Fuck Nintendo

It’s garbage for learning a language but it’s phenomenal for memorizing and gameifying learning nouns and verbs. I’ve been going through the Japanese lessons one jump at a time and it’s been great to brush up on all the words I’ve forgotten.

I hook it up to TVs all the time! It looks great on my 1080p projector on a 95" screen and perfectly acceptable on my girlfriends ginormous 4K TV.

I have been enjoying the original console I designed and built myself running a raspberry pi 5 and a fully built and compiled retropie that can crank out some dolphin and redream with full 60fps. I have plenty 90s gaming I need to catch up on.

For everything moderately modern, I have a steam deck. If it doesn’t or cannot run on my retropie or my deck then I’ll wait till the next hardware refresh. If it takes half a decade, all the better.

Yikes! That’s just about the worst case scenario. It’s maddening the shortcuts companies play to save literally pennies. Sounds like you’ve at least solved the problem so hopefully the replacement and all that work is fruitful!

I did a quick look and it doesn’t look like the switch is directly on the motherboard so most likely there’s a JST plug or something similar with wire leads that then hook into the switch and/or a daughter board. If it’s just two wires into a JST plug you can replace the switch with anything similar or if you wanna be ghetto about it just touch the two wires together to make a short.

You can probably get the exact switch if you look hard enough since almost everything but the exterior shell will be commodity components.

Good luck!

Honestly, momentary switches are the simplest of all circuits. The only hard part will be soldering a new one into the old leads. What laptop is it? I can look and see what I think.

Unfortunately your guide links to stuff on adafruit that’s out of stock - mostly the screen/microprocessor…

I found this guide that has a walk through with full code and an easy to use library for making the interface quite a bit better:

I’m going to be building two initially for myself and my girlfriends kid but once I work out the details I’ll post it up on the fediverse somewhere with the full code to get going.

I am much more keen to use C instead of Python for something like a clock although I’m sure circuit-python is fast enough, id rather stick to native libraries.

I kinda wanna reverse/side engineer a replica you can DIY because fuck Nintendo.

gross.

That’s just a false dichotomy fallacy.

Who’s fault is that?

The screenshots in the IGN page for the game itself look like something last gen. What the fuck? It’s not even up to Stray/CP2077 fidelity and those run on my fucking Steamdeck…

Is the suxbox that much of a dumpster fire?

Nothing about 3D printing is set-and-forget when you’re designing from the ground up…

Again, you’re talking about something I am not. I am talking about THIS problem, right here, that is categorically a windows problem, in that it’s not on the linux kernel stack, or mac. How is this NOT a windows problem??

xz attack

That has nothing to do with this. That was a security vulnerability, solved in record time, blame where it was due, and patched in hours.

If BMW makes a car that has square wheels and needs to have everyone install round wheels so the fucking thing works you can’t blame a company for making wheels.

It’s a Microsoft problem through and through.

Linux in the hands of professionals. There’s a reason IIS isn’t used anymore.

But that patch is for windows, not Linux. Not a hypothetical, this is happening.
