#emulators

Bashing my head against a wall cuz of people who don't understand how the #NintendoDS backwards compatibility works between older DS models and the newer ones that don't have a #GBA slot, but act like they do

The #DSi got rid of the GBA hardware along with the GBA slot. The DSi hacks are #emulators

@cstross Wow! This is a great example of the power of virtual platforms, #emulators, and also disciplined state control in a programming language. The fact that you can run this inside a #pdf is also instructive — yet another attack vector.
Also, I’ll bet there are many packages out there to do cross-compilation from #RISC-V to other machines. Remind me never to use Adobe Acrobat.

Well, the Watchers have descended upon Earth and all hope was lost. All that's left now is what was left when I played #Drakengard as a kid. That's right, we're collecting the last few secret weapons and running through the final ending, which ties into #NieR, somehow. Come stop by for the conclusion of this odd old #PS2 game on today's #Sunday #Stream #Shenanigans!

We skipped Ending B last time, completely by accident, so today we're gonna try and finish that, before diving into the deep end that is endings D and E. You won't wanna miss this one, so come stop by and chill with us as we defeat the goddess, call down the Watchers, and get closer towards #NieR on our journey through #Drakengard on today's #Sunday #Stream #Shenanigans!

"Here's a pleasant surprise: For once an emulator is being discontinued, and it's not bad news," writes @wes.readonlymemo.com for his newsletter, @readonlymemo. He discusses how the Lime3DS, which picked up the code from Citra after Nintendo's settlement with Yuzu, is joining forces with another developer to create a new, yet-to-be-named emulator. "No longer will development be fragmented between these forks, and instead all progress will be made in a single coordinated effort," the Lime3DS devs wrote in their latest update." Also in this issue, an update on N64 core developer Robert Peip's emulator work, and a fan translation of Saturn RPG Princess Crown that is proving messy.
