@NekoEd so far i've updated the bios and i'm seeing if it happens again. i'll let you know if it does

@mavica_again depends what you want to do with it tbh, i'm not sure how much the small one was but the 2 controllers one was Β£25 which seems a bit much for what it is

they are purely famiclones w/ multigame rom on internal flash so if you wanted to convert it into an emu box you'd prob only be keeping the shell and maybe controller pcbs and replacing the rest

it crashed again, again all I was doing was watching a stream and browsing the web
The thermals seem fine, I'm running memtest86 now & no errors. Nothing is in the event logs before it crashes
How do I even figure out what the issue is here

some mini-arcade famiclones seen in Flying Tiger today...
Typo also had a handheld which I'm pretty sure was the same one I saw last week but in different colours. But the sales person was hovering so I didn't take a photo

Well I bought an adapter and now the monitor works so I was about ready to say it's all good now but then it just fully crashed while I was browsing the web so. hmm

I finally swapped it out with the old PC. The glass side faces the wall so it just kinda lights up its corner
Stilllll not fully ready though because it doesn't work with the USB C-DisplayPort cable I have which I was relying on to connect one of my monitors to it πŸ™ƒ

my old pc will probably be decommissioned soon so just for posterity here's its wallpaper

computers these days pretend they're above all that, like they're too good to just fire bits back and forth with something running a Z80 or whatever. ohhh nooo i only know usb and bluetooth i need a protocol
you're not so different really! you still speak zeroes and ones when it comes down to it

well even though I have not touched this in a bit I did install the Secret Weapon and it does work! the shiny new 2025 PC can still talk to a simple game boy

That PC I built has been sitting on the floor in my living room for 10 days

I don't know I feel like I'm not getting a break lately. If it seems like I've been less present in places i'd normally be in online or doing less of things I'd normally do. idk I just haven't had the time and/or mental capacity. Just bouncing from one thing to another & trying to get enough sleep

it's really hard to communicate with him I have him on whatsapp & he just doesn't reply to simple questions & when he does it's not even an answer half the time
