The obscure content thing is an issue I’ve run into especially looking for ~70s era sci-fi or horror movies that are regarded as cult classics or underrated online.
Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.
The obscure content thing is an issue I’ve run into especially looking for ~70s era sci-fi or horror movies that are regarded as cult classics or underrated online.
If you are looking for software you might want to look for websites that list open source projects.
I can’t really think of decent mega lists though. The FMHY one does have a lot of simply free things but it is mixed in with a lot of pirated content.
Here’s the song Sports by the Viagra Boys
Yeah it seems like since COVID19 and the release of RG350 there’s been a real increase in the amount of progress
The Vita also has a lot of source ports.
For the right price it can be a pretty good deal considering it can play PSX and below as well as PSP games and a lot of handheld emulators still struggle with Vita emulation.
The RG35XXSP has a GBA SP clamshell style and is relatively new with a lot of positive reviews
It depends what you want to emulate. Most consoles can do PSX and below without any trouble. A lot of devices share the same chipset so that’s a big thing to look out for.
If you want to get into things like PS2 and GameCube you are going to have to pay more and likely consider Android.
A console with HDMI out and Bluetooth might be what you are looking for so you can potentially have that desktop experience you are used to.
I think Batocera-based custom firmwares can show retro achievement availability from the games list
Just a heads up the “10,000 in 1” game claims that every of these devices advertises isn’t something you should consider. It’s going to be a lot of games you’ve never heard of for older systems like the NES so they fit on lower capacity SD cards. Potentially in multiple languages. It also comes on SD cards most people would recommend replacing.
It’s better to just download the entire library, individual games, or an already curated collection.
When you say upgraded do you mean changed to a new device or just updated the OS?
If it’s the former you might be able to extract the app and transfer it and crack it yourself.
What is it exactly? Some kind of developer mode to bypass the login screen?
What are you trying to do that you don’t think you can do on Linux? Also there’s ways to install Windows 11 on unsupported systems.
Some people use Usenet for that kind of thing. I typically stumble across things I have been looking for on other social sites. For example someone makes a post with Adult Swim pilots and specials and other people will add additional material they happen to have. Sometimes it can help to think of what category what you are looking for is under then lurk around there for something like a bundle or a mislabeled version.
Probably not the answer you are looking for but thought I’d mention it
Good to known I thought there would be other giveaways like not having the DLC registered to your account but somehow having the achievements for it.
In that example though there might be some ways that could happen legitimately like having Fallout New Vegas on Steam but using DLC acquired from a physical copy or GOG.
I feel like I heard before no one has gotten banned for it yet but it just seemed a bit too easy to me
I don’t even like connecting to the net with pirated games. Always feel I’ll get banned and I used game piracy to test drive them.
Pirated games wouldn’t be associated with your Steam account so I don’t think you would be banned.
Even using the Steam API I don’t think you would unless you were sharing it openly or were making an obscene amount of requests.
That said I don’t know a ton about online fixes or using CreamAPI to unlock DLC for games you own so maybe it would be possible to get banned in that regard.
Is it as loud as it seems in the video?
It’s like nostalgia blinders.
An example a lot of people here can relate to is thinking about game consoles and handhelds they played growing up like the GBA.
There were likely some great games produced for it but there was also a lot of shovelware movie tie-ins and horrendous ports that were misrepresented in advertisements.
Yeah I feel like it’s similar to movies in a way. You can only push so much money and development into something before you start seeing diminishing returns.
When I was in high school we didn’t know how to mix drinks so we did it half and half. I can only imagine if this contained the same ratio
I think they’re aware of your stash of full Family Guy episodes on Youtube featuring random zooms.
Also doesn’t the RIAA only cover the music industry?
