Punch a tree in Minecraft?

tbh it’s really not worth all the hype unless you want to take the 100-300 hours to set it up properly and ensure all the boxart is there.

So Rocknix isn’t as developed like Emuelec and all the other Linux gaming front ends? Because fixing boxart was one of the huge hassles on the Retroid 3+. The Retroid front end got 90% of the art but fixing that last 10% took hours. In comparison my Anbernic and Miyoo Mini were perfect. And customizing it was trivial because I could stick the SD card in my PC and move the files around. The Retroid front end didn’t let you do that. The other hassle was some of the emulators on the Retroid had their own menus so entering and exiting games wasn’t a single button push like Linux emulators.

Have you tried Rocknix on this Retroid? I have a Retroid 3 but I never use it because Android is bad at being a handheld gaming device. (Boot is slow and just letting it sleep means it’s dead in 3 days.)

I love Retroid hardware so I’m intrigued that it says you can run Linux.

Has anyone got these working in emulators? Apparently some have been converted to work in emulators but I haven’t been able to actually find them. The Internet archive link doesn’t work.

That’s an amazing resource! I’ve only used eBay. I had no idea there was a company doing parts.

Unlikely. They put a fake keyboard on their most recent Atari 400 despite many 400 games requiring a keyboard.

People said it was just a frogger rip off but as a 2 player game it was really fun.

It’s the 2600 Asteroids but I don’t get the reference? Is this a badge awarded from an emulator?

The author is confusing two completely different things and comes to a wrong conclusion.

He states that C isn’t low level because CPU are much more complex today. But those aren’t related. His argument would be no different if he claimed assembly isn’t a low level language.

That the CPU speculatively executes instructions and maintains many levels of cache doesn’t change that C is low level. Even if you wrote a program in OP codes you can’t change that.

There was a single paragraph to support his argument that was optimizing compilers can create machine code wildly different than what might be expected.

Then he goes off on a complete tangent of how C isn’t good for parallel processing which has nothing to do with his thesis.
