True, but I was thinking there might be a smaller, incremental improvement in lithium ion batteries each year. Am I wrong about that? Are we going nowhere with lithium anymore?

Interesting. Something to look forward to in the future.

Now I’m also hoping for a more power dense battery.

Um… Yeah? You about Steam Cloud, right?

Besides that, if it’s a none-Steam game you could just… Transfer the same file to the Deck. Did with a couple of games through Google Drive.

I’ve recently finished playing the entire Ratchet and Clank collection… Well… With the exception of the PS3 spinoffs.

But yeah, was surprised the Deck can actually handle PS3 emulation quite well. I was holding off on playing Rift Apart, but when I got Motorstorm running nicely, a game that previously was completely impossible to run decently, I was convinced I could finally go and play all of R&C.

Now I just got to wait till…

*checks notes

… 2029!?!

Uh… Yeah… 2029 for the conclusion of Ratchet and Clank…

Anyway, Rift Apart ran great after some tweaking. The default settings make the game look fugly.

I mean, it runs flawlessly for me as well with all the DLCs… Just not splitscreen multiplayer.

I’ve been down the rabbit hole of looking for a solution around the controller connection applet freeze, and with some people one solution works, with some others another… Sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently… Considering the variability surrounding this issue I don’t think an actual solution has been found yet.

I’ve been over a grand multitude of solutions, including this one. None of them worked, I’m afraid.

Switch emulation works pretty great. But be advised; there are problems with getting Mariokart 8 Delux splitscreen working; the game tends to soft lock on the controller applet. Rayman Legends the complete edition has no such problem and I’ve had a blast playing with my family.

PlayStation 2 works great and can even be pushed to render games at higher than native resolutions. I’m currently playing Spyro The Eternal Night and Ratchet Gladiator.

Since it can run PlayStation 2 that good I don’t see any problems with the Deck running GameCube or Wii games… Except for the instances where Wii games may need motion controls.

PlayStation 3 requires fiddling with the settings on a per-game basis. And then still you’ll probably have to downscale the native resolution and limit the framerate on games to make them run well. But the PS3 emu comes with FSR built in and I can’t really complain.

I always torrent large FOSS projects where possible. It’s faster and doesn’t tax the servers of the project.

That’s not piracy, though, so I’m not sure why it’s being talked about here…

I’ve been playing Breath of the Wild, Mariokart 8, and Super Mario Wonder.

Breath of the Wild has the same framerate issues as the Switch, Mariokart 8 runs super smooth, Super Mario Wonder has the occasional stutter, but given how new the game is om confident that’ll be resolved with a few updates.

I still have my TTDS card from way back in 2005. It still works with the 3DS thanks to a homebrew app.

The video said as much. Although this depends on how the card works with certificates. Right now the only thing we have is a promise by the creators. It will be interesting to track the development and discussion of this on GBAtemp.

Personally, though, I don’t actually need this. I got a Steam Deck. It handles Switch games much better than I expected when the Deck was first announced and I can play online with friends who also use emulation.

Pretty sure the whole talk around this flashcard is that entirely no modding whatsoever is required. Just insert and play.

Yeah, but I’ve also met several (Americans, usually) who had takes like these and… Uh… Unfortunately meant it.

Please be sarcasm… Please be sarcasm… Oh I pray to the dark void of the universe that this is sarcasm.

Stremio is a video player that can run videos directly from certain Web sources.

The part of interest here is it can run directly from torrent magnet links too.

It has serie and movie browsing capabilities similar to a streaming service, and the interface also looks that way too. With plugins you can see various sources to stream the movies and series from, which includes plugins from various torrent trackers.

Ongoin series you want to follow can be added to your library. Doing so will add a calendar showing you on which days new episodes will drop, and notify you when they do.

Theory requires a working model. What you got can’t even be considered a hypothesis.

Oh, I never read nfo files, so I never knew. ^^;

What was it the rules of the internet again?

TITS or GTFO.

There’s also Girl = Guy In Real Life.

Valve is one of the few companies I would someone trust with this promise… So long as the current people in charge are still in charge.

Whoever takes over might have very different ideas.

This was already proven at the height of Netflix, before streaming service hell.
