PWB October 2024

This game was already an error. It's lovely.

Damn I thought you meant the GBC game for a second there lol

I mean, that's on Switch through NSO if you really want to do that…

I have the cart already, but that's cool that it's there

Continuing with Star Wars Outlaws, and I've finally made it to the last misson. I'm fully expecting Spoiler - click to showJaylen to betray us all, he's just too smooth; but I'll be disappointed if ND-5 doesn't switch sides to ride off into the sunset with Kay.

I will admit that I didn't see Spoiler - click to showSliro as an ISB guy coming, though. Didn't expect to be surprised by the plot of a 7/10 Star Wars game..!

Going to try and finish the heist before I start DA: Veilguard, but that unlocks at 4pm tomorrow, so I totally won't.

The final stretch of Outlaws is the best bit of the game (and longer than you’re probably expecting). It goes out on a high.

I did think it seemed to get there somewhat quickly. There's basically only one main quest on each planet, though I've spent an inordinate amount of time maxing out my rep with all four factions.

There’s a LOT of side stuff in the game and a fair chunk of it is surprisingly good. I’ve parked it all for a while until the DLC comes out.

One thing I do find kind of frustrating is the treasure-hunting; arrive in an area and get told there are 3 chests of loot, but I could spend hours looking and not even figure out where I'm supposed to be looking, much less reach the damn things (looking at you, Mos Algo…).

Additional PLAY:
Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is out on mobile today. I already have Balatro on there. Damn, that's my productivity fucked then.

No idea if anyone else here is bothering with this, but hey:

Additional… well, TINKER rather than Play? In spending time getting everything set up on my arcade machine, I decided to dig out my RG552 again and see about making that work properly too. I guess a better understanding of how the emulators all work (because the Android ones aren't much different to their PC cousins) means I'm having better luck with it now? Things seem to run a lot better than I remember (not perfectly in some cases, but mostly fine) so I'm not sure why I gave up on it. Just need to copy a bunch of stuff from my laptop to the SD card, since my game collection has grown significantly thanks to my arcade exploits. The overall skin I'm using to house everything - Reset… something - has also been updated a fair bit, though I think I'm going to have to live with booting things from the emulators themselves in some cases… like, the NeoGeo games show up in the library, but then the emulator won't boot them and I have to do it manually. Hmm.

What's the best PS2 emulator for Android? Is it still Duckstation? Because that's what I have.

AetherSX2 for PS2 on Android seems to work well.

On the app store, or side loaded? Because I don't see it on there.

I believe it's not on there anymore but it's better to sideload it anyway, specifically an ad free version. There's also NetherSX2, which is like a fork of aether but I think is still being worked on? (Aether dev peaced out ages ago). For some reason you can only have one at a time, not both.

Why are we still in the October thread?

Can we get a mod in here!?

It's October somewhere. Probably.

For PS2 emulation you want NetherSX, as Alastor said. Aether SX got taken over by someone who is not updating it and uses it to hit you with ads.

Dammit, the RG522 isn't powerful enough to download the app from the store - I get the 'Not compatible with this device' message on the Play Store page. Same with the new version of MAME4Droid, which is up to date with the romsets. Balls. Guess it's upgrade time after all.
