While I think it is a recompile, you don’t need the original assets, it just works. I guess it’s abandonware and the original rights holders don’t care?

RSS feeds are everywhere. They are all around us. Even right now, in this very room.

I know a lot of the people reading this are in the USA, but can we get into the habit of including context in the post title or description?

There’s quite a good chess-themed roguelike available for free this week

There were three steam games posted in [email protected] yesterday, and three more earlier in the week!

Seems a bit mad that with all their money and a game already made they couldn’t be bothered to file off the serial numbers a bit more. I imagine this happens all the time with licencing deals, I know for instance Warcraft was originally written to be a Warhammer game.

Something I discovered recently is that you can connect an android phone to wifi, connect it to your computer, and enable “usb tethering” to pass the wifi connection to your computer as a wired connection. Maybe not practical for everyday use, but could still be useful!

Just tested this out, it’s ctrl+shift+r

You can do this on bash too if you add bind Space: magic-space to your bashrc/profile

Depending on the system it can be really easy to dump/rip your own discs. Hacking a Wii for homebrew requires jumping through a few hoops but then you can dump Wii, GameCube, and even Gameboy games. You can dump WiiU games by inserting an SD card and going to a single web page in the browser!

You can install powershell on Linux if you’re feeling masochistic

Thanks, that does sound familiar. Maybe it was the gpg bit that confused me before.

Is there a simple guide to checking checksums? It doesn’t seem like it should be complex but half the time the distro’s instructions don’t work for me!

So the ps3 is running an emulator? I thought console backwards compatibility usually came from having the original console’s CPU available (as a sound processor or similar)

Ooo didn’t know the ps3 could run ps1 games

…can I have my custom ROM now?

Don’t worry, it seems like it’s just scaremongering: this is for managed work phones which you should only have been using for work stuff anyway

Haha it’s nowhere near as bad as it was playing the original Mario Party on the N64

Excellent news!

Same thing happened to my 3DS analogue thingy (it’s not really a stick), I just use the jaggy plastic bit and stop playing when it hurts my thumb too much!
