Have you tried RetroArch on Vita to play PS1 games? Converting all those PS1 games can be a chore.

Unfortunately, RetroArch doesn't utilize MIPS CPU so performance is terrible. That was the only way to go, so I had to do it, but I never, ever want to go thru something like this again. To the hell and back

It's nice Belz can move, but also looks kinda cheap. That wasn't cheap.

It's same quality as the normal Figuart, it's an exclusive variant and has some extra stuff like the base.

This cost me 110€, let's say 60 for the game, the other 50 went for the figure, steelbook, art cards and exclusive dlc.
I'd say SE's CE are way worse.

I'm guessing the game doesn't have the anime opening? :/

Don't recall tbh. Only installed and tried it out, been too busy with Stellar Blade, that game is seriously addictive. >.>

I ordered a new enclosure for the dart frogs I just got. It's an Exo Terra Frogs and Co. 18"x18"x18", some substrate for it, a couple of bags of dried leaves for them, and two plants: a Monstera adansonii and a Philodendron white princess. I had a gift card I received for Christmas last year, and I found one from the year before that I never used. My sister gives me gift cards for Christmas every year, and I forget about them until I find them a year later. So I ended up paying $45 for everything.

I have some other plants I can use in the tanks, but I need to buy Gorilla Glue and wood to make the custom background.

I want to give them a proper home that looks nice. Their current tank looks nice, but I want to give them something nicer. I'm going to set up the tank this weekend and let it establish over the next month or two.

I decided to put all of my stupidly large games like GTA5 onto an external SSD. I don’t play them enough to keep them always installed but also don’t want to download them every time I want to play them. So I decided to buy this small USB-C cable and some velcro to keep it attached when I want to play games off it. I also put some cute stickers on it and on Dazzi (I named my Steam Deck after my favorite Pal, Dazzi)

Well this is a freakishly cute Mini PC! Bought this one myself, it's the cheapest version of AYANEO's AM01 series. Gotta say though, so far I'm reaaaaaally not impressed. I'm hoping it's just the Windows setup not agreeing with the fairly low power 3200U inside, but it might be the worst Windows experience I've had to date.

The AYANEO software that comes pre-baked on it barely runs too, it's like nobody from the company actually tried the software on-device beforehand. I can see it doing better with some kind of retro-focussed Linux build, but it's still annoying since this is sold as a Windows PC. I wasn't expecting much, but the out of box experience feels barely functional.

It also corrupted the folder I keep with all my benchmarking tools in it. My Goddddddddddddddddd.

Just bought one of those Club Nintendo Wii Remote holders, I haven't been the same since.

Put on and tighten the wrist strap.
Hold the Wii Remote securely and do not let go of it.
Use the Wii Remote jacket.

Let's see...

Recently purchased a DSi XL (red) screens with no scratches (that made me want it even more), and a PS4 OG "Digital Edition."

Even if the firmware of that PS4 isn't 9.00 or less it'll still be used for gaming.

Up to 11.0 is now hackable with the brand new exploit. Don't update past that if you want free gaemz.

I bought it for like $50 as the guy wanted to get rid of it so I'll see what version it'll have.

And it's the white PS4 so it's a change from consoles being all black.

My frog tank arrived yesterday with the "wrong" substrate. I had ordered 3 2kg(so 6kg total) bags of Exo Terra substrate but received an 8 kg bag of Fluval Stratum instead. Exo Terra and Fluval are owned by the same company, and the substrates are the same, except that Fluval is more expensive than Exo Terra. They also missed some plants, but I received a refund for those.

I ordered a bottle of Gorilla Glue to create the background of the tank and a small personal blender to blend some moss into a slurry to cover the background with moss.

No back to game stuff... my best friend got me Sea of Thieves for PS5.

Made a new account and bought EZ Omega Flash Definitive for cheaper ($50) than what it goes for ($70+/-).

It'd go great with a backlit GBA...

Got a remarkably cool bit of kit here with a 4K60 multiviewer!

Basically can take up to four HDMI inputs and display them in a variety of different ways, but it basically allows any monitor to do 2x2 PbP, which is something I've been wanting for a good while now. The only downside is that it has HDCP enabled by default, which means I can't use it for what I originally wanted to (turning my one 4K capture card into four 1080/60 capture cards). It is possible to disable HDCP on the device, but the only way is by connecting it to the PC via serial port... And of course they don't include a cable to actually facilitate that.

If anybody knows anywhere that will sell a 3 pin phoenix to RS-232 cable in the UK I'm all ears lol
