  • My understanding is that most cheats for retro consoles are a memory location plus a value to write in that location.

    I believe that’s how the “game genie” worked on nes, snes, and OG game boy. Have you tried entering some game genie/game shark codes in the RA cheats for your core?

    It’s been a while since I used cheats on RA other than save states and rewind but I know I’ve gotten them working before (years ago) on snes



  • Fake-08 development trails PICO-8 so it’s possible your Fake-08 version is out of date, the cart is made with a newer PICO-8 version, or the cart is just plain incompatible with Fake-08 (many carts do not work with Fake-08).

    I have a couple handhelds like yours and the official raspberry pi PICO-8 build works great on them - I suggest you get a PICO-8 license and check your distribution’s documentation to learn where to place the raspberry pi PICO-8 binary in the filesystem.













  • IMHO yes. It is among my favorite games of all time.

    The plot is of course nonsense (all far cry plots are garbage), but the core gameplay loop is tight, the shooting feels good and there’s a diverse arsenal, you get a large selection of colorful sidekicks and animal companions, the most annoying mechanics of earlier titles in the franchise were fixed or removed in 5, and the entire campaign can be played coop after you escape from tutorial Island.

    It doesn’t take itself too seriously but it’s also a internally consistent rural Montana simulator. Stealth mechanics feel great (subjective ofc) but more aggressive strategies work well too. The base game has plenty of content and goes on sale frequently.

    It was everything I loved about FC3 but more of it and bigger and polished to a radiant shine, with a kitschy rural US setting.
