I don't know what's included in batocera, but obviously, there's a big difference between GBA and NES/SNES multiplayer.

NES/SNES multiplayer is one system with 2 controllers plugged in. To do multiplayer on GBA each player needed their own GBA, and you'd link those together. So if you emulate that on one device it would have to emulate 2 or more systems at once.

Yes please. If it's not kitsch, weird and/or flashy as hell, it's not true ESC. There was a year when it was like almost everyone had agreed to sent their most boring crap, it was terrible.

You know, despite not really believing LLM "intelligence" works anywhere like real intelligence, I kind of thought maybe being good at recognizing patterns was a way to emulate it to a point...

But that study seems to prove they're still not even good at that. At first I was wondering how hard the puzzles must have been, and then there's a bit about LLM finishing 100 move towers of Hanoï (on which they were trained) and failing 4 move river crossings. Logically, those problems are very similar... Also, failing to apply a step-by-step solution they were given.

Kinda ironic for someone with that last name.

Céline Dion did one. Not for Canada, though.

If they qualify for one or two more Eurovisions, they can use that as a proof of European-ness I'd say.

Weird. It certainly could be better, but the Switch wasn't that hard to fix I'd say. I mean, if it was, I wouldn't have been able to do it. I have quite a few dead electronic devices lying around that I probably broke more than they were originally.

On my switch I changed a SD card drive and the fan, and that required unmounting quite a bit of it. I was very slow at it, but it's more annoying than hard. Mostly solder-less with just a lot of screws and pins locked in with small levers.

Also I opened lots of joycons, and while it's not hard, yeah fuck those flimsy pieces of shit. Of course I changed sticks a lot (with other shitty sticks, Hall effect joycon sticks weren't a thing yet) and changed a couple rails, those tend to fail too.

IMO the SN/SF30 series is great if you want compact and still good for actual gameplay.

Though you have to be able to grip it the old Super NES way, from the sides, held by fingers and with thumbs resting diagonally on the buttons. I discovered some people didn't like it but they were mostly holding it weird. Like cradling it uncomfortably in their palms with thumbs coming from the bottom...

Just updated my SN30 pro, and it works! Great.

I thought Impossible Lair was pretty good. Of course, it was a complete different genre, and basically that genre was just "Donkey Kong Country". Nevertheless, great execution.

I played the actual YL after that one, and... Yeah, I went through it all and barely remember it. Sure, I don't even have a lot of nostalgia for collectathons, except if you count the 3D Mario kind... But it was definitely bland, and had annoying design problems.

De la façon dont c'est présenté, j'ai l'impression que c'est pas au niveau de se rouler une pelle sur le lieu de travail, plutôt "si j'apprends que vous êtes en couple, je vais chercher à vous dégager". C'est ce que je vois clairement derrière l'allusion à la "source de problèmes".

Oh yeah, the caskets. I always forget about these things.
