Okay, so the gamepad is a ds4, but with a button layout of xbox, but with a different color pattern? If confusion was the goal, mission accomplished.

Takashi Iwai at it again

So what happened to the videos? How did you get them, but didn't? They go corrupted or not recorded at all?

Additional taxes on companies that only produce closed systems would incentivize a change, especially in something benign like entertainment sector. You've purchased electronic waste, with some entertainment hours/days sprinkled around it. You can't do much with it, despite the tech possibilities.

Have someone else take a look at it. It might be something so obvious you won't see it for quite some time.

Have you used LLMs for analyze it? gemini-cli comes to mind, `$ export GEMINI_API_KEY=xxx; nix run nixpkgs\#gemini-cli` in the directory.

Alternatively step back for a week from it.

Tested*. Point is to not destroy the connection altogether. Depending how they assembled it, it can very well go South in an instance. Best of luck and maybe share the progress. Would be interesting to see.

Again, not sure how it looks inside. I assume you've tried the flex cable connections and they all work. From the internals images I saw, that would be what I would try. Question is which side is more likely to have misalignment (I would bet on PCB side, unless it's clamped down by some metal).

Have you tried gently pressuring the connection rubber into place? The display is lost regardless.

Nice. What's the music?

This looks illegal

Do you have any blog posts about taking this particular approach maybe?

Okay, and have you looked into nixos for that? It ought to allow you to run multiple versions simultaneously.

You're not using virtualization for that? Wouldn't it make more sense to run optimized binaries to produce machine code faster?

Well, it ought to have same packages, just optimized for modern machines. I'm wondering what limitations there are.

But of course, if it works for you that's great.

Okay, that's acceptable. Have you tried CachyOS?

Nix?
