    Hello and welcome! This is a genuine community and I hope your experiences here are as positive as mine.

    Retro With Marco returns for Episode 46! Join me on Twitch for a slew of scoring & speedrun shoutouts! I'll also take a quick look at a scrolling platform demo of The Wild Wood for the C64. Also: No Christmas decorations! (We can wait until after Thanksgiving 🦃) https://twitch.tv/retrowithmarco See you then!

    It doesn't look like I'll be able to get in on the current Challenge for Elevator Action. I'll likely wait for the next game to see whether I jump in. I'll have more time; the EverythingC64 Forum Challenge this month is Boulder Dash and I was never really good at that game.

     

    If you have a few minutes to spare today around 3pm ET, then I would welcome your presence on my Twitch channel for the replay of my show. It even features VHS footage! (Not mine, but there is VHS footage. Really lol.)

    I didn't have time to post the live stream of my show so I'm just going to post the replay time here. Episode 45 of Retro With Marco featured some news scoring and speedrun records, along with an update on the Intellivision Virtual Expo and a look a the Milton Bradley MBX peripheral for the TI 99/4A computer. I'll be in the chat tomorrow providing additional commentary on the show! https://twitch.tv/retrowithmarco

    I forgot to add that I'm on Mac OS. I believe the link referenced above is Windows only, though I could be wrong. I know there is WolfMAME for Mac OS but I have to look into that one.
  7. Marco1019
    I haven't touched MAME in about a year and I totally forgot how to get it up and running lol.

    Happy Halloween! I hope you all take advantage of the extra hour later tonight. (Sure, it means it'll get dark after lunch time, but that's a small price to pay.)

     

    There's a lot of gaming going on as well! The Classic Tetris World Championship (CTWC) begins today with a new and unique format. The Kong League wraps up its month-long Head2Head competition. The European Speedrun Association (ESA) is holding their Break The Record marathon while Speedrun.com hosts their 24/7 Speedrun Variety event. In addition, RetroGamingLiveTV is sticking to the holiday theme with their Halloween Horror Marathon!

     

    Lest we forget this site which is wrapping up the latest Squad Challenge for Demon Attack!

     

    It's going to be long and fun weekend for gaming. Enjoy!

    @DegasElite I never tried the Jaguar emulation on OpenEmu. I got as far as the Playstation which worked without issues. I know there have been requests to add a C64 emulation (likely VICE since it's so popular).
  14. Marco1019
    Yes, I'm very familiar with OpenEmu for Mac as I used it for a few years. (I switched to RetroArch earlier this year now that I can finally get it running.) You can play 2600 games on OpenEmu as it runs on the Stella emulator core, (For others who may be unfamiliar, OpenEmu allows you to play several emulators in one place.
  15. Marco1019
    I'm also on Mac OS. Did you play this on Stella? If so, then which version?
  16. Marco1019
    FYI - I will play on Stella as I don't have hardware hooked up here. (Small, but nice abode.) To that end, I haven't used Stella in ages so this may take a little while lol.
  17. Marco1019
    I'll give this one a shot; someone has to finish last lol. (I'm playing Space Taxi for the EverythingC64 High Score monthly challenge & that one also ends on 10/31. Talk about a palate cleanser!)

    I just posted to the Community Calendar. I hope I adhered to the posting rules. Please contact me with any corrections or questions you may have.

     

    Also, I'd like to confirm that the calendar is in accordance with our respective time zones. I'm in CA so my show tonight would go live at 6pm PT / 9pm ET. I'm hoping those in other time zones can see it listed correctly.

    One of the greatest guitar virtuosos ever headed home today. Eddie Van Halen passed away at the age of 65. Sincerest condolences to his entire family

    If you're working from home and need a break around 3pm ET today, then stop on by my Twitch channel for the Episode 42 REPLAY of Retro With Marco! I gave some shoutouts to several new scoring and speedrun world records, and I took a look at Super Mario 64 for the Sega Dreamcast. I'll be in the chat following along.

     

    In addition, I took a quick look at Robbie Lakeman's new Donkey Kong world record....which he just so happened to beat again while I was streaming! (I learned of it after the show; you can click here for the stats on his new WR.)

      @Justin Also, is the time zone set to a particular zone or does it reflect where I'm based?

    For those who enjoy friendly high score challenges like the ones held here at atari.io, EverythingC64 also holds a monthly challenge for fun! A different game is selected from a poll and gamers then take their best shot at the high score for the month.

     

    This month's game is Jumpman by Epyx. The deadline is midnight GMT (I think; the site owner lives overseas) on August 31.

     

    September's game will be announced very soon.

     

    EverythingC64 is also on Discord so you can chat with other gamers and C64 enthusiasts.
