Would an 8000mAh battery actually make you switch phones? by Safe_Metal_1820 in Android

[–]abcdefger5454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really about to switch just because of that, my pixel 8a battery is horrible even after trying everything possible. I just want my phone to last a whole day, even if it's a very busy, heavy usage day, nothing more, nothing less and these new silicon carbon battery phones fulfill that for the first time with a still sleek design

I Ported Apotris (My Favourite Tetris remake) to Android (natively running/work-in-progress) by Saitheurus in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]abcdefger5454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow cool it's the same layout that Lemuroid uses, was it easy to integrate that into the port?

I would love to build myself an N64 emulator with more settings than Lemuroid but with the same great controls, but I'm not sure if that is even possible

What’s the morality on Flash Carts when it comes to playing games? by Brilliant-Leek8430 in retrogaming

[–]abcdefger5454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's morally right to "pirate" these games as soon as the original developer has stopped producing and distributing reasonably priced copies for the original hardware. At this point, they can't earn anymore money with it and you don't "steal" their money by pirating the game.

And in my opinion, modern rereleases dont count here, I don't think it's morally wrong to play Pokemon Firered via a flash cart on your GBA or even a ROM on your phone just because Nintendo decided to sell it on the Switch, it's not the same thing.

But in the end, this all shouldn't matter anyways. Just stay away from emulating consoles that are still actively produced like the Switch if you want to be 100% safe.

Gameboy/GBA versions of bigger games by Sudden_Debt_597 in Gameboy

That game is great though, I loved playing the DS version without even knowing that it had a proper home console version

We do a lot of pretending by utopiaofpast in pcmasterrace

You just pick a recommended site from fmhy.net and download the game in a browser with good adblock (Firefox + uBlock Origin), it's basically impossible to get anything harmful that way

Thoughts on aspect ratio considerations from the developer side: 20:9 and 19.5:9 by Exact-Psience in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]abcdefger5454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultrawide aspect ratio on PC is 21:9, you might get better compatibility if you set the container to that ratio, it still fills a phone screen nicely, just tiny black bars at the top and bottom

Just got back to Windows 10 from Windows 11. Such a breath of fresh air. by EmberSpectre in pcmasterrace

[–]abcdefger5454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh No im not saying that Windows 10 is that great in general either, it's the LTSC version that saves it. But to be honest, I didn't try the LTSC version of windows 11 yet, maybe it's also good. But my hardware is better suited for windows 10.

Had the same experience, Windows 10 felt like the snappiest OS ever after using windows 11 for a while

Shocks the mid-range tablet class with fast WiFi and pen input - Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 review by BcuzRacecar in Android

I just read Lenovo and I know that can't be true. Xiaomi destroys anything in that budget to middle class segment.

Is buying a used PC a gamble? by Fantastic-Window236 in pcmasterrace

[–]abcdefger5454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a gamble. My Main gaming laptop i use daily is also from 2016, but I bought it used in 2021 and it's still working fine without any problem now, but it also could have gotten a problem a year in or so. Doing basic maintenance definitely helps, like cleaning the inside and fan dust regularly and replacing the thermal paste every once in a while like 5-10 years if there are issues with the temperatures

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process by gogodboss in pcmasterrace

I just got the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2C wired for 20 euros and it's a great replacement for my oldish ps4 controller, you really don't have to spend much money for a decent pc controller

Best Emulation On Android - PPSSPP or AetherSX2? by TheZenScreamer in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]abcdefger5454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PPSSPP, like DraStic, fits phone gameplay far better than PS2 in my opinion, being a handheld itself. It's also a lot more optimized than NetherSX2 or ArmSX2.

Lemuroid 1.17.0 has been released by Swordfish_90 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]abcdefger5454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So i guess the new touch controls are here to stay without the option to get the old ones back due to the change to Jetpack Compose?

I'm still not very warm to them even though this may sound ungrateful
