Penkesu is a handheld PC that you can build yourself. (penkesu.computer)
 

I've always been fascinated by these small computers. GPD makes these kinds of devices too. Ordered one once but I never got it. Been thinking of building one myself though I'm worried it would be too small to enjoyable use. I would definitely write on it, that I am sure of.

Very excited by this. Hopefully they go all the way and GPL it. There hasn't been any mp3 player I've enjoyed using as much as Winamp.

Anyone know any games similar to the Spyro GBA ones? Isometric collectathons? I need more like this. in c/retrogaming@kbin.social
[–] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 1 points 5 months ago

That looks cool. Not what I'm looking for but interesting. Reminds me a bit of the MegamanEXE games.

Collectathons are just games (usually platformers) where you collect a bunch of stuff. Spyro you got the items in each level, gems, chests, sidequests (that give you items) and so on. There's a lot of stuff to collect. Banjo Kazooie is another collectathon.

Yeah this looks right up my alley. Man, the GBA really had all the isometric platformers.

The banjo game looks right up my alley. Idk, something about these kinda-jank and simple GBA games just appeals to me so much. Didn't know Conker had a GBC game. It looks about how I would expect it lol. Thanks.

Man, I've never actually used Mobygames aside from seeing it in Google search once in a while. Didn't know you could do those kinds of searches. Way better than trying to trawl through IGDB. Gonna check this out. Thanks! I already see a few that definitely fit the bill (and all GBA too!)

I wrote an article about the 3 games and just how good they are. Imo, they're extremely underrated. I really wanna play more games similar to it but I can't find much in the way of isometric collectathons(?) at all. Looking for any suggestions. Apologies if this isn't the right spot. GBA is retro right?

Imo, the 3 games are extremely underrated in the Spyro series and feel like completely different games.

Here's the article. It explains more specifically what I mean by these games.

I know there's the main Spyro games but I'm looking for 2D ones, basically the same deal as the Season games.

Shame too. A lot of those groups were so cool.

Well discord isn't completely comparable to IRC but the look of that client sure is!

Nintendo launches lawsuit against the devs of the Switch emulator, Yuzu. in c/gaming@kbin.social

I'm blessed that I grew up with a PlayStation. Meant its really easy for me not to support Nintendo lol.

I literally know nothing about this game aside from that it was on all the Steam Deck adverts I saw.

Nintendo launches lawsuit against the devs of the Switch emulator, Yuzu. (www.theverge.com)
 

Nintendo claims that Yuzu actively assisted in piracy of Tears of the Kingdom. They say that Yuzu violates Nintendo's copyright by decrypting their games to run.

They also claim that "Nintendo also has technological measures on the Nintendo Switch console itself, including additional layers of encryption, which prevent users from unlawfully accessing or modifying the console—including to procure the prod.keys—and from accessing or copying games stored on the console or on a cartridge inserted in the console." - From the actual lawsuit which you can read here: https://www.scribd.com/document/709016504/Nintendo-of-America-Inc-v-Tropic-Haze-LLC-1-24-Cv-00082-No-1-D-R-I-Feb-26-2024

Nintendo claims that Yuzu spoiled Tears of the Kingdom for everyone (not listed as a damage in the lawsuit this is just something they've added on).

This lawsuit bears similarities to the Bleem v. Sony though I'll let you draw your own conclusion if this is comparable.

From the github description: "A Virtual Boy emulator for the Nintendo 3DS continuing mrdanielps's work on r3Ddragon, which is itself based on Reality Boy / Red Dragon. It uses a dynamic recompiler with busywait detection and a hardware-accelerated renderer to achieve high performance on the 3DS's limited hardware."

Okay but does the FPGA scratch your cartridges? Don't see so. Analogue wins again.
