Oh absolutely! That’s the killer app for the Gameboy Player IMHO. Properly felt like a return to the SNES days of 2D platforming, but with improved tech and quality of life. Love it.

Big shout out to the Gameboy Player add-on for the GameCube, and the equally brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.
Doesn’t work on Jerboa ☹️ At least I now know why my feed seems to be filled with these html image links.
Definitely. Nothing really caught my attention in terms of the used retro games, but got chatting to Alastair from Lowtek games who was really nice, and just loved the look of the blue cart. Plus any excuse to fire up the old front loader!
I’d suggest Löve, which uses Lua. It’s a powerful language but equally easy to learn. You could also try Pico8, which is also a version of Lua. It’s presented as if it’s an old 8-bit microcomputer with a built in sprite and tile editor. I find Pico8 much more approachable for beginners. Python is another good starting point for low end hardware.
Oh man. The pocket doesn’t have SNES save states? Mine is on order but not due for ages. I’ve been playing on an Rg35xx in the meantime and don’t know if I can go back to no save states!
Thanks for the welcome! I’m on a discord called Super Backlog Bros (although admittedly I’m not active on it) and they have a series of knockout polls over the month to choose games for the subsequent month. Personally I have kids and am halfway through FF6, so that’s me for a while. But I like the idea of a community playthrough.
What about one or two regular weekly threads perhaps? e g. “New Pickup Monday”?
Indeed. And that’s not even taking account those discs are much harder to get a hold of and/or more expensive than the Gameboy Player itself!
