I got it working, fairly easily actually. I think I might have been getting mixed up with DosBox. šŸ˜… ---

Good news! Finally emulated my favorite game of all time Halo 2!. But the game stutters a little bit and teh frames drop. Any recommendations besides mabey increasing my laptopā€™s ram! ---

Random question, but does anyone have any of the old [Sega Game/ My Cards](https://sega.fandom.com/wiki/Sega_Card) that they might be able to take a photo of for me? ---

I wish I did. Those were cool. They always blew my mind because no other storage was that small at the time. ---

I think it would be cool to make an emulation device from a ps2 memory card. ---

lol, did you also post this to Instagram? I was scrolling yesterday and saw this device, but I didnā€™t catch the person who posted it. Was it was you? I love that it has the old Sony logo on it. Better times! ---

No, it wasnā€™t me. I found it on the Substack, so maybe it was the same person. > Looks cool but I donā€™t know exactly what it is The link explains it, but basically itā€™s an 80ā€™s computer where all the ā€œgutsā€ is inside of the keyboard. They didnā€™t come with monitors, so you could hook it up to your telly. Thereā€™s a lot more info on [the wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX). I canā€™t help but think how cool it would be to write on. ---

Like what @anon30672897 said, a computer housed in a keyboard. Itā€™s much like the Apple II or the Commodore 64. And like those other platforms the MX platform ran on a variant of Basic. Eventually it switched to DOS. ---

I LOVE the simplicity of it. Obviously for a very specific use case, but still. There are modern [electronic typewriters](https://getfreewrite.com/) but the _cheapest_ is $350. Surly there would be a market for cheaper such items that are similar to the Sony machine around the $100 mark. ---

Are you familiar with the [Raspberry Pi 400](https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-400/)? Iā€™ve come close to grabbing one a few times just because itā€™s a neat concept. ---

Oooh, that does look really cool. This might be the kind of thing Iā€™d be interested in getting once my laptop packs it in and/or I get a Steam Deck for gaming. Iā€™ll certainly keep an eye on this, cheers mate. Many years ago I made a Raspberry Pi retro device. It was pretty cool, but only did up to 5th gen, but couldnā€™t run everything. Have you used an RP much at all? I wonder if they are at the stage where they can work as a lightweight PC now? Kind of like Chromebook, but not tied to Android? ---

The Pi 400 is a lot more powerful that earlier Raspberry Pi models. Hereā€™s a benchmark diagram comparing it with older models. ![IMG_7674](https://discuss.grouvee.com/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b10dec6ae7500f49984999229105f1a78b4e5a5b.png) It would be about as powerful as a budget Android phone and could run Linux without an issue. Not a powerhouse machine, but decent. ---

Arrived earlier than expected. Console is quite tiny so for games I have to play with a continuously pressed button (like running in smw or dkc), my hands cramp a bit after a few mins. Two notes: probably everything up to N64 runs well but mario 64 is unplayable. Roms come loaded but, as itā€™s a chinese translation a few are so odd: ā€œdonkey kong countryā€ was a 5-minutes demo with some of the stages swapped (1-1 1-3 1-2) which after 5 mins, it froze completely. The full game, however, was named ā€œSuper king kongā€. And my last note was that there was not a button (I have found of) that returns you to the main menu. Now I found that the actual main menu combination was start+select. Anyhow. ---

It should be able to play Mario64, it might be a rom issue. Thats one of the first games people test on any of these for n64 emulation. Also i had to look this one up as i hadnt heard of it. Some people are claiming itll play psp and dreamcast, which is a little bit better than others at its price point. ---

FYI, Raspberry PI released the updated Pi 500 which runs on the Pi 5 chip. Definitely a significant upgrade in power and OS support. I miss the orange and white two-tone design, but itā€™s still nice. And they even made an official monitor.

That is really nice! $200 ( Iā€™m assuming US$?) is pretty good. I donā€™t really need this right now, but man itā€™s tempting ---
