Well, yes and no, at least with the xx line.

They come with their own firmware from the factory but installing a custom firmware is super easy, just flash to sd card and add your games.

I use MuOS on mine but there’s also KNULLI which is a fork of Batocera. I don’t know how well they support normal distros like Ubuntu Touch.

Here’s a good article about custom firmware on the xx line

They’re really fun devices, definitely recommend them 🙂

Dark Souls and Bloodborne are the only games I prefer to watch other people play. I love the look and atmosphere but can’t stand how they feel to play.

I got myself a retro handheld from Anbernic. Costs about the same as a AAA game and has pretty much become my main gaming device.

Motorola D160. That thing was an absolute tank. Switched to the Nokia 5110 but still kept the D160 for the more rough stuff, camping trips, construction, etc.

Can’t say I miss having that thing strapped to my belt though 😅

I think you probably could get a 350 down to 7mpg but you’d be driving like an absolute maniac to get it there. I dunno, 7 seems pretty bad

20mpg doesn’t really sound that far fetched for a 305 if you’re mostly doing highway. Mine was a '78 and got around 14 in the city when just commuting. That thing could drink a lot more with a heavier foot though, lol

Maybe yours was a 350?

My parents got me a copy of Harrier Jump Jet by Microprose one christmas. I can’t even begin to imagine how many hours I spent on that game, both actually playing it and studying the manual for it. Still have the manual actually but the floppies are long gone.

After that I got every Microprose sim I could get my hands on, F14 Fleet Defender was probably my favorite after Harrier.

Then I kinda lost interest in simulators until Arma came along, spent years where I hardly played anything else.

Nowadays though ETS is pretty much the only sim I play.
