It was a struggle to get the right combinations of plugins going for pj64. I never had the console myself so I was happy with whatever I could get. Zelda64 and Majora’s mask were really all I was interested in. The SNES NES and PSX were really where I spent most of my time emulating. PC piracy was another beast. Cdcopyworld and all the DRM cracks or mini-iso files loaded up with daemon tools or alcohol to bypass cd checks. What a time to be alive.
When I started, I was downloading mp3s and recording them on to cassettes. Use what you have. As for console games, there were DOS based SNES NES and geneses emulators for those who didn’t have the hardware.
Pj64 was emulating Nintendo64 titles while the console was still releasing titles.
Napster, limewire bearshare, winmx DC++ were all around before bit torrent was used for downloads.
Hooked up the family computer to the tv using a video card with s video output and impressed the whole family!
It looks like a glorified ‘developer mode’ switch that has the 1 day wait to prevent someone from grabbing your phone, turning on sideloading, installing some hazardous app, and then having their way with your info. This appears to be the best of both worlds.
Like when unlocking your bootloader wiped your info. Just do it first. not a year in to using your device, if thats your plan.
Sounds like Macos 9 vs windows 95 all over again.
Man… This brought me back. I remember Mininiva, demonoid, isohunt. Wow. Now I usually just use one of the 1337x mirrors.
So far, gridfinity and other storage management prints. It’s amazing that all the drawer organizers I’ve bought over the years just kind of mostly worked. Now with gridfinity everything is organized and clean.
I’ve got a few to work, but I find gog releases work much better than anything else because there are no cracks.
Once you learn things like prefix=virtual machine (more or less) it gets easier.
I bought mine straight from Bambu. Could smell burning electronics after 50p hours of use or so. Then it wouldn’t turn on. No interaction whatsoever. Contacted support, had to dismantle and send a few pics. A quick video of me plugging it in and the results. Then they shipped me a new power board. Installed it and carried on. It was very obvious what part had failed. I was frustrated at first but all told, it was a pretty good experience.
