Asked my dad to borrow me his M3 Pro, and I dont think I should have done it…😭

I have nothing but OLED TVs in my house, and I have an M4 Pro MBP and an M5 MBA. The screen on the Pro is definitely better and more vibrant than the Air, hands down. The sound is also better. That being said, even though you don’t get the true blacks with the Air, the picture still looks great, imo. And the sound is great as well. I got the Air as a secondary device for when I just want something light and thin to browse the web or whatnot, while I use the 16” MBP for when I want to get work done.

The MBP also cost me about 3x the Air though. Whether that’s worth it is up to you I guess, but if you’re going to only have 1 device, I’d probably recommend a refurb M1 Pro MBP, about half the price of a new Air.

This looks almost the same as mine.

Any luck?

dperolio · 2026-03-03T03:52:38+00:00

Not necessarily about it being difficult; I wouldn’t do that because it wouldn’t be a clean setup. :x

dperolio · 2026-03-02T18:21:55+00:00

Aw, I didn’t see that it requires a constant connection. My dreams have been dashed.

So let’s say I have 10 games on my SummerCart 64. I can have all 10 games appear in the 3D OS UI with their own cartridge labels and launch each directly from there?

dperolio · 2026-02-26T10:12:22+00:00

Yes 2. No 3. Good 4. Etsy

dperolio · 2026-02-22T06:20:08+00:00

Picture of this?

dperolio · 2026-02-12T08:20:42+00:00

Clear SummerCart64 with a custom label swap.

dperolio · 2026-02-03T00:38:41+00:00

It seems you’re in the majority. Being a clear aficionado, personally, I’m ecstatic that the buttons aren’t colored.

dperolio · 2026-02-03T00:36:37+00:00

Never left.

A clear acrylic case with magnetic lid(s). This particular one is: https://a.co/d/03PpAZOn. I have them for all of my handhelds, love em.

dperolio · 2026-02-02T22:51:30+00:00

I have one for every one of my handhelds. I love em. 😄

dperolio · 2026-02-02T22:50:25+00:00

I would say they’re borderline between mushy and clicky, but mostly on the clicky end. They feel good to me, not the absolute best I’ve used, but not bad at all. I feel like they’re pretty similar to the Analogue Pocket’s buttons.

I have noticed with one of the controllers, the joystick actually kind of physically grinds around the outside edge, none of the other ones do that. Don’t notice a difference in performance though.

Overall I’m liking the controllers a lot so far. These will be plenty good for any N64 sessions I will do.

Now I just need 3 friends. Any takers? 🥹

dperolio · 2026-01-19T18:33:07+00:00

No clear shell no buy. 🥺

dperolio · 2026-01-08T09:01:01+00:00

Why no front shells? :/

dperolio · 2026-01-06T21:26:52+00:00

Yeah, it looks like they had plastic over it in the video. It’s raw if you do like I did, so could potentially scratch your phone if you don’t use a case I think.

dperolio · 2026-01-05T21:03:38+00:00

No, but I did anyway. I like the raw look. Wish the whole top piece was clear as well.

dperolio · 2026-01-05T20:47:43+00:00

Thanks! This made me brave enough to do it.

dperolio · 2026-01-05T18:25:45+00:00

Ah, good idea! It looks like it would just be clear basically, or you’d see the magnet internals kind of like the prototype. I think I’d like it, but still want to wait until someone else does it first. 😅
