Fuck Nintendo

It’s garbage for learning a language but it’s phenomenal for memorizing and gameifying learning nouns and verbs. I’ve been going through the Japanese lessons one jump at a time and it’s been great to brush up on all the words I’ve forgotten.

I hook it up to TVs all the time! It looks great on my 1080p projector on a 95" screen and perfectly acceptable on my girlfriends ginormous 4K TV.

I have been enjoying the original console I designed and built myself running a raspberry pi 5 and a fully built and compiled retropie that can crank out some dolphin and redream with full 60fps. I have plenty 90s gaming I need to catch up on.

For everything moderately modern, I have a steam deck. If it doesn’t or cannot run on my retropie or my deck then I’ll wait till the next hardware refresh. If it takes half a decade, all the better.

Yikes! That’s just about the worst case scenario. It’s maddening the shortcuts companies play to save literally pennies. Sounds like you’ve at least solved the problem so hopefully the replacement and all that work is fruitful!

I did a quick look and it doesn’t look like the switch is directly on the motherboard so most likely there’s a JST plug or something similar with wire leads that then hook into the switch and/or a daughter board. If it’s just two wires into a JST plug you can replace the switch with anything similar or if you wanna be ghetto about it just touch the two wires together to make a short.

You can probably get the exact switch if you look hard enough since almost everything but the exterior shell will be commodity components.

Good luck!

Honestly, momentary switches are the simplest of all circuits. The only hard part will be soldering a new one into the old leads. What laptop is it? I can look and see what I think.

Unfortunately your guide links to stuff on adafruit that’s out of stock - mostly the screen/microprocessor…

I found this guide that has a walk through with full code and an easy to use library for making the interface quite a bit better:

I’m going to be building two initially for myself and my girlfriends kid but once I work out the details I’ll post it up on the fediverse somewhere with the full code to get going.

I am much more keen to use C instead of Python for something like a clock although I’m sure circuit-python is fast enough, id rather stick to native libraries.

I kinda wanna reverse/side engineer a replica you can DIY because fuck Nintendo.

You gotta remember that this is a training video and showing the best of the best vs. what you’d normally see which is much more sloppy. You’d only be this exact if you’re getting dressed down for fucking up something big or in garrison doing something in front of spectators, like a parade or when someone is getting a big promotion and their family is there, or flag duty… stuff like that.

gross.

That’s just a false dichotomy fallacy.

My mom is dead, bellend.

LOL Cope dickcheese.

Veganism isn’t a diet.

no…

i mean yes

Who’s fault is that?

The screenshots in the IGN page for the game itself look like something last gen. What the fuck? It’s not even up to Stray/CP2077 fidelity and those run on my fucking Steamdeck…

Is the suxbox that much of a dumpster fire?

I finally got to see one of these in person! What a fucking dumb design… It’s not even aerodynamic!
