Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of the Nintendo DS! Did you know that Nintendo planned to advertise the DS in bars? Or that the DS had an official emulator? (It's not very good) All these facts and more on my blog that I'm definitely going to make I swear.

An IS-NITRO-EMULATOR connected to a laptop that is debugging a demo that displays "Happy 20th Anniversary to the Nintendo DS!" on the top screen, It is currently stopped at a breakpoint.

I just discovered that Nintendo straight up referenced the IS Nitro Emulator in the Chirpy Chips (ABXY) album art in Splatoon 2

A close-up screenshot of the Chirpy Chips (ABXY) album art from Splatoon 2, A Nintendo DS sits in front of a purple box with a black fin sticking out of the top. It looks unmistakably like a IS Nitro Emulator.

Oh wow, my film didn't get ruined by airport security, here are some of my favorite photos:

A photograph of several buildings along a street with brick facades

A photograph of an art installation in Pittsburgh International Airport called "Fraley's Robot Repair", In the center of the "Repair shop" is a large robotic arm that is being repaired. In the front is a robot attempting to hang christmas lights from a ladder, however the robot has fallen from the ladder. It has a sad face.

A photograph of a very small snowman made up of a large base and very small head with no middle portion. They have very thin twigs for arms and have small pieces of a twig as eyes and a mouth. They also have the first sprout of a plant sticking out of the center of their head. They seem contempt.

A photograph of a table with unopened cans of Pringles surrounding a piece of paper that reads "Pringles Live In Your Heart" There is a single can of Lay's Stax to the right, among the rest of the Pringles.

I'm running a game designed for the M68K CPU, Which is being dynamically recompiled to run on PPC, all under an emulation layer to run Classic macOS on OS X. Why can you do this?
