Yes, but you still need to install the cores developed by the community in order to play ROMs.

The necessary core for ROMs was released barely a day after OpenFPGA support was, but it wasn’t released by Analogue.

The console doesn't officially support ROMs. It must run games off the original hardware carts.

However, there's a fairly simple hack to get ROMs to play on the SD card slot of the Analogue Pocket that many suspect was unofficially developed by Analogue themselves.

Guess the Duracell rep lied to us. Sorry.

~~Fun Fact: batteries only do this when they're over-discharged. If you design your circuit right, this won't happen.~~

Yeah, I was fully expecting this thing to be like $400.

Emulators can’t always play every game. I know Pokémon Snap has always struggled to run.

This is identical to real hardware and upscales everything to 4K. Not to mention native support for Bluetooth controllers and other creature comforts.

There was an extensive amount of refurbishment required to re-use the SRBs. Not to mention they had to be physically recovered, and salt water certainly made the process more complicated.

The shuttle itself needed each of its heat shield tiles replaced, which due to the shape of the shuttle were all unique.

The fuel tank was not reused.

The shuttle was meant to be a leap forward in rocket reusability, but it didn’t really pan out that way. There’s good reason the program was scrapped and not replaced with another space plane.

The Starship booster has the potential to launch multiple times per day. The only refurbishment period is how long it takes to refuel it.

I think that’s a Qualcomm proprietary thing that isn’t supported by standard USB downward facing ports.

$245/year assuming constant 200W load which is pretty reasonable for a small web server.

The trick is to have the server do other things like print, Plex, Piwigo, Samba, Shinobi, Frigate, Matrix, etc

Aw is that canon? I liked how they didn’t explain it in the show.

It always bugged me how in Man of Steel, Superman has to deal with the moral quandary of breaking the bad guy’s neck at the cost of vaporizing a family.

Like they spent the previous 20 minutes punching each other through buildings. No way that was the first family they killed.
