My PSP battery is borked and I’d rather play on a bigger screen instead of tethered to an outlet. What’s the best way to emulate PSP games? Also, is there a way to transfer the game from my PSP memory card to my PC with my saves?
i’ve been using ppsspp for years. and all you have to do is click and drag games/save files into the proper emulator folders and they’ll work no problem.
Wow PSP emulation rules. Is there a way to download PSP games from PSN anymore?
thru a ps3 or the online store maybe?
yeah you can still get them through the ps store and not for money either if you know where to look

does anyone have an SMTP service with an effectively-free tier they like
Mailgun is raising their minimum monthly cost to $5 where we were getting it basically free up to now, and while it’s not a huge expense, it bumps the monthly sbill over $30/mo between all our various services and this feels like it should be easier to cut
Related, is there a good process for renewing a domain name through a different provider? My webhost charges double what they should but I’m not sure how to migrate the domain name.
Oh yeah that’s a relatively established practice to do a transfer, most providers should have their own documentation around it

how’s n64 emulation in 2020
it is fine at long last. Either of the major retroarch choices, either their fork of mupen64plus or parallel64 is recommended.

If Nintendo did an N64 Mini do you think they would stick with the original controller design for the Nostalgia Factor or would they redesign it because let’s face it, the three-handle design was pretty cool but was ultimately a bit gratuitous

They surely would keep it because brand identity, but they also should keep it because, for the N64 games that actually exist, it’s the best controller. You’ll only ever use one of d-pad and analog stick in a given game. The trident lets them each be in the same position relative to the thumb, something that’s compromised in two-pronged designs.

Yeah, they’d keep it, but would they include any games that actually use the Dpad?
The n64 controller situation is such a huge mess
- It’s not the best controller
- Modern dual analogs are not suitable replacements
- They need the three prongs to capitalize on the nostalgia
Something like the Hori Pad Mini would be good. An Analog Saturn pad might work (lol), so might the Duke or the XBPadS (most likely not tho). I liked the 3rd party controllers w/ the DPad and Analog w/n reach of the left thumb, but it was useless as far as actual-games-made-for-the-n64.
I would actually really love a modern Hori Pad Mini w/ the analog in the middle, double shoulder buttons on both sides, and regular sized Camera buttons. But this is probably not the thread for my hypothetical controller design.
Hyperkin and Retrobit both have takes on these. (I couldn’t find an 8bitdo one?)

I always found GC controllers to be an effective replacement for first party games with the exception of the Z placement - needs to be remapped to L.
If a game actually used the C buttons beyond occasional actions it wouldn’t work.
obligatory mention that hyperkin abuses/violates software licenses and their products aren’t particularly good either
i just realized retro-bit shows up on that page with some questionable behavior too, hm

If there is not even Mischief Makers on this thing then what is the actual point?
