Then setup shaders and overlays as it really steps up nostalgia: https://retrogamecorps.com/2024/09/01/guide-shaders-and-overlays-on-retro-handhelds/

A simple first step to helping oneself learn better ways to deal with this problem is to setup NextDNS on your router and use their Roku or similar content filters.

That’ll make it so much easier to find a rom that’ll work

On sale currently on GoG and without DRM

I appreciate the link and heads up

No worries, thanks for trying to explain it

Do you care to share what special type of lock you use?

DRM or not this is straight from Steam, you don’t own what you “purchase”. This isn’t consumer friendly:

Steam Subscriber Agreement

1. REGISTRATION AS A SUBSCRIBER; APPLICATION OF TERMS TO YOU; YOUR ACCOUNT, ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENTS

B. Hardware, Subscriptions; Content and Services

Valve or third-party video games and in-game content, software associated with Hardware and any virtual items you trade, sell or purchase in a Steam Subscription Marketplace are referred to in this Agreement as “Content and Services;”

2. Licenses

A. General Content and Services License

“The Content and Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Content and Services.”

I would like to learn more about DRM on GoG if you wouldn’t mind sharing.

Please publish to GoG as well. I want to support sites that are DRM free. Also I think it’s smart to give native Linux support to show the industry that Linux is important rather than rely on compatibility tools that may or may not work well for any given game or setup.

I’ve been following this for some time and am excited to see it’s progressing well

Use alternative ways of streaming content such as Kodi or Stremio with a debrid service that costs $17/6mo

Be prepared for your router to not work until you figure out how to set stuff up. So hopefully this isn’t your only router. I converted a router to OpenWRT and my knowledge of networking was super basic. It was very confusing but I did get it working in a few days. However, I couldn’t get some things working like a VPN or updating without wiping all my settings. OpenWRT is router firmware, not NAS software. You’ll need to run something like CasaOS, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS, etc for that.

This website is a great starting point for router configurations: https://routersecurity.org/#StartHere

I like getting audio books from Libro.FM. It’s all DRM free and some money gets donated to a bookstore of your choosing.

Woah, this is the software I’ve been looking for! This is absolutely fantastic

I’ve always enjoyed Firered and Sapphire and recently found Polished Crystal which is fantastic

What would you be referring to?

I didn’t know there was a number two. I’ll be playing that at some point. Thanks

Too bad Mumble went out of fashion

Good to know
