15 minutes in front of a well-configured RetroPie setup on a CRT will have you forgetting you're even playing on an emulator until you remember that you have QoL things like savestates and fast forwarding. we live in a fantastic time for emulation.
the older i get the less i seem to be a purist about emulation. i still think things like accurate controllers and latency are important but like. i prefer my miyoo mini+ over my dmg gameboy, and my raspberry pi 3A serves all my PS1 and below needs when connected to my CRT and looks real good, so...

man. the analogue 3d not having composite/component out is actually such a bummer. the thing i love about the superstation one is that it has hdmi and composite so it can function as a "true" modern Playstation without losing any functionality, losing analog video is a pretty big feature imo.

being way too into xbmc script development finally pays off :)
wiggled my way into becoming an xbmc4xbox 4.0 dev/tester let's fucking go !!!!!!!!

the modretro chromatic is so funny to me, what do you mean a warmonger is selling pixel-accurate FPGA gameboys. what timeline do we live in.

shameful confession: i've never used docker in my life. i just have four hundred quadrillion packages on my system at all times.

i propose a new form of freeware called "beeware". it's very similar to the concept of freeware, except by launching the software you also become legally responsible somewhere between a few dozen to a couple of thousands bees.

if you want to experience the "these games were clearly not designed for LCDs" problem in action, play something like Parappa the Rapper / Um Jammer Lammy (the PSX versions not the PSP ones) or PSX DDR, they rely on near-pixel-perfect accuracy that you can't get with the average LCDs latency
like i legit realized the biggest reason i hated NES/SNES/PSX or other CRT-based console emulation was the combination of added input latency on LCDs that can't truly be mitigated, and the fact that pixel art of that era looks terrible on modern displays. a CRT immediately fixes all of that. :)
honestly i'm a huge fan of FPGA consoles, the older i get the less "purist" i become about emulation, since these days projects like FPGAs, new retro handhelds, or even an RPi connected to a CRT with the right controllers gets the average user like, 95-99% of the way towards a "pure" experience.

also modern-day handhelds are shockingly good, even budget models. i got my miyoo mini for like $57 and every LCD-based handheld game i've thrown at it works flawlessly, input latency feels 1:1 on GB games (compared to my DMG) and i get modern QoL features like a backlight and savestates!

it's wild that you can buy a brand-new FPGA gameboy for like. $140 CAD all-in with a backlit screen. but it's like. $120 to buy a decent GBC and then another like $100+ to do all the mods you'd want to modernize it (like a backlit screen, usb-c charging + li-on battery, etc)

here's sakuraDisplay (my SH1106-based RetroPie OLED display) in action! part 1 of my building my dream custom retro console is basically done now, sans some optimizations and additional stress testing :) it works with any game system with valid scraped data!

being a web developer and discovering bootstrap is really funny because it's really cool for like a month and then you realize you've spent more time fucking around with someone else's website than you would've spent just making your own from the ground up
