<![CDATA[Hooboy. I won a R36S at a hacker conference a few days ago.]]>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+++++

Whenever 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.

You'd have to go a bit more up-market to get enough CPU for proper emulation.
