If a homebrew game is popular enough, such as Micro Mages, you can sometimes find them in romsets. Unfortunately some cartridge-only and less popular ROMs take a while to get uploaded; took me a year to find a specific Genesis ROM that was cartridge-only.
Doesn’t this essentially integrate similar functionality to what one of the Decky plugins had been used for? Great that it’s an official feature now, in any case.
To be fair, some of the mobile ports are improved with controller support added to them. It’s just frustrating that some of them aren’t subsequently ported to PC as well.
Given that compatibility improvements can essentially only be expected from Ryujinx now though, does Ryujinx run as well as Yuzu on the Deck? Ideally I’d like to switch to it entirely unless a viable Yuzu successor emerges, but I’ve heard that it’s not as resource efficient in comparison.
No need, Firefox buffer settings (media.cache) can be adjusted via the about:config page.
From the perspective of a piracy community, however, that’s not a win.
They need to self-host their repository if they don’t want to end up in the same situation…
As long as someone backed up the repository, it can still be forked, right?
Wouldn’t SimilarWeb not be counting people who watch streaming services via apps rather than their websites? As that would be most of the traffic for those services, it not being counted would skew results in favor of FMovies, since it doesn’t have a comparable app.
Unless it’s just taking a while to come down from the scene group heavens, some 4K TV show seasons seem to be perpetually missing, presumed due to Widevine L1. Oddly, sometimes half of a show’s 4K seasons are released while the others aren’t.
They still won’t listen; they want an excuse to raise subscription costs again while using it as a means of lobbying Congress to pass bills that favor them…
Private torrent trackers, usenet, and debrid services aside, qBittorrent + Jackett lets you search multiple public torrent trackers at a time, helpful for when one indexer has a release missing from another.
Depending on the situation, up to #13 for me. A caveat to that might be whether or not the creator has appropriately priced their product so as to justly compensate themselves without charging consumers excessively. While I had it in my Steam library already, Factorio deserves to be pirated for breaking with the standard practice of not raising game prices with inflation. Same with Sega’s anti-consumer move to remove the Sonic ROMs from the Sega Genesis collection to boost sales of Sonic Origins.
While it doesn’t do live TV and doesn’t work directly on an Apple TV, Real-Debrid is only $35 a year and is a relatively seamless Netflix replacement when used with Torrentio and Stremio.
BlastEm is the one I use; it’s both open source and cycle accurate.
Does Telegram have anything that torrents and usenet don’t?
Aside from hosting cloud saves and Steam workshop data, there aren’t many other services that justify a high fee to offset long-term costs. Steam trading cards, for instance, are just another source of revenue for Valve given that they also take a cut of sales from marketplace transactions.
Given that Valve’s costs in developing Proton are offset by the higher Steam game purchase rates of Steam Deck users (myself included), the main benefit to developers is Steam’s user base. As with Apple and the iOS app store, however, having what amounts to a monopoly in a market segment is not a justification for high platform access fees.
Considering that Valve makes more money per employee than most major tech companies, it definitely seems like it would still be turning a profit if its share of sales were reduced to 15 or 20 percent. Steam’s services aren’t free; the 30% fee inflates the price of games by 43%. As with any company Valve needs to have a high enough profit margin to cover long-term costs and R&D budgets, but the 30% cut is an outdated industry standard from when server operating costs were substantially higher than today.
Codeberg next?
It’s $3 a month and called RealDebrid + Stremio
