Rofl , of all oldies it certainly aint something i'd miss

daggertoes834348d ago

So will using this disable trophies?

Double_O_Revan4348d ago

Doubt it. This will be a kind of work around for saves. Reading the description, it only looks to be a Save Editor, not a cheat device. So there's no cause for disabling trophies. You still have to unlock the trophies yourself.

kamruk4348d ago

The question is if editing saves will disable trophies, which would work or if they'd mess everything up and get people banned. A simple god mode could ruin so much

DragoonsScaleLegends4348d ago

so its just for saves? or is it like a code breaker or game shark that mods the game.

kamruk4348d ago

it cant actually alter the discs so it edits the save files to modify the code that's loaded up

Neko_Mega4348d ago

Freaking sweet if it is true, I hope it supports PSN games. But the download Red Alert 3 game is a pain to beat.

cr33ping_death4348d ago

who ruins their experience with this?? i never understood why people used this on the nes

daggertoes834348d ago

Once ive beat a game it is fun to go back into a game and dominate With some cheats. Replaying that hard boss again with cheats and kickin his butt because he gave you such a hard time before. FUN!!

KwietStorm_BLM4348d ago

A lot of us didn't give a damn when we were kids. Things like infinite ammo and infinite lives was just cool. You were unstoppable. I don't use any kind of cheats today.

cr33ping_death4348d ago

yeah, i remember going to a friends house when i was younger and he had it, watching him play mega man 3 with the cheats i was like "wow..that is so much easier" lol.

kamruk4348d ago

There's a great series on Screwattack, let me check... http://www.screwattack.com/... This is only one of them, but if shows you how some cheats are just banal and fun to try out :D I miss the fact that games these days simply dont have cheat codes, not to make things easer, but to fool around.

Aka hyperkin has remade the Sega nomad.
Hyperkin does what Sega don't

Sgt_Slaughter107d ago (Edited 107d ago )

I'd have to wait to see performance, because if this is just another rom dump-to-emulation type Hyperkin device then hard pass. The quality of their products are severely hit-or-miss.

Also, unsure why they picked a 16:9 screen yet again when every game plays in 4:3. There are plenty of emu-handhelds that have quality screens in the original aspect ratio.

Profchaos106d ago

So I've got clarification on the screen it'll go between 4:3 and 16:9 with a toggle but yeah I get what you mean it does look like a 16:9 screen.

Also doesn't appear to be a emulation device runs native carts. But also I guess you could just load up a everdrive and play anything on it.

Neil writes: "Created in collaboration with Xbox and 343 Industries, the team at Hyperkin has announced that they'll be releasing some rather tasty Limited and Special Edition Duke controllers, with the Cortana Limited Edition being the utter highlight - and you don't need us to tell you that it is an absolute purple beast."

Very cool. I have the green duke they made and will gladly pick up these.

Magog945d ago

I forgot how awkwardly placed all those buttons were.

Vits945d ago

Still one of my favorites controllers overall. Extremely comfortable for my hands.Unfortunately the Hyperskin version is ridiculously expensive in my region. To the point that you can actually get yourself a Xbox Series controller and a Dual Sense for the same price.

VenomUK945d ago (Edited 945d ago )

@Vits For me, no way! When playing Halo at a friend's the Duke was always unwieldily big. I didn't buy my original Xbox at launch I bought it when it had the refined smaller controllers, and they were great. It's funny to think how the designed was refined and then went next level with the 360 controller.

Vits945d ago

Totally fair.
I know very few that share my like for this controller. And the 360 is still one of my go to controllers for a lot of PC games. It's a shame that finding an original one in good condition is so difficult these days.

darthv72945d ago

I enjoyed the duke as well, then again I have large hands. When the S controller came out, it didnt take much to get used to it (except the placement of the b/w buttons) but Id say 360 was their magnum opus.

medman945d ago

I really like the design....well done.

Hyperkin celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Xbox Classic with a refresh of Duke

Duke is without a doubt one of the most recognizable video game characters, designed with American video game players in mind because of his “big hands,” and then reduced in size to appeal to Japanese audiences.
