True, it’s not that easy to find the good ones. Try browsing around RetroAchievement’s hubs, click a category you’re interested in, and then sort by “most players”. The popular games there might surprise you.
Losing interest? How about some shorter games that are super high quality all the way through?
So, what kinds of games do you normally play? We can help you more if we know where you’re coming from.
Tekken? Nah. It’s a four button game, and you only need to map the shoulder buttons if your character has a good move with a weird button combination like Square+Circle. Street Fighter Alpha 3 really needs all 6 buttons, though.
You might want to search for a RetroAchievements collection of PlayStation Portable games.
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max are in top shape on the PSP with extra characters and decent single player content.
Rock Band Unplugged is a stealth sequel to Frequency and Amplitude, worth a try for juggling a whole band’s worth of instruments.
I also had a lot of fun with Half-Minute Hero, Lumines, Everybody’s Golf Portable 2/Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2, and the racing games DdCno1 mentioned.
And that’s not even getting into the excellent options for emulated games, both retail and homebrew.
RetroAcheivements PSP games sorted by number of players is a good way to see the most popular games.
I thought Soft Garden’s boss Jackle was a good fight. He tries to zone you out by throwing tarot cards at you, and it’s satisfying to slip through his cards and hit him.
Hi there! Since I’m here finding sources, I might as well crosspost my phone’s wallpaper. Papika and Cocona are sort of skydiving like this at the end of the show.

Challenge accepted. These vector trees have been ripped off to hell and back for ten years, but I think the original artist is desenart. Vector art theft just runs rampant. They even got rid of the surfer dude.
Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about-- ah, forget it. I’m lucky to keep my elo higher than my @[email protected] post count.
I dunno, Nc6, then Qa5+, then Nb4? They’ll probably take our knight but it stops their attack.
Then I guess we push king and try to check their king with our king.
Moments like this make me think Mike DeWine isn’t dumb enough or evil enough to actually be a Republican. He actually has a soul and he’ll make his own party double-down on transphobia if they’re so committed to it. We should’ve still impeached him for screwing up the March 2020 primary election, though.
Me too. Next time I notice something I post doesn’t federate, I’ll give you a shout out on infosec.exchange if it’s easier for you.
Ah, so it wasn’t just me? I thought I must have done something weird with my formatting to mess up federation. Since the post you mentioned, this has happened on two more posts with images and a link post. I’m not trying to break Fedia, I promise!
I left that comment five hours ago and it didn’t federate either. I can see it on Fedia but not on Kbin.social. I thought comments always federated, but maybe not? It looks like there’s another bug to squash somewhere. @jerry and @[email protected] have been doing an amazing job running a cool social media platform to run on this cursed code base.

Check each game’s entry on PCGamingWiki. They’re a good resource for finding what it takes to get old games running well on modern PCs. A lot of times, the answer is either “buy it on Steam and use a community-made patch” or “buy it on GOG”.
I’m curious, what games are you trying to get working?
Generally good news here, but I’m not holding my breath. Sega’s remakes are still hit-and-miss, but they all have a chance to be good. We don’t know if Hideki Naganuma is involved with the new Jet Set Radio.
Chocolatey, a command line driven package installer for Windows that works like apt-get for Linux. Replaces thousands of bloated installers with simple commands. My first step with an updated Windows install is to install Chocolatey, open command prompt, and do something like choco install firefox notepadplusplus gimp zoom windirstat winrar
to install them all silently.
Yes! Seriously, listen to it on stereo speakers. It’s a shame phone calls aren’t in stereo. This song is actually good.
.hack//Sign is the worst anime series I’ve ever watched all the way through. This cool music gave me such high hopes. But, this show was about 5 episodes’ worth of material and music stretched into 26 episodes, and it still left lots of unanswered questions that require watching more .hack stuff to resolve.
Thank you! My 500 Server errors appear to be all fixed now. I’ll try not to accidentally double post and then delete one of their thumbnails, if that still causes the error.
Thank you for all your hard work. You and @melroy haven’t given up on this community, and I’ll stand by you too. I embrace the jank and appreciate the fine communities we’ve made here.
To take the survey, go to this campaign page and scroll down to the “take part” button to get the survey in your language. I basically just told them that I install Firefox ESR from Chocolatey. They were really interested in locale strings like “en-US”.
