Tectoy has been selling their Genesis builds for many years after Sega discontinued theirs, so if anyone can make something today with original discrete parts it'd be them. Pretty anachronistic technology (although a little more advanced/integrated than the earlier Genesis models), but I guess...

"We will continue fine tuning the emulators to perfection so as to wring maximum performance. " Oh come on.

Their advertising shows people using the Switch on an airplane.. I feel really bad for anyone who needed it spelled out that it's not getting content beamed from the dock unit. It's pretty bad that they had to explain that Wii U isn't a Wii with a tablet controller and 3DS isn't DS with 3D, but...

It makes no sense to me why Nintendo would flat out say right now that the dock is not the system, it's just there for TV out and power, if it had extra processing power. What else would they be disputing by this statement? To say that this would be a minor detail not covered by their "main...

If the Switch and/or the dock are plastic they're not going to transfer heat to an active cooling solution too efficiently, and the dock doesn't look very thick or well vented. Plus Nintendo says outright that the main function of the dock is to provide TV out and power input. This may be a...

We shall see. What I don't really get is why Nintendo would be so secretive about it. Refusing to answer the question sounds like what they'd do if they don't want that aspect to sag the reveal hype. Seems very clear to me that it has four. What I can't tell is if there are more hidden...

Also looks like the perfect place for an aligning notch to make it easier to plug into the dock.

Bigger problem for DS or 3DS compatibility would be if Switch indeed lacks a touch screen. This would probably make Nintendo's DS Virtual Console library dead in the water. I can't see them supporting Wii U very much after this..

Problems with Shovel Knight on an x201s probably have nothing to do with the CPU and everything to do with the GPU. That was back from the real dark ages of Intel IGPs with terrible hardware and drivers. I think it's stuck with OpenGL 2.1, at least on Linux, which is very very old.

Yes, I don't find the dual controller concept very compelling.. that's a seriously bad controller.. it reminds me of that iMpulse keychain controller. Looks very uncomfortable to use and very limited. But I also don't expect there to be a big surge in renewed interest for local multiplayer on...

It seems to be getting buried but Nintendo has actually confirmed that, I'm afraid: http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/10/20/nintendo-confirms-amiibo-support-for-nintendo-switch-clarifies-additional-features I'm honestly not really very surprised. Housing a second set of processing hardware +...

blt is branch if signed less than, blo is branch if unsigned less than (branch if "lower"). The former won't work if you interpret the numbers as unsigned, which is necessary for the print algorithm to work when printing large unsigned numbers. cmp is a subtraction that doesn't store the...

For the purposes of what you're doing it'd be just as well to just clear the sign bit, but you really don't need to do this, just use unsigned conditions. Instead of this: cmp r5, #10 @ compare the number with 10 blt _end @ branch if < 10 Do this: cmp...

This article is pretty misleading. They say that they were able to meet their KS funding goal despite the controversy. Yet the two comments that they sourced were from August and September 2016, many months after the campaign finished (January) and after the pledged deliver date (May). They...

It looks like nVidia is playing a big role as a design partner, not just in providing the SoC but much of the software stack. It's very likely that nVidia is leveraging their own close relationships with these PC-focused game companies to help get them on board. This checks a lot of the same...

I just don't really understand what you're saying happens when it goes wrong. There's probably easier ways to produce the output for debugging purposes to see if it's the print routine that's causing problems with some numbers. Like displaying it as a fixed width hex string, piping the raw...

What's that mean exactly? Are you increasing sp again at some point?

It's an error code, I think EFAULT. Are you really calling syscall getrandom(1, 1, 1)? Because if so those parameters are totally wrong, bad pointers for sure, see here: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html

What the syscall function actually does in glibc targeting ARM EABI: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/syscall.S (the cfi stuff are macros for debugger stack frame info, you don't need to worry about them)

For those of you who remember the original Lynx model... http://cdn01.nzgamer.com/features/1063-image4.jpg About 27.3x10.8x3.8mm for the Lynx. Smach Z is pretty close at 25.5x9.8x~4?mm (actual height, not thinnest part) Lynx was also a real power guzzler for its time, but in the neighborhood...
