@@dbozgtDoom with only 2 buttons? How u change weapons? Run, strafe, open door, change weapons. Too many commands. Doom'd be hella jank on that. How use the map? Not enough pixels either. There'd have to be no health onscreen, no ammo, no keys, no map. I've seen the "Doom" tech demo on @smoorez channel, and it's a proof of concept. It's a 3d maze. Doom on the calculator blows it away. It can't even run Mario, and y'all think doom is coming. Post a link, I'd love to see doom 4 real on here.

I spent about 5 minutes learning how to play that RPG. Basically, you go into your inventory and equip an item, then you press A to activate your equipped item and enter a direction on the d-pad to use the item. Fighting usually consists of the A button then A direction then the A button then a direction. I think this is the best game on this device so far. It takes a minute to learn how to control it and to understand what the abbreviations mean, but that game works a lot better for this device since it's turn-based and not time based. The map seems to be randomly generated, and even though most of the sprites are not recognizable, they all have names.

I get the idea that in the asteroid game the "lines" are a form of radar, if you go towards the lines you get to see the asteroids. I believe i could decipher the rpg too, since it seems a very old ascii type rpg like ancient domains of mystery or similar, but to do that i would need to see more. If you can give a look at the asteroid game to see if i am right. If you want, of course.

If you want to get rid of this, simply get a ground loop isolator (they're cheap and totally worth it!) and add that inbetween the device that's causing this issue and your recording device. Keep up the awesome work!
