  • tbh it’s really not worth all the hype unless you want to take the 100-300 hours to set it up properly and ensure all the boxart is there.

    So Rocknix isn’t as developed like Emuelec and all the other Linux gaming front ends? Because fixing boxart was one of the huge hassles on the Retroid 3+. The Retroid front end got 90% of the art but fixing that last 10% took hours. In comparison my Anbernic and Miyoo Mini were perfect. And customizing it was trivial because I could stick the SD card in my PC and move the files around. The Retroid front end didn’t let you do that. The other hassle was some of the emulators on the Retroid had their own menus so entering and exiting games wasn’t a single button push like Linux emulators.







  • It doesn’t matter that they have no basis for a lawsuit. Nintendo starts a lawsuit, no matter how ridiculous, and the developer has to pay a lawyer to defend or they lose to default judgement.

    The US isn’t like EU. Everyone pays their own costs whether you win or lose. If you win, you can then start a new lawsuit to recover legal costs but that costs more money and you aren’t guaranteed to recover the money.

    Edit: I don’t understand the downvote. It’s exactly how the US system works. I experienced it with a contractor. Contractor took the money and didn’t finish. I sued and won. He then sued saying he was owed all that money back for absolutely no reason. Of course it didn’t even go to trial but I still had to pay my lawyer to defend myself. Otherwise it would have been a default judgement for him.








  • I got a sff P330 Xeon with integrated graphics for ~$500 two years ago that includes case power supply etc. Far faster than an n100 and even lower power than if you added a GPU to an n100.

    I just plugged in a kilowatt to check:

    My Lenovo sff workstation running Plex idles at 15 watts- which is 90% of the time. Streaming 4k 52Mbs hevc (This Flash Gordon is my torture test that caused me to upgrade 2 years ago) it’s 18 watts! I was so surprised that I went back and unplugged the Ethernet thinking I put the killawatt on the wrong server.
