Hey, I might be getting this stuff together soon. So, obviously if I’m making an emulation box I need software to emulate. Speaking merely hypothetically, wouldn’t it be great if we lived in a world where people would just contact you, maybe by messaging you in private, with info on how to get those giant collections of every rom for all the systems, perhaps in the form of a trusted torrent or something. Wouldn’t that be great?

There you go, an arcade racer for PS4.

I loved God of War (after not giving a shit about the series previously too), but Red Dead is so obviously the game of the year it’s unreal.

This is one of the craziest things I’ve ever witnessed.

Not sure about this different version of the Eva opening I’ve heard Netflix might be using.

Heh, I almost never watch live TV these days and I had seen every episode on iPlayer so far thinking it was still on Saturdays like it used to be.

How come there was no episode yesterday?

There have been several attempts from the BBC to bring back Tommorow’s World of which this is only the latest. God knows why they had so much trouble, it feels like the subject has only got more relevant as time has gone on.

I think it just stops you from rolling the firmware back which is a problem if the new firmware hasn’t been hacked yet (this has actually happened right now). I think.

As far as I can tell those aren’t real fuses. It’s just something on the circuit board that blows on purpose when Nintendo updates the firmware that stops you from installing an older version. I think.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. But despite the fact that no one mentioned it, I think I’m going to try hacking my Switch. I saw some YouTube videos and it seems relatively easy, and the allure of being able to play handheld and on a screen is too large. Still, I appreciate everyone helping.

MS conference will still have all the third-party multiplatform titles, but yeah, I’m still pretty bummed about this.

So I was considering giving myself a Christmas present, and the idea of a good emulation box really appeals to me. I had a Yod@box back in the day (still do, somewhere) and I loved it, and having avoided the NES and SNES classics because of their limited libraries I’d like an all-in-one device. But it seems like there are a lot of options. My initial thought was a Raspberry Pi, but it seems like they’re not that powerful and therefore can’t do much beyond 16 bit systems. I saw someone mention the Nvidia Shield, which seems like it might be a good idea - but I know it has the same chip as the Switch, which was recently hacked. Maybe the Switch would work, as I already own one and it’s also portable. But then I’d worry about Nintendo banning me online or even worse. Maybe it would be worth buying a whole new Switch for that if I can get a cheap one somehow? Also there’s a bunch of older systems which can be hacked into emulation boxes. Anyway, what would people recommend?

I didn’t even see this in the game. Glad to see I did OK! Anyway, this demo is pretty fantastic, immediately sold me on a game I was only sort of interested in. Though the rap in the second song reminds me so much of this: https://youtube.com/watch?v=WRlIDIu2qpg (can’t embed)

Wait for it...
