Hooboy. I won a R36S at a hacker conference a few days ago. I love classic games and was eyeing it for a while, but hadn't invested in one because I have emulators all over. In the intervening week, obviously I've bought a case, a wifi dongle for it, the adapter for the wifi dongle, a SD card, a couple shareware utilities to configure it and troubleshoot it, and spent about 8 hours fighting with identifying the screen to install dArkOS and get the wifi dongle working, reconfiguring fstab to get it to see my second micro SD properly, and reloading games.
Well, I now have it working, minus sound (I think that I have a newer and yet unsupported model). But who needs sound when you have Contra? I actually haven't really played any games. I just keep adding stuff to it.
This little guy is going to be a lot of fun, but I think more of a fun hacking and troubleshooting it perhaps, than actually playing the games.
And I've definitely spent more than it cost the prize-givers. XD
Would recommend to train any young gamer-prospective hackers to use linux and fight with hardware! A+++++
@hacks4pancakes When I first got into Linux, it turned out that making games run was more fun than playing them ^^

@NNN wait, hang on, how is this message 4 minutes into the future?

@christopherkunz @NNN @hacks4pancakes LMAO
perhaps this may get a exploit finder excited for 5 minutes and then find out that this is fine
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

@rotnroll666 @darthvader42 Na, not worried about those drivers. Capable people working on them.

@fancysandwiches @lyceris @NNN Being one myself, I don't. It just works. Although maybe I have a boring device, none of those Transformers-named mobile GPUs, which I read can be, um, not-boring on Linux.

Your travails remind me of this meme@NNN @hacks4pancakes Windows users: "Yeah, that's the thing, as a Windows user I never need to worry about drivers! ...Please don't breathe in the general direction of my Windows XP machine, it might fall apart and then I can't use this very important, very expensive device of mine any more. ...You think this is bad? Some of my buddies are on OS/2."

Your travails remind me of this memeWhenever I see exactly this meme ... I always think of Seth Vidal. I don't say this to discourage the sharing - but because it hits the real-life nerve quite on the spot.
