The Humble Store Debut Sale

Those of you who have read my last post on the Humble Bundle already know how much love I have for their particular way of doing business. After all, how many businesses lay out exactly where your money goes this clearly with a charity being supported quite generously to boot?

From their own page:

Here’s where your Humble Store dollars go*: 10% Charity, 75% Creator, 15% Humble Tip."

Their description:

What is the Humble Store?

Fantastic prices.
The Humble Store will have many more games than could possibly fit in a Humble Bundle, but still with fantastic limited-time discounts.

Get your games and contribute to awesome causes.
Here’s where your Humble Store dollars go*: 10% Charity, 75% Creator, 15% Humble Tip.

Just a few hours in and they've already amassed over $21,000 and still counting. This is with games that I've personally never heard of. As usual, they are clearly marked if they are multi-platform like so:

Steam, Mac, Windows, Linux AND it's DRM free? How much "Win" can one product have?

To make it clear, I have no affiliation with this company. I just have a ton of respect for how they have conducted their business and am sharing it with the rest of you. Until next time readers!

Drastic - The Nintendo DS emulator for Android

Phoenix Wright on the 3DS on the left and Nexus 5 on the right In the last decade, the power that has become available to mobile devices has grown at an amazing pace. Games that were once only available on high end arcade systems or the latest consoles are now playable on devices that fit in your pocket. Loading up games like Need for Speed, Horn, Shadowgun, Final Fantasy, or even Grand Theft Auto show that mobile gaming has come a long way in a short time. Enter the Nintendo DS, a dual screened mobile system that was released in November 2004 that rendered 3D games and featured a resistive touch screen as well as an impressive game library. Surely, such a recent system should be difficult to emulate on mobile phones, right? With Drastic, the NDS emulator on android, the answer is "NO." Drastic is a full speed Nintendo DS emulator that is currently priced at $5.99 on the Google Play store. There is also a free demo that allows gaming sessions for 3...

Final Fantasy III Android Updated: Now with Cloud saves and Controller Support

Lifesperience is now Raycommend, which can be found here: Ray Commend Like the headline says, Square Enix finally updated Final Fantasy 3 with Cloud Saves, as well as support for many physical controllers. After booting up the updated game on my Nexus 5, I was greeted with the new and very blue cloud save icon on the top right of my screen. In case that you missed it, the cloud save icon is on the top right of the screen. I started a new game and played just enough to defeat the first boss of the game, and once in the overworld, I saved my file and tested the cloud save system. Afterwards, I quit my game, and logged onto my Nexus 7. The cloud save menu is simple but functional Once the game booted up on my Nexus 7, I once again pressed the Cloud Save icon and was able to continue from my save file. The interesting thing about this system is that it does not use Google Play games. It will instead upload to your Google drive ...

Retron 5 hacked to launch RetroArch and play ROMS off your SD card

It appears that a someone going by the screenname of RetroN Labo on Youtube has successfully hacked the Retron 5 console to run the full version of Retroarch. In the video shown, various emulators that are not part of the original firmware are playable including the PC Engine, Playstation One, Nintendo DS, and Wonderswan. As the stock firmware from the Retron 5 is programmed to load games from an original cartridge when it is inserted, this hack appears to run ROM and ISO files, most likely from the SD card slot built into the back of the console. In most of instances shown in the video, emulation appeared to run smooth, and the games previewed looked playable. Currently, Hyperkin (Retron 5 manufacturer) is in hot water with Retroarch's creators due to using their emulator cores without permission. After being discovered, Hyperkin has shared their code, and claims that they have removed any infringing code from their console. ...
