Having a lot of fun with Tiny Tina's Wonderlands! Works very well on the Deck!

I had a Raspberry Pi2 in my car for a few years. The weather here in Barcelona is quite hot during summer, but even if it was left in the car under the sun, it always worked well.

I used it with the official Touch display, but added some physical buttons for navigation and playback as a touchscreen is never as good as real buttons, and anyway after some time, the touch function did stopped working well.

I used Kodi to play media, with a low resolution, "made for car" theme and using an addon to read the gpio buttons plus another one to make Kodi read only. The car adapter I used to supply power did not always trigger a clean shutdown, but having Kodi and most of the OS read only (i. e. no logs), I literally used the same SD card for years without any issue.

I could have used a gps as well (and launched its app from Kodi), but I got gifted a gps so used that.

Now I don't need this as I changed car, but I still use occasionally the RPi2 with its screen as no matter what, they still work fine :)

Ultimately, I wanted to mention that more powerful boards will require even more watts and more stable power, so it might just be easier with an old board.

Did you stutter?

Less releases with more testing. I normally wait some time before upgrading (no matter the application) as I prefer stability over extra/new features that I may use or not.

Thank you for sharing, I just answered!

I would say around 15 years ago, it was Windows XP

But it did MOST of the times...

Oh, I don't know how it is nowadays, I have switched to Linux since many years ago...

Very often sfc /scannow will ask for an installation media, which, in a corporate environment, means sending the machine to onsite support for either "fixing" or "reimaging". It's basically the command you should try first if you don't want to help someone fixing the issue. "See? There is something wrong with your installation, you should fix that before doing anything else..."

I used that trick a few times myself to get rid of poorly behaving people.

I would recommend to pay a visit to Wipeout Phantom Edition.

It's an enhanced PC port that uses the original assets from the Playstation CD and I had a lot of fun with it on my deck a few months ago...

No, I didn't. But I suspect that there might be some unwanted bridge somewhere which is directing electricity where is shouldn't and lowering the overall voltage in that part of the circuit.

I had no time yet, but I was thinking to remove the components of that part of the circuit and solder them onto an external board one by one. If I reach a point where the circuit starts working, I should then see if the last component moved was shorted with another one.

It will take a while, but I'd like to keep searching for the answer until it's found :)

I use regularly Lutris, Bottles, ScummVM, Dosbox-X or EmulationStation. So I can play from GOG, Epic, Itch.Io or plain old games (Dos) / emulated.

I do have many titles on Steam as well and generally I don't look too much at whether something is verified or platinum on ProtonDB, I just avoid titles from companies like Activision, EA, Ubisoft and generally all works very easily or easy enough!
