Only thing surprising is that it took this long for it to happen. Everyone else knew that there would be immediate forks made but seems they took a month to catch up to speed with the internet.
Nintendo is not an internet savvy company. You can tell by how they implement online gaming features like “friend codes” and pushing everything to a phone app for communication (Splatoon).
I think it’s by design, not because they’re stupid. They saw those forks right away and decided to let them get settled in and comfortable, and then removed them. Knowing that the hammer will come down eventually is really demoralizing. Knowing it’ll come down right away means you can test the waters and see how it goes without much personal investment.
I bought a Retroid Flip and have been really happy with it. I grew up with the game boy and have owned pretty much every iteration. Authentic is good but I think the utility of the android-based handheld can’t be beat. Especially given the high cost of the originals.
I got a RG353VS off Amazon a few months back and am loving it. Good speakers, beautiful screen, USB C charging… It came preloaded with a bunch of games.
Shame it’s a Unity project. I’d be worried for the developer if Unity ever decides to start charging fees per install or something equally bullshit again.
How come it took 20 years for a popular console? Sure, it probably takes some effort, maybe X-raying the boards, but a schematic can be created by someone with a desoldering oven and multimeter. Or sandpaper and flatbed scanner. At least they’re free.
Edit: apparently includes full board recreation, that’s better
The information has been available for a long time. And the method to get it was done by sanding down each layer and making scans, and tracing each line.
Without looking to much into this, apperantly the main new thing here is the way this information is compiled. Which may be quite the improvement in accessibility
I think they rebuilt the game in Unity. I do know they say to not go with the one on GoG as it is outdated. I only learned about the whole thing yesterday.
And it’s moddable and stable and fixed all the bugs form the original.
Super fun for those of us who grew up playing it, and a great way to experience a genuinely better and more accessible version of daggerfall for new players.
If Nintendo would put half the effort into game development as they put into picking legal fights, maybe they could make profit off their video games enough they wouldn’t have to do lawsuit trolling.
No, it won’t help. It just suspends a task and going into sleep then won’t help. Maybe disable suspend and change to hibernation. This would work. You most likely would need to enable it first:
Powercfg /h on
On a commandline.
You can try out easily with e. G. Procexp from sysinternals (a great Taskmanager-replacement too!). You can just suspend your game and try it.
Thanks for the tipp! Currently, I have a bit of a problem with hibernation. My proprietary gpu driver sends me to blackscreen and forces me to hard reboot. So that I might need to fix first. :)
There's already a pretty recent post about this on the threadiverse. I recommend checking the discussion there as lots of us are not likely to repeat our comments.
Thanks for adding this. (I think I used the crosspost button on the desktop PC… yet, indeed, in my Lemmy client on mobile I’m not seeing the reference).
