i know i lost a bunch of seconds throughout the race, but i was pleased about getting pretty much all the boosts.
i remember when i first tried this race, and i thought the 2:30 goal set for the quest would be impossible for me.
its 90s aesthetic is what drew me in, but it's actually functionally good.
i think the microsoft mouse it's decent, but feels too lightweight somehow. it also feels kind of 90s but not as much.
this is a paid review, in that i paid for both of these products lol (that was a joke that makes no sense)

I own nothing and am just an admirer of this classic tune. When I got this game by accident (it came with my copy of Windows 98), I was instantly struck by it, and let it loop on the opening screen. I have also always been a big fan of the Windows XP Out Of Box Experience installation music (more like out of body experience) and for many years no one knew Stan LePard composed it. I was also surprised to learn he composed for Hexic, a game I played because it was free on Xbox 360, and I recall how the music created the atmosphere. There are many other works I'm not yet familiar with but are someone else's favorite.
I didn't really know what I was doing when creating this loop, and I'm not sure my methods were sound. Someone else can probably do it better, but here is my humble attempt.
Tools used: Audacity, FFmpeg
also, for many years i always thought edelweiss was a traditional folk song, because it was presented as such in the film. but, it was actually an original song made just for the sound of music. neat trick

after following the directions to create a play disk, instead of going back to the game, strange sounds break the silence forming an unsettling song composed by machine. i think the final notes hold for eternity, but i fade out after 7 minutes (shortly after the music stops "moving"). in the last semblance of normalcy, legible words indicate the play diskette i sought out has been produced, as is routine, but a scattering of glyphs on-screen with no way to exit tell a different story.

if you're reading this, hi, this is a song i made
I remember Blink's first album is called Chesire Cat. I guess that isn't really related to this, sorry. Also, I noticed just now wikipedia always refers to Blink-182 with hyphen. It looks strange to me even if that's the correct nomenclature, so I will not be doing that.
PS. "What's My Age Again?" is by Blink 182 and I do not own the copyright, this video is for educational and/or entertainment only. Protected under fair use. I don't know if saying that helps anything, but I see people write that sort of thing.

also, i meant to film continuously, but i think it stopped around 4 gigabytes, i started a new recording when i realized this, but lost a few minutes.

this isn't a comprehensive guide, it's sort of like getting vague driving directions from someone who doesn't really know the area.
also, at the time that this guide was posted there is still no official retropie build for raspberry pi 4. if you're from the future, you may not want to use the guide.
but the main thing to do is install mednafen and mednaffe
sudo install apt mednafen mednafe
or
sudo install apt-get mednafen mednafe
every guide involving installing things will tell you to update and upgrade first, but i won't i'm not your father or god
when you have it installed, you can see it in the start menu and just play around with it.
i think you'll figure it out, at least partially.
one thing i ran into was if i tried to assign controller keys in the GUI, they wouldn't work in-game, but then i found out in-game you can hit shift+alt+1 to configure keys...
one weird thing in that is they make you enter the same button twice in order to continue to the next thing. also they seem to force you to sign rapid-mode buttons, so if you ran out of buttons on your controller, just put something on your keyboard.
anyway, the fun you will have trying to get this set up, might be more than the actual games, depending on what game you want to play.
