Emulation (lemmy.world)
submitted 8 months ago by Tekkip20@lemmy.world to c/games@lemmy.world

What are your favourite games to relive your nostalgia on what emulator? I used to play the hell out of Monkeyball on gamecube so I enjoy using Dolphin for that or Mario Sunshine.

Emulation has given me a wide backlog of great titles to play in the midst of "AAA" sludge.

What's your impression on emulation? What is your favourite thing about it?

Cheers!

Ship of Harkinian is not technically emulation, but a full port of Ocarina of Time. And is totally awesome. It has tons of quality of life improvements and enhancements. It also has a built in randomizer so it has infinite replayability.

Yup. I've been doing a yearly randomizer of Oot for several years. It's really comfort food for me.

Also, there a build of SoH that runs on a hacked switch so I can play it from the couch :)

Is there somewhere to read what those changes are? Their home page just says some general stuff. I play a lot of alttp randomizer but oot always spooked me because it's such a bigger game.

Tried looking for a full feature list, couldn't find any. Makes sense, tho, because it would probably be massive.

I've tried SoH before, and my favourite features are 60 FPS gameplay and gyro aiming. It also has a bunch of enhancements like time savers (faster test speed, "Better Owl", time travel using the Song of Time, etc.), alternate assets (= mod support!), bunch of fixes and cut gameplay restoration. If you stream, it also has Crowd Control support. It even has a co-op mode now lol. As for the randomizer stuff, it has an item and check tracker, and a lot of settings for it.

I recommend you just check it out yourself or, alternatively, watch some video on YT that goes more in-depth on the features
