Check your #3DS battery if you haven't in a long time. Went to turn on my softmodded #2DS after being neglected for a couple of years. The #battery was shot. After a bit of charging, I'd turn it on. Blue light appears for a few seconds and then turns off with no screen activity. Thankfully I can pick a new one up for cheap and it's dead simple to change the battery. #nintendo

Giving game show vibes

Got a request to share the source code of my Atari 2600 game Wizards & Dinosaurs; it's now included! (MIT license)

@ArcadeRave good to hear!

@ArcadeRave I forgot to ask, how are the boss battles?

@retrotechtive A Very Commodore Christmas :c64:

@gloriouscow I have the issue too! I went to look for a post I had reposted a couple weeks ago and I couldn't find it at all.

This might actually be my solution to playing Amiga games since Icaros wouldn't install on any of my computers (or if it did, it couldn't boot into Icaros)

@anubiarts of course! :guilded_heart:

@anubiarts your icons are really cute and more folks should know about them!

Looks like I'll be checking out the Hobbes Archive for OS/2 software to run on ArcaOS. I'm happy to see that it's been archived and saved, as the original archive went down a few years ago. https://hobbesarchive.com

@iamkonstantin @anubiarts drop your links!

@ArcadeRave ooh, I might actually like that. I was quite a big fan of the rooms in Prime 3 (probably my most favorite game in the Prime series)

@ArcadeRave how does it compare to Other M as far as being linear is concerned? I remember that game being pretty linear and I honestly didn't mind it. I just didn't like that game because I found it to be ridiculously difficult in some areas.

@vga256 I grew up reading the Sunday comics (I liked them cause they were in color) and I remember liking For Better or For Worse for the family dynamic. Other classics (aside from the ones you listed) that I remember were Peanuts, Dennis the Menace, Garfield, Archie, Dilbert, and a few others that I can't seem to remember off hand. I miss reading those comics, and luckily the newspaper I got the comics from still prints a physical paper.

I added an internal speaker (from an old iPad) and headphone jack to my Typeframe. Since I used a Pi 5 with no on-board analog audio, I used a USB audio dongle.

I was delighted to learn of the simplicity of switching 3.5mm headphone jacks. They have 5 poles instead of 3. The audio source and internal speaker are wired to the headphone jack pins. They're normally closed and the internal speaker works. Plug in headphones, it switches. So simple!

Yep, it runs MacOS 7.5 really wide 🙃

I also cobbled together a systray icon for the battery status using Python. It retrieves the battery info from the Power Management Hat over serial and updates the systray icon as needed. The tooltip shown appears when you mouse over or tap the battery icon.

@eniko depending on when that feature was implemented, I might have never been in the version I played. I only played on 360 and PS3 and those were only updated until 2020. On top of that, they didn't get everything Java and the newer consoles (bedrock) got in features.
