    What have you bought recently?

    I don't know if I'll buy the sn30 pros because they are only a few dollars cheaper than PS4 controllers and I think overall the PS controllers are very comfortable. If I had to put money on which controller will be supported the longest and physically last the longest I'd put it on Sony over...

    What have you bought recently?

    My first 8bitdo controller. Got this for two reasons over a USB to SNES adapter: 1. It has a large flat 'overlay' area like a NES controller and I want to make my own custom overlay, probably a Mega Man or Bob and George. 2. Played retro pi with my nephews with one PS1 controller with a USB...

    Well, youtube died. . .

    It's another system for Analogue that uses a FPGA to replicate the Genesis/Mega Drive hardware for modern TVs. It also does every Sega system up to the Master System/Sega CD with $10 adapters. Anyway, I heard about this, wanted to watch some youtube videos on it because the Analogue site was...

    Well, youtube died. . .

    This is the first time I can remember youtube going down. Whoever pulled this out is 1337. This had to happen on the day Mega Sg was announced. Maybe that is what broke yt. . .

    ColecoPlug (Colecovision USB Adapter) ready for preorder

    Huh, this is cool, I remember just 20 years ago our Atari 2600 power supply died and we couldn't find one at any electronic stores. With USB C an adapter can be made for any console. It makes me happy to see things like this that keep old electronics alive without a overly complicated mod!

    Best budget e reader?

    Waterproof would be really nice for travel, I've never gotten any of my electronics wet but it is always a huge fear of mine. I know the Nook isn't waterproof as I've seen it disassembled in videos before. The H20 still has a light doesn't it? I can't stress enough how nice having a light is...

    Best budget e reader?

    Every book? Wow, you're copyright laws must be insane, I thought the US sucked. I'd get a VPN if I were you.

    Best budget e reader?

    I've only owned Nook e-readers, and since it accepts .epub I have only ever bought maybe 20 books from Barnes & Noble, every other book I have I either made myself from Project Gutenberg or bought from other places. I do notice that B&N has every book that I found on Amazon so as far as 'main...

    Problems getting to Retroarch menu on retropie

    So I've asked this in forums on other sites that deal directly with Retropie but it is filled with non-technical people. I think one of my config files got borked because in the image I'm using select+start exited me out of the games but now that doesn't work. No key-press combination does...

    Release OpenLara

    I kinda remember this just being a bug in Tomb Raider, I remember I had problems with the camera when going through underwater tunnels. Is this a completely new engine for Tomb Raider or does it use more than just the graphics?

    Odroid Go

    I keep thinking I'm going to get one of these systems, this or the retrostone, but my Pandora does as much as these do and works fine. I'd rather just wait for the Pyra personally. I really like these systems built on single board computers though, it is kinda like the hacking community grew up.

    What have you bought recently?

    Oh yeah, I still read physical books from frequenting the library and borrowing from friends/family. I think printed books are still needed but when I go to buy a book I see if it is digital first. Every cycle tourist I met on my tour had an e-reader and I only met a few backpackers that...

    What have you bought recently?

    I have the original nook and the simple touch with glow light. The funny thing is the original still works fine 9 years later, no need to upgrade, I just liked the light. People were saying that e-ink displays wouldn't last long but 9 years is pretty long. . . I think an e-reader was the best...

    Tests, tests, and more tests.

    I have my fingers crossed, this would be awesome if it is just a software issue.

    2 Joypads on the Pyra. Easy?

    Blutooth is the way to go unless you absolutely need muscle memory like me, I have to play Mega Man with a NES controller or I can't even beat the Snake Man level. For everything else there are PS4 controllers that work great on Linux or even 8bitdo bluetooth controllers. As for mapping that...

    OpenLara?

    Yeah, you can't get the full Laura Croft experience because it doesn't play FMV video yet. They would look really out of place next to the gameplay now that it looks a lot better. From watching some youtube videos it looks like everything game-play wise is ready though.

    Disableing webcam on notebook

    Yeah, I saw that video also, I couldn't get my cam out though, and if your notebook isn't broken I think it is best to just leave it inside the bezel in case you ever want to sell it.

    OpenLara?

    I really like these projects where they try to reverse engineer a game but I don't get the point for anything PS1 as it is emulated so well. I guess if someone wanted to make custom levels or something. It ran really well for me, but I have no idea what the controls were so I could just run...

    What are you going to do when you first get your Pyra

    Wow, that light phone is really awesome, I wish it existed before I got my Mom a smartphone, that would have saved a lot of headache for me. Now she is addicted to looking at peoples photos online so it wouln't work now.

    MicroUSB 3.0 connector robustness

    Out of all my devices with micro USB3 connectors I've only had one that is loose and it was on a really cheap hard drive enclosure. I think if they are connected to the board correctly they're pretty robust. As for it being loose, like the cable comes out, I had a 6 foot USB 3.0 cable and the...
