I don’t think it’s a bad idea. I’ve used a lot of controllers in the past that have felt worse than the controls on Anbernics handhelds. If they are willing to switch things up and breakaway from the typical from the typical Switch Pro controller look a lot of third party companies use I think it could be cool

It’s like how a lot of parents these days don’t think their “jailbroken” Firestick is pirating

Would the collection just keep growing or would you delete content? Maybe periodically so if you haven’t watched the new Bettlejuice movie within a couple weeks it would get deleted? Maybe they wouls hold onto stuff until you’ve got it and watched it?

The idea of versioning it with your family stash is neat

I feel like that’s a lot of boiler plate stuff. It reminds me of Tom Scott’s video on VPN sponsorships not admitting they can be used as tools for piracy

Totally. I feel like it’s just more prevalent stereotypically among the right.

Overrun by alt-right 12 year olds

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?

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.

Have you not had much luck using operators?

I’ve found them relatively reliable

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.

Is that substantial though or is it like calling 120V something like 110V/115V?

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.

I believe the term punk has kind of drifted towards a catch-all term to describe something that clashes against what is considered the norm for most people.

There are definitely traditional punk themes in genres like cyberpunk and solarpunk. I feel like with dieselpunk and steampunk it’s largely a matter aesthetics.

Kind of an easy way to describe broad themes. If you are looking for a game similar to Mad Max for example with a post apocalypse desert that’s full of scavengers it might be easier to just use the term desertpunk.

What is it exactly? Some kind of developer mode to bypass the login screen?
