the modretro chromatic is so funny to me, what do you mean a warmonger is selling pixel-accurate FPGA gameboys. what timeline do we live in.

shameful confession: i've never used docker in my life. i just have four hundred quadrillion packages on my system at all times.

i propose a new form of freeware called "beeware". it's very similar to the concept of freeware, except by launching the software you also become legally responsible somewhere between a few dozen to a couple of thousands bees.

if you want to experience the "these games were clearly not designed for LCDs" problem in action, play something like Parappa the Rapper / Um Jammer Lammy (the PSX versions not the PSP ones) or PSX DDR, they rely on near-pixel-perfect accuracy that you can't get with the average LCDs latency

faith void. @battleangelalice.bsky.social · Sep 15

like i legit realized the biggest reason i hated NES/SNES/PSX or other CRT-based console emulation was the combination of added input latency on LCDs that can't truly be mitigated, and the fact that pixel art of that era looks terrible on modern displays. a CRT immediately fixes all of that. :)

faith void. @battleangelalice.bsky.social · Sep 15

honestly i'm a huge fan of FPGA consoles, the older i get the less "purist" i become about emulation, since these days projects like FPGAs, new retro handhelds, or even an RPi connected to a CRT with the right controllers gets the average user like, 95-99% of the way towards a "pure" experience.

also modern-day handhelds are shockingly good, even budget models. i got my miyoo mini for like $57 and every LCD-based handheld game i've thrown at it works flawlessly, input latency feels 1:1 on GB games (compared to my DMG) and i get modern QoL features like a backlight and savestates!

it's wild that you can buy a brand-new FPGA gameboy for like. $140 CAD all-in with a backlit screen. but it's like. $120 to buy a decent GBC and then another like $100+ to do all the mods you'd want to modernize it (like a backlit screen, usb-c charging + li-on battery, etc)

Your clock capacitor is nothing, it serves zero purpose. You should remove your clock capacitor NOW and NOT give somebody else a piece of that PowerStor AeroGel in that cap.

here's sakuraDisplay (my SH1106-based RetroPie OLED display) in action! part 1 of my building my dream custom retro console is basically done now, sans some optimizations and additional stress testing :) it works with any game system with valid scraped data!

latest lil experiment: made an SH1106-based display for RetroPie that displays the current system, game, current media information, system/network information, and possibly more! :)

console fun fact of the day: the snes, nintendo 64 and gamecube all use the exact same video cable :)

System requirements
Minimum: Dirt cup
Recommended: NASA space age supercomputer

a webpage section titled "System requirements"
it shows "Minimum" with a "CPU" of "Intel Core 2 Duo", "OS" of "Windows 7 or modern Linux", and "RAM" of "4 GB". next to it it shows "Recommended" with a "CPU" of "AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D", "OS" of "Windows 11 or modern Linux", and "RAM" of "16 GB"

today's cortanaOS updates: automatically pulling Insignia and XLink Kai player counts, events and statistics on startup!

being a web developer and discovering bootstrap is really funny because it's really cool for like a month and then you realize you've spent more time fucking around with someone else's website than you would've spent just making your own from the ground up

the PSP is a very tough platform to navigate but. i've been making progress on a Discord Rich Presence launcher for PSP! (i'm in the process of attempting to convert it into a .PRX plugin instead but it's incredible hard to get it not to crash at the lightest breeze)

i've been a busy beaver :)

yes that's right, sakuraPresence has built-in RPCN, Insignia AND XLink Kai info display support for applicable consoles! :)

people who complain about open-source devs not updating as frequently as they'd like are funny as fuck. my brother in christ you're getting this software for free, either pay the developer to work on it, work on it yourself, or shut the fuck up. it's truly that simple.
