Bold assumption to think that I have a Neogeo pocket color. (I'm broke)

Fun part, since I've made each stylus for each system, the icons are all unique. There shouldn't be (I hope) duplicates.

I have a dell laptop with that port too. Upgraded my CD drive to a CD/DVD combo drive

Pokemon Sapphire/Emerald/Ruby/Leaf Green/Fire Red were my goto especially for grinding. From sound and memorization along you can play pokemon without looking... Or at least I could.

Zelda Oracle of Ages is another game which I found calming. Its more puzzle than combat, but there is still combat. Not goof got meeting but good for afterwards.

The GBC Harry Potter games or Prisoner of Azkaban are fun RPGs that I played before Pokemon. A fun time too, and can almost be played under a desk (don't ask how I know)

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, rogue like endless(ish) dungeon crawler. Amazing story, but the post game is just a grind perfect for fiddling as you are just doing the same thing for 99 levels... Until you find the boss. Better on DS with Blue rescue team, but red on GBA is a good choice.

Outside of mega man battle network, the rest of my games are platformers which don't fit the bill

My desktop is now unplugged, I am too terrified to plug it back in. Send help

At it's current pace, it might take 7.5 million years

As I said above

I have a Floppy to USB adapter inside my rig, and since my motherboard has an unused set of USB 2 headers, I just plugged it into that.

So 1 adapter and 1 usb header, and it reads it as a USB Floppy, which I believe Linux has drivers for.

The device is shown as /dev/sdd (sda is 1TB SSD, sdb is hdd#1, and sdc is hdd#2)

The drive has been making noises since yesterday and it's still not loading. I'd say I'd get back to you, but I don't think it'll load.

Honestly since the New 3DS screen is so small, the slight blurring is negligible to my eyes. So long as there isn't certificating in the image, like shimmering and or screen tearing, I don't noticed it.

My first system I could call my own (not sharing with siblings) was the fat Nintendo DS. It will always be my favourite out of nostalgia.

But my primary DS is my New 3DS, does everything want and plays everything.

For me the DS is the Pokemon machine, from the mainline series to the spin offs. Such a good time to be a fan of Pokemon. Even the knockoffs were fun like Fossil fighters.

The DS was also a good rpg power house the first system I beat Chrono Trigger on.

Then there was the slog of platformers, from new Mario bros, to license of game dubious quality, nicktoons unite anyone?

The 3DS was just an overall disappointment in comparison, game selection was limited and 3rd parties just didn’t give it the time of day. Don’t get me wrong love my 2d Zelda and Metroid revivals on it, but outside of Nintendo games, it didn’t offer me anything.

  1. Minecraft is officially supported on Linux through deb or snap here: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternative

  2. Unofficial some one packaged it up as a flatpak which can be found here: https://flathub.org/apps/com.mojang.Minecraft

  3. As for ease of mods and other things, Prismlauncher is my go to, though I primarily use it to avoid the endless login requests from MS on the base launcher.

It can also be installed officially via flat hub here: https://flathub.org/apps/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher
