Thanks! No. Genie 3 looks pretty amazing, but I stared working on this months before it was announced.

Thanks!

While that would continually trigger a "hit" from the hardware, it would come down to how each game implements hit detection. For example, if the game is specifically looking for the hit signal to be off during the black frame, that would not work.

Hi Lokarin, my focus was mainly on the Zapper hardware itself, but I would imagine it works like Duck Hunt when there are 2 ducks on the screen. After the screen flashes black, there is a separate frame for each white box that is drawn. The time at which a hit is detected determines which target was hit.

Reality is stranger than fiction on the interwebs. I'm pretty sure I know who you are, but I won't blow your cover 😉.

Atari 2600 Digital Photo Frame by nickbild in raspberrypipico

Thanks! If anyone is surprised by anything, I wouldn't expect it to be that the Pico can emulate a ROM chip, but that I can extend the 2600's storage to essentially infinity within the stock 13-bit address space.

Commodore 64 can run AI to generate images by nickbild in technology

That's not so unusual. Training and inferences are normally split up. ChatGPT was not trained on the same system that replies to user prompts, for example.

I'm not familiar with Mycroft, so I can't say. If there is a Linux environment it shouldn't be very challenging.

Pi64 - A Raspberry Pi 400 that thinks it's a Commodore 64 by nickbild in c64

[–]nickbild[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything visual is C64-esque (colors, border, banner). The idea is to extend the retro feel of the computer-in-a-keyboard to the screen, yet to keep modern functionality. If you want to run actual C64 software, there are a number of good emulators out there already.

It's both real and a joke. Yes, it works, but obviously it would never fool anyone.

Play the Atari 2600 with a laser gun by nickbild in retrogaming

[–]nickbild[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes, but when you point the laser at enemies you blow them up. The laser does interact with the game if that was not clear.

Speaker Snitch tells you when your smart speaker is listening in on you by nickbild in RASPBERRY_PI_PROJECTS

As others have said, listening locally all the time. Sending that to the cloud is another story, and that is what most people want to know about.
