GBA games are being released on PC.
And that's the tip of the iceberg, console games are being released on PC, sony exclusive games are being released on competitor's consoles. As an older guy, this ♥♥♥♥ is a miracle and makes me happy to have lived to see the unthinkable.

I know! I saw MMZX collection on steam, which was discounted from £24 to £16, and I thought "I never got to finish some of those games years ago and I don't even have most of them. BUY IT NOW." Was very pleased! £16 for 6 games?? How can anyone say no to that!?

Exactly my feelings too, makes me happy to see more people enjoy these and that they aren't stuck on older platforms anymore. I still have my GBA copies though!

Technically it's 6 DS games ported to PC. The Zero games were originally released on GBA, but they later got ported to DS for the original Zero Collection, and those are the versions that got ported to modern systems in this collection, with a few additional enhancements and bug fixes. The collection overall isn't perfect and could do with some additional features and bugfixes, but overall this is the definitive way to play all six games so far, especially with mods.

What bugs me is the Zero games all have proper pixel scaling, but the ZX games don't and you have to manually change resolution if you want the pixels to all be the right size across the screen. Even then, the "touch screen" will still be wrong. What's the point of implementing it properly for the first four games and then not the final two?

It seems bleak at the moment but I am still hoping for another patch that fixes further issues with the collection that are still in such as this.
