Hey wavemotion, first off I just wanted to say thank you for your amazing work on emulating older consoles for the DSi and 3DS. But I have a question will you ever decide to make an emulator for the Sharp X68000?
Since you're a veteran of the 6502 (Or at least I think you are), I've been wondering...would you ever work on FrodoDS? The first version was...mildly functional at best, but it was revived recently and there's a GitHub page. I'm sure you'd be able to turn it into an amazing emulator like XEGS-DS
I don't know if your thirst to polish ColecoDS even further will ever end (Not like I mind it, you've done and still doing a lot to make it an amazing emulator), but do you have any interest in tackling 3DS programming? Aside from also being an ARM handheld I've heard it's much more difficult to program for, but the extra resolution and better sound hardware might help a ton for 8-bit and 16-bit emulators alike
I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.
I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet
Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
