Yeah I couldn’t focus on modern games because of anxiety last night, so I fired up DOSbox and had a good time with doom and chopper commando

I really want a steam deck

It’s hit a pi zero 1 w in it so Atari to right up to N64, but not N64

A lot of those people are from rural areas and are afraid of cities like DC. Lmao. Source: I am From DC and now live in a rural area and my yokel coworkers thinks anything past the 66/81 interchange is a hellscape

Yeah I have a raspberry pi ‘syncthing hub’ that keeps all my devices uniform down to dot files and configs. It’s so essential. It’s so nice as well to be able to switch from my desktop to a laptop and continue coding seamlessly. Everything is ready as soon as I log to my computer. Don’t have to use any kind of service like google cloud, etc.

Omg I owned untold legends when I bought my psp at release. I loved that game but my little brother destroyed my psp like a month after I bought it with my first job. I could never remember the game’s name

Jesus Christ lol

I’ve never seen a YouTuber that actually meets that description though

I’m guessing yeah, unless they’re more costly than the PS1 because it can handle that well. I just haven’t messed with shaders much. I found this green one and kinda stuck with it. I need to do more exploring with it because I’ve had it for about 4 years now. I originally had a pi zero 1W in it, but I upgraded when the 2 came out.

I think the newest version of the case can take the pi compute module so you might have even more power with that

I don’t know, I got it for $2 at a thrift shop this weekend. It’s a compaq for sure. I got it to go with my early 90s IBM mouse. I got so excited I forgot to research it. I will definitely be doing that after work

It’s a case for a raspberry pi zero 2. It’s the retroflag GPI case.

It runs full Linux/retropie that you have to install and set up. You have to get the pi/sd card/batteries yourself. But i prefer it to the cheap TikTok ones. The support is really good and they’ve sent me spare parts

The new version can use a dock for your TV

So many sounds. Including you’ve got Mail

I’d rather just use a snap than that dumb shit.

Speaking of which, I just did a fresh install of retropie for the first time since 2023 and am sad to see there are AI features in retroarch turned on by default. Wtf. I’m playing games on a pi zero. What do I need AI for?

Handhelds are so cool. I’d love to have a game gear one day

Yeah I would never harm a beloved Gameboy. I also collect gameboys and their games. I restore them

Thank you for answering. I look forward to trying some challenges, but I’m kinda an easy difficulty gamer myself

Thanks for the explanation, I wasn’t completely sure how it worked because it seems magical. I tried my best with an explanation, but it’s all very new to me

Uhhh I’m not sure, this case is a kit that comes with everything but the pi, batteries, and sd card.

As far as software, I just roll a retropie image that I customize with Gameboy splash screens, etc.

I’m more experienced building retropies into a Nintendo cartridge. I used to make a ton of them during the pandemic. I eventually made my own retropie image that was all set up for mass producing.

Oh I’ll be doing that. What’s the craziest achievement you’ve seen or completed?
