I’ve been keeping a secret for 5 years… For the first time, I’ll reveal the hidden 5th USB port on the original Xbox and how @makemhz.com spent the last year making the impossible possible with over 250,000 software patches. 🧵

It’s my mission to play this against 1 5 other people at some point this weekend.

I forgot to mention this before but I'm going to Midwest Gaming Classic this weekend in Milwaukee, WI and showing off 16-player Faceball again! Come see me, @stopskeletons.bsky.social, and @theunclebob.bsky.social and I'll have a neat little treat for you!

WSL9x, or Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux, runs a modern Linux kernel cooperatively inside the Windows 9x kernel! codeberg.org/hails/wsl9x

Uncle Bob is doing God's work, not a lot of people would do all of this work for the love of preservation and retro gaming

I still love this silly little x86 project I did a few years ago... github.com/trevor403/wo...

"It just felt like the floor had fallen out. Like all the support that I thought we had was gone. Maybe this is naive, but I didn't think that would happen in Massachusetts." there is functionally a conspiracy to gaslight you into believing that, so it's understandable www.npr.org/2026/04/17/n...

🐢🌴Isles of Sea and Sky🌴🐍 is 80% off on Steam until April 28!!! A fantastic, oceanic, open world puzzle adventure store.steampowered.com/app/1233070/... Thank you all for the support!! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #puzzlegame #pixelart

So where are all of these cheap Windows keys coming from?? Are they all stolen / bought with stolen payment details? It feels the opposite of "above board"

I just spent all night trying to see how you can mount an SMB Share using a non-standard TCP Port on Windows Well apparently this is a "New Feature" in 2025... But I want to be able to support most versions of Windows 10 Looked online and found that people say "just spin up a lookback network"

The synthesizer is, culturally, a transgender instrument.

hey @limitedrungames.com, I have a bunch of your games from over the years. Do you mind explaining why you're violating the license of my friends emulator? bsky.app/profile/did:...

I think the most delightful thing I've seen in the past few months is @techconnectify.bsky.social taking off the kids gloves and going ALL OUT on every topic with common sense, right side of history, good ecology etc.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! We're everywhere and we're cool. Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

the expectation of being able to run docker whenever in CI jobs is probably the single worst outcome of free GitHub Actions minutes because reproducing it in a bring-your-own-compute environment is borderline impossible unless you make every machine single-tenant

rules to see mainstream publications picking this very obviously true line up and running with it

This is probably the 5th time I reposted a sale of this game and I’ll do it 5 more times…

Genuinely one of the cleverest puzzle games I've played, difficult in just the right ways

Friends, I'm finishing up the very last few Edge-Enhancer installs and reaching out to customers. Thank you so much for your patience while I got healthy again! DIY SNES Edge-Enhancer kits will be put back online, March 20th! This is THE solution for SNES analog video!

Holy butts I love these... I have been trying to get some at cons but I need to look harder

Sweet, another ereader extender for the Analogue Pocket!

Apple slaying the entire $600 laptop market with a two year old phone chip is a pretty good encapsulation of where their silicon design is at and has been for a while.

so!! i am excited!!! to have finally finished the complete reimplementation of the #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer memory-25x applet for managing SPI NOR flashes. it is called memory-25q and it took an enormous amount of effort, because i have decided to Build It Properly

Excited to see ArmSoMSige5 (RK3576) featured at EmbeddedWorld2026 on @collabora.com booth! Stop by Booth 4-404 to see it in action! Showcasing mainline Linux support across hardware platforms. A great validation of our commitment to open source and upstream stability. docs.armsom.org/armsom-sige5

I am really excited about this too... The concept that components can provide native APIs for Web is so much nicer than the rat race of complex disjointed wrappers and WASI layers

Imagine running a Mac at 240x160. Yeesh, no thanks! #MARCHintosh

New library coming up from our new Firmware with C5 github.com/martinberlin... A very simple way to instantiate I2C bus in IDF that you can just use for every peripheral on esp-idf (New idf won't cope anymore with legacy i2c_driver_install instantiation) CC @fast-code-r-us.bsky.social

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us. It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

I am working on an ICD2 host chip for the Super GameBoy that would allow using the expanded Graphics option and some of the SNES audio enhancements on a consolizer ... Any interest??

this is a long shot - would anyone happen to have a Wireshark packet capture of an Xbox 360 updating via LIVE *before* the Kinect/fall 2010 system update? reposts for reach appreciated

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

Spread the word, an ACTUAL replacement for Flash is on the horizon! Go support this project NOW!!!!!!!! bill.newgrounds.com/news/post/16...
