighter arcade. 💥💥👊💥💥

I bought the Street Fighter version. This caught my attention and now I’m diving headfirst into Evercade, buying a few of the arcade cartridges or console ones with shooter games to get ready. I’ve never owned an arcade cabinet, and I don’t have a ton of space, so this looks like a good option for me. I really like that you can swap cartridges, and that you can plug in controllers, although I’ll be playing single player most of the time. I think my kids will get some fun out of this too though, so I can take the hit and plug in a 6-button Genesis controller to play with them. I was also considering getting a Super Pocket awhile ago, so this helped me pull the trigger on that too. Hopefully I enjoy it and that Evercade keeps putting out good games!

I feel like you are the perfect customer for it. New to evercade and don't have the other ways to play. I personally love arcade games, so the arcade carts are mostly solid to me, followed by the pico, jaleco, and technos carts would probably all play pretty well on there. They did say expect more arcade carts this year too. I have a feeling those will be the November carts. I do have the full collection, not too bad buying 2 carts every 3 months.

If they ever add paddle controller support, then I’d consider the Atari arcade cart as well, but for now I can play those games on Atari 50 instead.
