This’ll probably get buried, but fuck it. As a kid I was a product tester for LeapFrog and VTECH. I’d take home unreleased products, use them for a few weeks, and give my feedback on them. Most of the things I’d test were pretty forgettable, but I was able to keep a PVT Leapster Explorer which I still have to this day. Because I showed such a strong interest for it and since it was basically a retail model, the adults at leapfrog let me keep it. Years later I still have it, and always wondered how hard it’d be to run, well, anything on it. GBA emulation was always what I had in mind, but I never truly started work on it due to lack of documentation. Seeing this is amazing, Im so happy to see someone get under the hood of one of these!

I then wrote a letter to Santa begging him to give me a gameboy for christmas. To this day I am still haunted by the letter I got back from Santa saying "I'm very sorry Jacob, but I cannot give you a gameboy. There are kids out there who desperately need a gameboy more than you do, especially since you already have something way better, you have a Leapster L-Max! Merry Christmas!"

they have mono audio

@SianaGearz Жыл бұрын

@@namesurname4666 Under Linux they have stereo audio now. Also you can install a janky thing to recover stereo audio under Windows. Someone figured out what the problem was, i think it might have been marcan42 from the legendary Team Twiizers. They had a hardware bug with sample start which would occasionally cause the two channels to jump and swap places, so they papered over it by re-declaring what should have been a 48KHz stereo audio into 96KHz mono, with a last minute USB descriptor change. And the samples for the two channels just come interleaved, so when the audio is downsampled to 48KHz or less, the aliasing suppression filter in the downsampling algorithm ends up averaging the two streams to true mono. With sufficient workarounds in USB driver stack, you can fix the sample start issue, and then you just have to re-interpret the data the way it was originally intended. Macrosilicon probably would have considered respinning and fixing the chip for real, but given it was the silicon shortage era and thus massive supply issues, they would have likely been unable to launch the IC at all had they done that, soooo off it went being manufactured buggy like that. And after all even the way it was, the chip was an adequate enough substitute for Camlink, so it was useful enough. Even then they kind of kept it on the down low and uncharacteristically didn't advertise the chip or publish the specs for the longest time. People have mixed mileage with the hardware though. It can be either reliable or die in 2 hours, seems it might have some silicon quality issues or cooling related, these sorts of things.

The effect at 2:33 sounds _beautiful._ Also, that is a sentence I vibe with very much. "I'm installing Windows on a Mac Mini because I couldn't use Linux properly on my PS4, also I can play RetroArch on a LeapFrog" is such a powerful statement. I'm the kind of guy who somehow had my BIOS think a 16GB stick of RAM was 54GB while trying to get Windows Boot Manager to cooperate on a new drive with identical partition GUIDs (the third time I changed boot drives, and I had to reinstall Windows 10 all three times but still have the same Ubuntu installation from high school, also on the first time I corrupted winlogon.exe), and also one of my Ubuntu VMs boots with the Kali splash and I didn't do that on purpose. I just think the Kali xfce themes are cool, alright? So cool, that I've gone out of my way to install them on both of my bare metal Linux installs, including Kali, because I accidentally installed that without any GUI whatsoever the first time around. So yes. I vibe with "Windows on a Mac because Ubuntu on the PS4 broke while installing Arch on a LeapFrog." I aspire to treating "cross-platform" like it refers to a _platformer._

This is really useful when SSH is being called by a script and you can't pass CLI arguments to SSH directly.

I made a video on this with a Leapster Explorer and it was a lot of fun! I used Pop!_OS in VMWare on my Windows machine and it worked flawlessly on the first time. I even wrote some of the documentation on the Github page!

I used to use my Leapster Explorers/GSs a lot, so seeing this was mindblowing. I really want to try this.

i remember when i was 5 and had a leapster. i found a glitch in this math game to farm coins for the in-game arcade, bypassing the need to do the math puzzles

I’ve been holding onto my Leapster Didj for years waiting for the day I can make a video on it. I mean it was my introduction to the Sonic series.

1:40 does anyone remember what that game in the top left corner is??? When I saw it I got hit by nostalgia as hard as a truck, and now I cant find that game! all I remember was catching creatures in that game, and I am not sure if that's even right.
