This site has been a great source of news about all things retrogaming.
I support them on patreon now and hope they will make it through!

Some of their articles are a bit quirky, with the writing style suffering from occasional diversions which may even turn into rant or two. But I find this somewhat endearing rather than annoying. It conveys that they love doing what they've been doing.

It honestly breaks my heart to write this article,
but I want to be as transparent as possible with
our readers because you are the ones that have quite
literally kept our lights on over the past five years,
and you deserve to know the truth about what’s happening
behind the scenes, so here it is.
Retro Dodo is on the brink of collapse… because of Google.

Got the set 👍 in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

I bought all the GBA FF games off eBay and only received counterfeit ones :-/ At least the ones I got don't have batteries in them. Saving makes the games freeze for a small time but other than that they are working.

Completed the FF V GBA counterfeit on a DS lite. Ended up playing through the DS versions of III and IV, also off eBay, which do not seem to be fakes fortunately.
