Since it took a bit of googling to piece together how to set up a Pandora-targeting Rust cross-compiler, I thought I'd share these instructions here in case they save someone else some time. Step 0: Set up one of the C cross-compilers from https://pandorawiki.org/Cross-compiler (I'm using...

Try the newest version of Mupen64Plus with a fresh appdata. I get surprisingly comfortable results at 800MHz (the highest my Pandora is stable at without increasing the OPP) out of almost every game in my library, except for the handful that don't get along with the default GPU plugin.

But oh so typically Japanese. Do you know why so many PC ports of Japanese console games are terrible? In general, Japanese developers are control freaks and won't let foreigners have access to their precious source code. (It's a cultural thing) In Japan, they don't see the PC as a gaming...

I thought it would be evident (from my lamenting the Windows-only nature of some of my Sim* and Incredible Toon Machine games) that I only play what I legitimately own. I don't own Rayman for PS1 and my budget is already more than occupied with tracking down SNES/N64/GB/GBA cartridges and...

Yeah, but my introduction to the genre was via ebuilds like scorched3d and atanks and those games have PNDs available. No DOSBox required there.

Thanks. I'll definitely give that a try as soon as I can risk losing track of time.

TL;DR: After pouring so much into this ramble, I couldn't bring myself to throw it out. Click the links to find freeware DOS games and YouTube clips of catchy music. It depends. Sure, I've got those on my Pandora natively, but here is just part of the list of the games I had to install in...

A novel production process would explain delays. :P

More like the one true resolution, because it allows you to achieve both 1080p movie playback and 1600x1200 gaming using only letter/pillar-boxing. (Remember, 1600x1200 on a 21" CRT is the dream so many envied in the 90s and also the highest resolution classic 4:3 games might support.)

You might want to check out the links I put in my own reply. TL;DR: NASA calls the wire-side screw connectors spade lug terminals. The things which connect coax to spade lugs or vice-versa are called baluns or matching transformers The switch things for plugging consoles in are called TV game...

If you're talking about the things that let you feed coaxial cable into an old TV or spade lugs into a new TV, those are baluns, but eBay sellers also like the term "matching transformer". You can get any of those from China for as low as $1 US (or $1.33 CA in my case) on eBay. (with free...

Not quite. You're forgetting about internal software limits. For example: kglobalhotkeys gets confused if you map Hyper as a modifier and won't allow you to bind global hotkeys to it. X11 works by mapping keycodes to keysyms, then keysyms to modifiers. I'm not sure if it's possible to augment...

You can type å on anything Linux-based by typing <Compose>*a or <Compose>oa. (You can use setxkbmap to add <Compose> to your existing layout)

From what I understand, the labels are enamelled into each key and all of the keys are part of the same rubber mat so, unless you want to sacrifice the backlighting with some kind of opaque stickers which might wear off, they'd need to produce an alternative run of rubber keymats, which can only...

Depends. Most of the games I want to play are fat-pixel retro titles meant to ape NES- or SNES-era graphics... and SNES+Retrode+Pandora looks beautiful. GOG, Humble Bundle Inc., and others have sold me hundreds of x86/x86_64-only Linux ports of modern indie games. (ie. not...

Yeah. To me, the Pyra looks like a proper unified design while the GPD Win looks like one of the innumerable Chinese knock-off electronics companies patched together CAD/CAM files for a couple of android phones, the controls from a knock-off X-Box One controller, and the keys from some "trying...

While I still think that "Thinkpad Black" would be the best choice, followed by the shade used in the 600MHz Pandoras, there should be a charcoal grey I'd also find acceptable. (Possibly a slate grey too, but it's harder to make lighter greys professional without varying the texture and design...

That does puzzle me. What's wrong with the "tabs on the lid and slots in the sides" design that the Pandora box used or the "tab on the lid and slot in the bottom" design the Retrode's box uses?

Yes, but only if you short a jumper on the motherboard. The DSi brought a variant of the Wii's ability to receive OS upgrades bundled with games, which is why flash cart updates keep having to change which game they're masquerading as in the launcher UI. Sure, the DS allows me to flash a BIOS...

Ahh. All I know about the 3DS is that it's got upgradeable firmware, uses crypto to prevent you from moving your saves from one device to another, and is named after a gimmick. We stopped buying Nintendo portables after the DSi introduced upgradeable firmware in an attempt to combat flash...
