Most OpenVR/SteamVR titles more or less "just work" with Rift + Touch. Obviously the different controllers mean input mappings might be weird or lacking an equivalent and the in-game representation of the controller might be

If it's a US cell provider being shitty and restricting technology, it's got to be Verizon. They hate anything that isn't under their control. There are way too many people in the US who think Verizon is their only option bec

Sounds like you want something along the lines of libretro. It's an API and reference implementation (Retroarch) for emulator "cores" to interface with a standard front end which handles inputs, UI, and other things. MAME&#

I think your information is a bit behind. My old car, a 2002 BMW 325i, fits that description with a 25 MHz 16 bit Infineon C167 processor and 512kb of flash in its Siemens MS43 ECU. That's properly a microcontroller in my mind. My new

I agree that the headphone jack doesn't necessarily need to go right away, especially on larger phones, but I'm not one of the people who think it's the worst thing in the world to remove either. It does take up a lot of int

As with most console homebrew communities, this is already a thing. https://github.com/devkitPro/libogc It doesn't seem like it's been heavily used on GC, but the Wii has a decent homebrew scene. Nothing real

HDMI does not mandate HDCP. You can use it as just DVI with audio if you want. That's the default mode for all PCs and the Xbox consoles, which only switch to HDCP mode if you try to play DRM-protected content like Blurays. PS3 is sh

That's slightly different, in that Starcraft's system used RS232 in a standard point-to-point fashion. If you wanted to play with three or four people you had to daisy-chain and the one or two in the middle were effectively actin

The double-edged sword of bouncers is that they try to strap the behavior we're looking for on top of IRC which forces them to do it in a convoluted way. Connecting to multiple networks with a bouncer has always felt like a kludgey dis
