Dug out the GP2X today.

I had some real fun with this ARM-based Linux-game console - wow - nearly 20 years ago! A little Montezuma's Revenge for the SMS shown running under emulation, here.

Such a fun device!

Another thing I wanted to share out of the stuff on my Switch:

I've been using emulators since forever, but this is still, by far, the best emulation collection release I have ever seen. The whole interface is amazing. You're comfortably in your room as quiet ambient sounds come in from outside (in day you hear cars quietly passing by and birds) with game posters on the walls and such and a shelf full of Genesis/Megadrive games that it actually puts IN a console shown on screen, then it plays on a TV on screen. (It can be set to load games directly in fullscreen which I recommend, but it was neater to show it merely zooming in on the virtual TV for the clip.)

Bashing my head against a wall cuz of people who don't understand how the #NintendoDS backwards compatibility works between older DS models and the newer ones that don't have a #GBA slot, but act like they do

The #DSi got rid of the GBA hardware along with the GBA slot. The DSi hacks are #emulators

@cstross Wow! This is a great example of the power of virtual platforms, #emulators, and also disciplined state control in a programming language. The fact that you can run this inside a #pdf is also instructive — yet another attack vector.
Also, I’ll bet there are many packages out there to do cross-compilation from #RISC-V to other machines. Remind me never to use Adobe Acrobat.
