Got my lipo battery in for my NDS. I'm probably going to re-solder the battery wires to the pcb I'm using because I used some really crappy solder, mainly because I didn't want to get my good solder in the garage. I mean it working and the battery is charging in the DS, I just don't like the way it looks and feels kind of loose.20210508_011616.jpg 20210508_010914.jpg

Who would have thought I would ever need one of these again:
(The PlayStation 1 exploits asked for it)

Now, looking at this carefully:
What's with the kids on this label?! What do two boys playing outside have to do with CD-R?

==================

Got another PlayStation 2 Slim, SCPH-90004. Laser still strong: Reads CD-R and DVD-R like a charm and it is FreeMCBoot compatible. Last but not least: Original packaging and manual which is rarely the case on cheap offers.

Console is scratched up and both the main unit and the controller need a good cleaning. But I'm very happy with this one.

I also found myself buying CDs again after getting back at the Saturn.

I think the kids implying the usage of the CD to store family videos. But they can also be using failed burn discs as throwing discs xD. I used to do that when I was a kid, they are very aerodynamic and cut though the air.

Those kids were born in the year I last used a cd...

Ordered some more PCBs from oshpark. ordered 2 more lipo batteries(103040 lipos 1200mah), some battery jst 2 pin battery connectors and some Diodes(IN4007). Going to be making some removable gba lipo batteries.

They will probably have crappy battery life, but I'm doing this mainly for fun.

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
