    Original Xbox (NTSC) video output - HDMI converter, or RGB SCART cable (from RGC)?

    As far as I know it's not recommended to use unbranded analog cables (either SCART or component) since depending on the length of the cable/quality of the shielding etc there can be visible audio and/or video noise/artefacts (especially on upscalers). The modded 360 cables are known good since...

    Original Xbox (NTSC) video output - HDMI converter, or RGB SCART cable (from RGC)?

    People (you can find these on ebay) mod the original xbox 360 component cable with the xbox plug, i have one of these and use it with a retrotink 4kCE and it works well

    Let me save you the suspense; the Switch 2 won't get hacked

    Will the Switch 2 be hacked in a lab/with the right equipment? Yes, most likely Will the Switch 2 be hacked with a software exploit/a miniaturized modchip solution that can be widely used? Very unlikely

    [Release] 3DSRS - Flashcard app with SM-2

    Probably saying something like "Anki-like" would be easiest for people to understand, most people have no idea about "spaced repetition" or "SM-2" but Anki is maybe a little more known :p

    Interpreter - an AI-powered offline translator for retro Japanese games

    I think the witch Beatrice did it. On a more serious note meikiocr is actually pretty good, not sure how the results can be this bad lol it was trained on visual novels so maybe it just doesn’t work well on retro pixelated low-res fonts. Or maybe the translation model is the bad one.

    Nintendo Switch Online retro catalog games for December 2025 announced

    N64 Rayman 2 is really bad compared to the Dreamcast version (and the 3DS port)

    Konami is asking gamers which Metal Gear Solid game they want to see remade next

    Some games (like MGS, incidentally) use the button pressure sensitivity feature of the DS3, i think that’s very rare to see in third party controllers (if any). The motion controls as well but iirc those are a bit more common

    Google plans to block sideloading unverified apps on Android in the future

    In a way it’s surprising it lasted this long, it was obvious openness felt long in the tooth to them since they kept removing system apps from aosp for a long time. Also see how they removed all Pixel device specific code from aosp making it unusable on any device as-is (if I had to guess the...

    XBOX 360 S with somewhat(?) high temperatures, running Bad Update.

    I have a Trinity I just cleaned and repasted with MX6 as I RGH'd it with a friend, with everything left as default it seems to go up to 70/71 °C until the fans finally start running a bit which lowers temps to ~65 °C. I didn't try anything demanding though, just some XBLA stuff like the Banjo...

    Tutorial Switch screen OCR translation plugin based on Tesla

    Fwiw using Google Lens to ocr and any good LLM for translation would improve it significantly. For local OCR oneocr (snipping tool ocr) on Windows and apple live text on mac are both great For Lens/live text i have a python implementation here https://github.com/AuroraWright/owocr oneocr here...

    YouTuber has consoles seized, faces potential jailtime over reviewing retro handhelds

    It has everything to do with Nintendo, copyright laws here are rarely applied here unless for stuff like soccer matches where they'll (try to) throw live streams and the like offline. He might be sentenced if they really want to (I'm not a lawyer) but that doesn't change what I said, Nintendo is...

    YouTuber has consoles seized, faces potential jailtime over reviewing retro handhelds

    He apparently just reviewed the stuff without any profit, he says he was never paid for it and a friend told me the store links he sent weren't affiliate links either. Ruining people's lives for youtube reviews is pretty low, even for Nintendo. Fwiw, other Italian youtubers apparently hid video...

    YouTuber has consoles seized, faces potential jailtime over reviewing retro handhelds

    Nintendo was going around threatening people and channels in Italian Telegram spaces just a few years ago so I have little doubt that it's them going at it again
