My NES went bad so don’t feel too bad.
I really need to get some of my extra gaming gadgets charged up and try playing some emulators again. The last retro game I have played in the past year was when the Duck Tales remake suddenly showed up in the featured games window on my Steam account. It was pretty fun on both my laptop and my Nvidia Shield tablet. I was incredibly happy how good the music sounded, that was like half of what I enjoyed about the original game on my long lost NES. I still can’t believe that I sold that NES as a kid.
Well, probably with all retro consoles. SoCs, or systems on a chip, consolidate all functions of the original hardware into one small, cheap chip that mimics it. With some additional programming to account for the SoC, the games run as if it’s on the native hardware.
The emulator SoCs use a generic, non-system-specific setup sufficient enough to run an emulator. I know there’s one or two retro consoles that actually use miniaturized versions of the original hardware. In some cases, systems that use the faithful SoCs or original components can be modified to add a cartridge slot, and play original cartridges on them. I know of an Atari and a Sega Genesis (Mega-Drive outside the US) one where this is possible.

I have a feeling there is a noticeable profit margin with those.
A good number of those “retro Atari consoles” are nothing more than emulators themselves. They use SoCs and run an extremely basic emulator coupled with ROM images.
Meh.
Emulators
I kind of want to get that Atari with 1,000 built in games. I mean it’s no Game Philip, but at least 80% of them might be good.
No, but frozen custard does sound good
Custards revenge?
Yeah I did, but you don’t wanna know what I was playing

Yeah, I’m familiar with the limitations and specs, I had an Atari 2600 when they were still on the market. Hence why I said port. Or rather in this case it would be a recreation. Doing that is a hobby for some Atari fans. But I know realistically it would take quite a bit of work, so take my comment as a half-joke. Except the cart and custom label part. That totally needs to exist, even if it’s a mock cart.
He means that it would take so long for derpibooru to support flash uploads that it would be a dead medium by the time they finished.
I understood that reference.
Whatever happened to Horse Game anyway?
“It’s so reeeeeeal!”
I can’t do atari, no way. The atari can only handle 4kb game. Grass Muncher is over 5MB or 5,120kb. Atari games were all made by hand in native machine language… Super smart computer science nerds wrote the games in hex to optimize their game so it would work on the restricted hardware of the atari. The oldest computer I would say that could run grass muncher would be an 700mhz celeron running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Even then that old single core celeron is easily more powerful than 700 atari put together.
Just keep playing the game. The high score increments on every grass you eat but only see the high score on the main screen.

What? I don’t understand this comment. What do you mean?
Edited because: i dun messed up my reply html

Ah. I didn’t realize I had to do it twice.
But Flash would be well and truly dead by the time we got around to it.
