Yeah it probably would have been better content. When I started work on this it was more to help get the post count and engagement of consolerepair up.
Thanks! 8Bitdo make some pretty decent controllers. Modded mini or even a pi4 are great ways to play NES games, then you find yourself falling down the MiSTer rabbit hole.
Got fixes for both of those. 2.4ghz wireless controllers and properly cleaned games and connectors (pencil easer and ipa fixes 99% of issues with the games themselves, long term blowing is bad for the contacts).
Yeah with Analogue you definitely need to go into their products expecting it will never be updated, and be pleasantly surprised if it does. I originally bought it just to play GB and GBA games via carts and everdrives, so OpenFPGA was a huge surprise when it was released (although my x7 didn't work until I replaced the filters, thanks Analogue for that incompatibility).
If you ever do decide you want a og Xbox (which honestly with the state of emulation, you probably don't need to), make sure it's working unless you want a potentially challenging repair. They are very susceptible to leaky caps and trace rot.
I don't think that would change the price much. The slot itself is probably only a few pennies and you can't get cheaper FPGAs without reducing the cores the device is capable of playing. Adding another SKU would just make it more expensive and harder to stock.
The dock is ok, just wish it had more scaling and resolution options (I wanted to use it with the smaller display but that resolution is not 1080, so it looks too squished). It also lacks a lot in controller support. Otherwise it works well and does the job.
Yep it's the vertical stand from RetroFrog (model is on printables). And yes modded 1.1 og Xbox with 128mb ram, XboxHd+, and Stellar mod chip.
I'm very happy with it. Most of the time I use roms on the SD card but the screen and original form factor are great for GB games. Certain games I use the cartridge for the display modes. The DMG filter is amazing, it even replicates the ghosting on the original system.
If you're a Gameboy enthusiast, you'll love the device and the bonus of playing other systems and arcade games is icing on the cake. Otherwise, a cheaper handheld or a steam deck would be a better option.
There are a few ways you can send encrypted information, but they all boil down to the same concept: Create a problem that is very difficult to solve unless you already know part of the answer. For example, I have a number that when divided by 7(a prime key in this case) has a remainder of 3. It could be 10, 17, 24, etc.... We then take that number's remainder, raise it to a power and multipy it by a large number to create a huge result. I send this result to the other party without sending my prime, along with the number I multiplied. They choose their own prime and do some more math with my result and send back the result. Since I know my prime, its simple for me to get the result but anyone watching would have to do a lot of math to get the answer.
Also turn of the Payback in Feeds option, in my case it added them to my watch history and messed with recommendations. All the sudden my feed was filled with junk like this.
