Re: Some observations from a UNIX sysadmin

I would be willing to try! I haven't noticed any major slowdowns but I could see some room for improvement. Just let me know what you need me to try and I'll see what I can do. I've been fighting personally with trying to hide the console screen during launch of an emulator, but it seems like this i...

Re: Retrostone 2 is coming soon

If this comes out in a non-GameBoy DMG form, I ain't upgrading, simple as. The form factor was what attracted me to it in the first place, as opposed to its predecessor which is... more horizontal, kinda. I would also be a fan of keeping DMG style if not for the use of Analogue sticks. The current ...

That would probably resolve the heat issue, thoug...

Re: D-Pad fix please!!

Approximately. I don't have a micrometer to make exact measurements, so someone with more exact measurement tools might be able to get the exact measurements needed. The amount it needs to be raised from the PCB, and lowered from the bottom of the DPad is very small but makes a huge difference. Also...

Re: D-Pad fix please!!

After experimenting with my D Pad, I believe I have figured out the problem. The center pivot for the D-Pad is just a little too short. It needs to be about 1mm taller to make the D-pad stand up from the board a bit more when it's pressed so it doesn't sink into the case as deeply as it does. On the...
