Hallo liebe Nerds,
heute gibt es ein kleines Update auf dem Blog. Freue mich über jeden Like und Boost von euch. Folgt mir auch gerne, um direkt benachrichtigt zu werden bei neuen Updates.
Heute geht es um:
Switch 2 ist offiziell und ich bin gar nicht gehypt
Da war sie nun gewesen, die Präsentation der neuen Nintendo Konsole. Der offizielle Release-Termin laut Nintendo ist der 5. Juni 2025. Alle kaufwütigen Zocker können sich dann zwei Versionen kaufen. Zum einen die Konsole an sich für 469,99 € und ein Paket mit Mario Kart World. Hier gab es auf der Homepage von Nintendo noch keine Preisangabe. Laut diverser Seiten sollte sich der Preis […]

The AYANEO Pocket Micro (Classic), I've been talking about. Arrived this week, and I gotta admit... this is top-tier product design and build quality. Review on @overkillwtf soon!
By the way, I’ve fallen headfirst into the retro gaming rabbit hole thanks to the AYANEO Pocket Micro. Bought an Anbernic RG35XX H a day later and spent yesterday's whole evening with @retrogamecorps's shader guide. What have I done?

An Ode To The Game Boy Advance

A very deep dive into this notable piece of computing (and gaming) history.
The second official SteamOS device got a bit more expensive.
Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS will land May 25 for $50 more than expected
@blakespot I have a couple of those from back when they were current.
They were generally known for emulation, but they had great native software as well.
Sadly, it''s one of very few platforms that as far as I know, has never been emulated in software or
reproduced in FPGA.
Tell us how you really feel!

Quake ported to Arduino Nano Matter. [Using only 276kb RAM]
Nicola Wrachien with Silicon Labs created this fun handheld, porting Quake using the Arduino Nano Matter. For easy playing a custom controller shaped board was designed with joysticks and a screen.

For a much tougher challenge, a group from Silicon Labs decided to port DOOM‘s successor, Quake, to the Arduino Nano Matter Board platform instead even though this platform has some pretty significant limitations for a game as advanced as Quake.

To begin work on the memory problem, the group began with a port of Quake originally designed for Windows, allowing them to use a modern Windows machine to whittle down the memory usage before moving over to hardware. They do have a flash memory module available as well, but there’s a speed penalty with this type of memory. To improve speed they did what any true gamer would do with their system: overclock the processor. This got them to around 10 frames per second, which is playable, but not particularly enjoyable.
The further optimizations to improve the FPS required a much deeper dive which included generating lookup tables instead of relying on computation, optimizing some of the original C programming, coding some functions in assembly and only refreshing certain sections of the screen when needed.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/206/081/241/901/037/original/72dec8d287dd1c33.png "[ImageSource: Nicola Wrachien]

This thread is a mixed bag of @playdate news:
The price of the console is going up in future 
but you can buy refurbished hardware for a discounted price 
or grab a console NOW at the existing price 
I like my Playdate. It's a very fun handheld console to use and I really admire that @panic ventured into that space.
