#Batocera läuft schonmal und auch ein paar Konsolen und Spiele sind schon drauf.
Die meisten davon sind noch vor meiner Zeit. Gibt es hier Retro-Gamer die mir Empfehlungen geben können, welche Titel ich undbedingt spielen sollte? Gerne auch für Multiplayer mit K1

Last but not least: I've got an NESRGB on the way to the US from Australia. This is the final bit that I always wanted to install, and figured this Frankenstein's monster of a frontloader NES would be perfect with some nice RGB outputs instead of the standard composite outputs.

I vaguely remember an #Amiga game where you had to kill giant mutant ants. Half the game was a top-down view where you had to escape a hospital without getting caught. Anybody else remember that? #RetroGaming

The new new case came in for the NES, fits perfectly. Still waiting on the replacement screw kit to come in along with the NES Slotmaster replacement which fixes the biggest issue with the frontloader. Even better: haven't sheared off any of the screws in the case unlike the previous one.

Me, after rendering my RPi4's OS unbootable: that's it, I'm done with this shit. Linux on ARM is just more trouble than it's worth.
Also me: Oh hey, these retrogaming handhelds look fun. And they run Linux, you say? Hmm...

Tonight's the night for a Retro Pixel Party! We're diving deep into nostalgia with The Settlers (1993), streaming live from my Linux PC. Get ready for some classic resource management and pixelated perfection! Hope to see you there! #RetroGaming #TheSettlers

Okay, final purchase for the NES: an 8-pin mini-DIN to SCART cable for the NES. Kind of a pain in the ass to track down, but RetroGamingConsoles had my back like always. Not a cheap cable, but it'll get the job done perfectly with respect to output from the NESRGB into the RetroTINK.

The pub also had proper old school arcade games -- one Pac Man and one Space Invaders -- set to free play. And there was a young lad, looked maybe 11 or 12, having the time of his life on those.

LLMs fail at old video games because LLMs don't think, they just regurgitate pre-ingested information, and older video games (and some new ones) have so much chaos and unpredictability baked in that you can't navigate them simply by regurgitating things.

Okay, had to make a second order of components because we're kinda off the script for hooking up the NESRGB on the NESessity board. Grabbed a 7 pin header for the P1 controller so I can use the controller to change the RGB palette in use as I don't want to use a mechanical switch. Also, I really want to ensure I can remove the NESRGB without desoldering anything.
Also, it's recommended to use a second 5V linear voltage regulator, but I'm going to skip it. The reason it's recommended is that the OG NES frontloader 5V voltage regulator will overheat due to the small heatsink size. On this build, I'm pretty sure the regulator is more than sufficient to dissipate the extra heat...lol
