  • Regular fooling around, trying to get one Rpi Zero working for both PS4 JB and Lego Dimensions emulation
    There's only one command needing sudo: "su -" everything else is just huge bother and nuisance with needless extra typing
    I just don't get Loonixes. Badly written and designed (hack upon hack upon hack, with nobody really on the know how the kernel works anymore.) Documentation - in the rare cases written one exists - is rubbish or even misleading. Ubuntu seems to be worst offender.

    This description pretty much fits on all operating systems. The software has become so huge complex that nobody is remotely able to understand it anymore.
    I have to say that I prefer free/open source over commercial/proprietary garbage with questionable EULA and 10000 integrated anti-features (like spyware) of the kind "No problem, you can turn this off."

    I do love open source, but generally not GPL as better quality stuff tends to have more permissive licences and someone actually bothered with documentation; BSD's, Postgres, LLVM...
    Happy 40th anniversary, Nihon Falcom! Waiting for the anniversary stream @10PM PST

    Four days to go and my Scarlet Nexus package seems to be stuck in France :(
    Time to finish Xenosaga on PS2 while waiting for 4.88 Evilnat & Scarlet Nexus

    You can update your PS2? Wasn't that done through specifically-coded memory cards, and the update got reverted if the card was removed since there was no real memory to store the update on, and thus the idea never gained much headway outside of one or two

    updates and that FreeMcBoot exploit?

    In short, I don't think one can "update their PS2", necessarily.

    Updating FreeHDBoot, wLaunchELF and OPL. Was pretty sure that PS2 HB development was dead untIl I found out about OPL 1.0. Vanity project called OPL DB doesn't count as real development qualitywise.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    True. I stick with the easy to mod revisions.
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    Most of the ones around here as of the last few years I would have to be there at 6am, muscling people as they are dragging things from their boot, skipping rows as the parade of kids looking up things on CEX roves just behind me
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    CEX has to be the worst place to buy consoles imho, too overpriced in there.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I think the whole overpricing bullshit has to do with the pandemic of all things, or has it always been like that?
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    Since Game squashed gamestation and themselves went pop or new games only they are the only place around save for a few independent pawn shops
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I've bought a PS3 for 45 quid before they went up in CEX.
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    scalpers really profited lol
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    Actually I lie. Occasionally Cash Converters has something
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @FAST6191, You get a lot more when you sell over there.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @ZeroT21, Unfortunately true.
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    As far as PS3s go then I think that might be more things going retro quicker than we were maybe used to coming up in earlier times
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Ngl I was gonna sell a fake Pokémon GBA game in CEX since there were plenty of fakes, that was until they start taking apart cartridges and comparing the PCB to an original.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Could've gotten a lot of money for that. Lol.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't often use my PS3, I'm probably gonna sell it. Its already been modded with Rebug CFW.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    :unsure: At what price?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    got a lot of cheap stuff on fb marketplace
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    my best recent purchase was medabots for gba for 4€
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Which one are you referring to? The GBA game or the PS3?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    rokusho versoin, the godly rpg one
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    i still have mine in the closet, played once
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Usually the Pokemon GBA games go for a lot, roughly 40-80 £.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, PS3 was £45.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    For that same model 40GB, you're paying £55 in today.
