This Is Dominique. She’s One Of My Best Friends Of Over 20 Years. Please Help Me Bring Her Home To

obtaining roms:

edge emulation (missing some consoles; CD-based games come in compressed formats such as CHD; very fast DL speed)

myrient (pretty much everything, no strings attached; fast DL speed)

cdromance (mostly has games for CD-based consoles; games come in uncompressed iso or bin/cue; has a lot of pre-patched rom hacks; medium-fast DL speed)

planetemu (largely in french; has a lot of obscure titles other sites lack; very fast DL speed)

alvro collection spreadsheet (pretty much everything, including many newer consoles; slightly inconvenient to navigate; download site has timer and limits to 1 download every 30 mins, can be worked around with vpn; inconsistent medium-to-very-fast DL speed)

script that lets you download from emuparadise post-shutdown (pretty much everything; inconsistent medium-to-very-fast DL speed; can occasionally be uncooperative)

ROMs Megathread/Archive (everything, really; slow DL speed; usually a last resort if you can't find something anywhere else)

i don't currently recommend Vimm's Lair due to very slow speeds, download limits, and offering nothing that isn't on other sites (unless you need prepatched xiso format Xbox roms)

console-focused sites:

HShop (all 3DS. very complete, easy to navigate. has qr codes for direct download from 3ds; yes, the qr codes are safe; fast dl speed)

MarioCube (focused on GameCube/Wii and has everything you'll ever need for those platforms; requires joining a google group for standard roms but it takes like 2 clicks; very fast dl speed)

NoPayStation (practically every PS3/PSP/Vita game and update, downloaded directly from sony's servers; fast dl speed)

sites offering switch and other modern games get shut down very frequently so i won't be linking them in order to keep this post from getting outdated, but you can find them if you snoop around reddit (the switchpirates sub in particular) a little

romsets:

Cylum's Romsets (my personal favorite - not fully complete sets but heavily curated, so no going through a million revisions of the same game)

for 1fichier directories, you can use a tool like 1fichier-dl to download in bulk. i'd recommend doing this on the alvro collections if you want more complete sets.

softmodding and loading roms on some popular consoles:

Switch

Wii

3DS, Vita, Wii U

PS2

PSP

recommended emulators and emulation guides:

Emulation General Wiki

netplay:

wanna play with your friends online?

fightcade covers nes, genesis, pc engine, dreamcast, and snes along with a variety of arcade boards from capcom, snk, sega, and konami. playstation is incoming. all platforms on it have rollback netcode.

mednafen covers psx, saturn, pc engine cd and sega cd, and i find its snes performance better personally. delay-based netcode with server structure. here's a pre-packed version with a gui included and here's a netplay guide i largely wrote myself.

other than that, dolphin is naturally used for gamecube/wii, and project64 with the AQZ netplay plugin is used for N64.

games are great. go play some games.

Reaaaally struggling with funds rn so I'm opening some 2 character sketch commissions for $25 each. We can discuss prices if u want extra charas! Please DM/comment if you are interested.

This is such an adorable concept for a species based around stars! 💫 I like how their magic cloths and celestial ribbons grow along with them and they become more colourful and fancy, and that they rely on each other to grow up properly! I’d love to see more of them in any sort of creative medium.

Also, I wonder what the elderly look like and if they live as long as and die like regular stars do? And if they do to supernova, do their remains create the next generation of star children?

the um !! some random oc species biology (?) stuff

EMERGENCY Help Elton and Max Get Moved, organized by Elton Manbeck

Hello, thanks for taking the time to look at our page today. My partner Max and I… Elton Manbeck needs your support for EMERGENCY Help Elton

Please consider reblogging or donating, I would really appreciate any time you give this 🙏

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, so I’m opening up comissions!✨✨ You can contact me at petitepumpkinart at gmail.

opened blender (uh oh) bc I wanted to test hand painting a fishy but realised I would prefer to do it a different way so didn't bother finishing the fins

Signed prints. PWYW $10+ signed prints on archival paper with matte finish. If a print you want is sold out, check the following week. The demand has been really high and for the time being I need to watch my paper stock lol but I do refresh the quantity after shipment, this will not be removed.

PWYW license (feel free to print for yourself, make stickers, etc. I only ask the art not be edited or used for profit, or if any money is exchanged that it goes toward mutual aid or local organizations for LGBTQIA+ communities.)

Threadless tees and more (80% of my portion goes to the National Center for Transgender Equality). I'll add more later next week.

Be your own god. Happy Pride. ✌️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🖤

Commissions are open!
