    QC was the wrong word to use. I've railed on here plenty of times over the laziness of developers in this era of DLC and quick fixes but I think it would still be worse if it were a free for all.

    Aren't those 0-day patches only a few hundred kb, some kind of hidden copy validation or some thing ?

    If the jaguar is open source, then why aren't there any hardware clones of it?

    Not as popular as the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo perhaps?

    Because whatever was opened was the OS and software specifications, not the chip designs.

    Edit: And a bit of what sonicdude10 said, as well

    Don't forget the huge douchebag egos that many indie developers have. I cannot stand Team Meat. They're overconfident & immature because they think they made this spectacular, amazing, ground breaking "new" game that all the gaming blogs love. Maybe it's just a sense of humor (stupid indie game shit Rule #2 IRL), but its as if they're trying as hard as they can to come off as unprofessional.

    I have my Raspberry now, No real games shipped standard on the SD card, gonna download or make some my own I think.
    It just arrived 2 days ago and already i am thinking about installing heat sinks. maybe I should not stream to much Anime to it.

    I realy like to play with original SNES and psx controllers, so im gonna take a look at the GPIO's soon. Anyone interested in my findings of hard/software for this berry?

    I would be as well. I'm planning on getting a raspi fairly soon, once prices in the US are closer to the actual $35.

    Anyway, I recently preordered one of the 1 GHz openpandora models. I'm incredibly excited to get my hands on it! I'll definitely be posting an unboxing video. I've got an emulator project already in the works for it, perhaps it'll be worth showing by the end of July (when the units should be shipped out).
