... Play multiple games at a time? or just one?
I personally play one game at a time. If I played another game, I might like that more and forget about the old game.
Also, I forget the story.

How about you?

One game at a time. However, if it's a game which I play in short bursts (racing games etc) I would switch a little here and there.

Multiple unless it's a really good game.
Tales games always make me neglect any other game I may have been playing at the time.

I'm similar - I'll play one game for a short while, then play another next time... although sometimes I may play fa single game for a while (until I get bored with it) - then it's back to the old system of 'a little bit here...a little bit there'

Right now I am only playing the Phoenix Wright games. Currently working my way through Justice for All. I wish a patch for Soul Silver would come as I will be dedicating a large amount of time to that agme.

I have more than the attention span of a goldfish, I can cope with multiple games/storylines in flight at once (often switching to another game/activity helps clear the mind for puzzle-solving in the original)

If it's a really good game I'll play only it until I get stuck (I only go to walkthroughs when I get stuck or want to make sure I didn't miss something optional), but most of the time I work through multiple games at a time.

This way I don't get bored about aspects of them (such as repetitive battles) nearly as quickly, I end up enjoying it a bit more than if I had played through it all in one shot.

This can backfire, though. If I come back too much later I may totally suck at the battle system, or I may be lost and not know where to go, unless the game has one of those journal-type systems to let you know of your progress and such. I vowed that if I ever made an RPG or general type of game requiring learning/progress, I'd stick a journal system in there, 'cause I really hate coming back to a game, and thinking I might as well start back from the beginning.

This, definitely. I dislike getting frustrated on pizzles. ^^;

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
