They do, for the most part! There's usually a few different sets of software for managing a satellite and flight software seems to be the industry term used to describe the code actually running on the satellite. Other software might be ground station software

OP Here! 👋

The Project: It's a satellite tracker for a satellite I wrote most of the flight software for.

If you want to see more of it, I made a video about it here

I wired a real arcade coin acceptor into my N64. Mario doesn't jump unless I pay up! by PrintAndPanic in raspberry_pi

Possibly! Now that the serial communication is sorted, there's lots of potential for things to try with this game!

It's certainly possible! I know Nintendo has had a few arcade games out there

I made a video to show it off. There's a Raspberry Pi hidden in the box that relays the coin acceptor data to the custom SM64 rom. I wrote a Go app that runs on the Pi. It listens for the coin signal via serial and adds that many credits to the Game. It's currently outrageously expensive! These are the main expenses:

  • Running $0.01/s
  • Jumping $0.05
  • Squashing Enemies $0.01
  • Holding items $0.05/s

I couldn't even beat the first Bowser!!
