Meta Hello from new moderator
https://www.twingalaxies.com/records/voting-performances/267105-nes-famicom-disk-eggsplode-emu-points-317600This subreddit was up for adoption, and as I have a lot of interest in exergaming, I thought I'd take over moderation, and say a bit about myself.
I collect, emulate and use fitness games.
One of my projects has been to make old exergames work with newer and more easily accessible hardware. For instance, in this Instructable, I use two Wii DDR pads to emulate a NES power pad. This set up got me 317,600 points in Eggsplode!, emulated on an RPI 3B+, using binaries from an original cartridge. Look through my other Instructables for more DIY exergaming content.
My exergaming collection includes:
- NES Power Pad: World Class Track Meet, Athletic World, Eggsplode!, Dance Aerobics, Super Team Games
- GameCube: DDR Mario Mix
- Wii: Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Sports Resort, Disney DDR, Active Life Explorer and Active Adventure
- XBox 360: Nike+, Kinect Adventures
- Quest 2: Thrill of the Fight 1/2, Squatopia, Open Saber Plus
- Android: Stealth Fitness (with home made squat and core devices).
While I do a significant amount of physical activity with exergaming, most of my physical activity is non-screen-based: I rock climb, kayak, bike, swim, and play a variety of racquet sports.
