I have ordered a succulent Chinese meal

should i order food or nah

i tried to use one of those scraper services to fill in the gaps in the metadata and it just plain got a lot of things wrong like labelling 5 different megaman games all as "Mega Man 2". so now i have to go into some xml files and manually fix it all i guess........

I bought the bundle with an SD card full of roms both cos i'm lazy and like to see what they include. It's kind of a mess though with a lot of different sets that make no sense, inconsistent metadata/images etc. also there are no mario or pokemon games because they are cowards

Like there was an update and I installed it & it made the menu layout better but now a bunch of emulators don't have sound. Linux shit

General impressions: Screen very good, controls decent, plastic feels a bit cheap. It's fully open source & came with JELOS out of the box which is decent but lots of rough linuxy edges and 1000 settings to fiddle with, def a tinkerer's device

This is the emulator console with a square screen that I bought cos I thought it'd be ideal for tate arcade games, and it kinda is!!

She pow on my kiddy til I *EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER*

I'm a genius

I've been manually crossposting all that pocket stuff today & it's making me think I should maybe set up something automated, if that's even possible with the current state of ex-twitter...
I didn't want to do that before because I thought I'd probably only be active on one site & didn't want to be firing off auto posts to an account I never check.
But I'm now finding myself active on both and really if I have something interesting/stupid to post I prob do want to share it with both audiences

The Analogue Pocket was Not the only handheld to arrive into my possession today btw but I'll maybe post about the other one tomorrow

so leaving aside its compatibility with weird carts.... my overall Gamer Opinion so far is that yes the screen is very very good and just about the best these games are ever gonna look
BUT i think it's less comfortable to actually play on than any official gameboy model i own? it's kind of a big heavy unergonomic brick of a thing
