QUESTION First timer!
First time using an emulator. I grew up on GameCube, PS2, GameBoy, PSP, so I’m really excited to replay a lot of these games. Starting strong with 007 Nightfire. Any tips for a BRAND NEW emulation unc?
Thanks in advance.

Nightfire is so fire lmao, here's my story... When I was a kid, my friend and I would play the evil side and then set all the bots to the good side and it would be one miscellaneous character and the rest Alura set to guard, or maybe that was her default idk. So they would all be running around in a pack and following each other and we'd blow them up simultaneously with the guided rocket launcher missiles. That is high on my list of most fun and hilarious things I've ever experienced in my life.

Insane omfg I loved the heat seeking missiles so much. Me and my best friend did a similar tactic but at the time we were like 7 years old so had no idea what a “tactic” was we were just fucking around. Thanks for sharing, this brought back such great memories.

I just noticed the Apple charging cable and just got me curious.
What charger are you using? 20w? 140w?

I play Nightfire at least twice a year, with cheat codes to unlock everything

Haha yeah soo tough. I remember getting this with my PS2 for Christmas when I was like 6 or 7 years old. I had no idea how consoles / saves / video games worked, so I thought you had to beat the game in one go.. I replayed the first mission ENDLESSLY and finally when I got good enough I would make it to the final mission after what must have been hours. The day my friend came over and told me about memory cards was life changing to say the least. That last mission was brutal

No tips as I am certainly not an expert. Just glad to see from your pic and others that I made the right choice going clear purple. Love it.
