    Should i get a steam deck?

    1) What's the spec of your current PC? 2) Do you struggle to play the games you want to play on your PC? 3) Are you interested in handheld PC gaming? I say the latter because if you just want a more powerful system than what you own and considering you think the £349 is expensive, there may be...

    "You're gonna see more of our games on more platforms" -Phil Spencer

    Problem is, entering the console market is neither cheap or easy. That's likely why most new 'consoles' within the last decade or so have been based on pre-existing platforms like Android (e.g. Ouya, Shield, Fire TV, etc.) or PC (e.g. Atari and I suppose Steam Deck OOtB). Not sure if Evercade...

    "You're gonna see more of our games on more platforms" -Phil Spencer

    I doubt Nintendo will go MP anytime soon, not unless something happens like the Switch 2 flops, their flagship IP start to tank sales wise and/or development costs become too excessive. Even if they do, I have no doubt they'd screw it up somehow e.g. always online DRM, like they did with their...

    Modders hint at potential kernel exploit hack for Xbox One consoles

    Might be worth creating a new account to download this and delete any 'good' accounts. I won't be surprised if MS flags any accounts/consoles which downloads this app, even if they don't immediately ban them.

    USA SNES and Super Famicom power questions

    On my Super Famicom I use an original UK Mega Drive power supply. Don't know if these are different on mainland Europe (other than the pins of course).

    Hacking Xeno Chip audio stutter and disc red error

    Does this happen with official discs? Does the error happen regardless of where you are in the game (e.g. leave on the menu for half an hour then load a new game?) Is the console well ventilated? If you immediately restart the console/game does it still error? Two potential areas I can think...

    The founder of Oculus is releasing a $199 FPGA Game Boy system

    I can't tell for sure, but it looks like analog uses a switch: https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/fxcSiQP1BjSjAWx1.huge

    The founder of Oculus is releasing a $199 FPGA Game Boy system

    The GBA uses a physical switch to detect GB/C games and the carts use different voltages. So if they don't include that switch/voltage support at launch, either it would need an adapter, ROM support or maybe jerry rig something using a GBA flash cart.

    What do you get out of a cheap Dreamcast to SD card adapter?

    I only got one a few years back because I wanted to backup my VMU saves, that said, I agree they're poorly made **** made worse by the snot glue. I said I got one, but it was actually 2 as the first one was buggered and I couldn't attempt a fix thanks to the aforementioned glue.

    PlayStation State of Play May 2024 showcase - God of War: Ragnarok coming to PC

    Has anyone tried using one of those basic steam client DRM crackers with a Sony PSN required title (I don't know if they're still a thing)? Asking because I'm curious if this is also some kind of rudimentary DRM.

    Things you have fixed/modded recently

    What device do you have? Are you able to at least boot to a live environment and most things 'just work'? I ask because Mint worked fine on my parent's Linx 1010b but on my personal cheap Atom tablets things didn't work e.g. touchscreen. To boot to a live environment, just create a USB drive...

    Help with Apple Id

    This isn't always true, I've have encountered some devices which are now more restricted than they once were. IIRC there was one customer with a Nokia that managed to lock themselves out. I tried doing a factory reset on the device via recovery but no luck.

    Anbernic announces the RG Cube retro gaming handheld

    I wonder if the NPU could be used for something which doesn't just taint the feature due to potential spyware? For example, on the fly texture scaling, on the fly translations, better bots for playing MP games offline, etc?

    Compiling Github code?

    I'd rather devs just supply binaries where possible, especially if they're aimed at a general audience and don't absolutely require it e.g. rom hacks. I know this thought will annoying certain individuals/groups (I'm not joking), but relying on the source code IMO is otherwise only meaningful...

    Samsung Imposes Questionable Rules on Independent Repair Shops

    Whose the number one? Apple? I say that because they are the bigger PITA from my experience due to the 'icloud must be disabled' policy when we get returns/send stuff away, made more annoying if the customer is also a PITA who refuses to accept that we have to abide by this policy before...
