But lemmy.world shows me many errors if I open DevTools… Hope this failures get resolved soon. Had to create another account on another instance to use lemmy
But this would mean the epoch here would be the 2 April 1984 or maybe the 1st, if you respect the time as well, which sounds a tiny bit random lol. But so would be to use a week counter in the first place :D Especially since those trains are from the early 2000s.
How did you get to that epoch? I haven't seen any images of this happening earlier than 2003, so the overflow must have happened late last year or early this year, and whatever week 0 is is some time around 2002/2003. That would also fit with your comment that they were introduced in the early 2000s.
Maybe they just didn't expect the trains to last 20 years 😄
It could be that the epoch is the start of 2003, so any train with a reset week counter shows 2003, and now they all do since the counter has overflowed late last year.
The fact that they use a week counter in general is something I remember from someone familiar with the onboard computer system, but I don't remember how it's set up specifically unfortunately.
I'm so out of the loop, this is blowing my mind. I'm looking at the site @FriendOfFalcons linked (https://anbernic.com/products/rg35xx), wow. Specs look pretty good, this emulator should easily run any PS1, GBA, Neo Geo game. Hahah what, Neo Geo? There's a blast from the past.
I can't find any info on what Linux distro it ships with, does this thing work out of the box or do you have to install the OS? I presume you supply the ROMs? Holy crap, and they have beefier handhelds that support later-gen platforms. This is awesome.
You can play it directly out of the box, but there are custom OS's out there that run things even better and add more features. You do supply the ROMs, but there are plenty of ROM packs out there too to make your life easier. I honestly recommend looking into RetroGameCorps on Youtube, he has some great content around these types of devices.
If you get the RG35XX specifically, I'd recommend this guide.
Ah ok, I should've figured there'd be custom OS's involved, that's awesome. Thx, I'll check out RetroGameCorps. And thanks for the starter guide link, looks super helpful.
I’m sorry if this goes against some instance/community rule and if so please just tell me - but where does one find reliable ROM packs? I only ever used EmuParadise back in the day (as I still do - but don’t tell anyone!)
I originally was using an account at .world but it started to get really slow under the stress of all the new users.
So I’ve since switched (to lemmy.ca) and it’s been really nice. However, when I look at this thread from my .world account I can see a lot more comments. I know there are issues with syncing between instances and so I’d prefer to use .world if/when it is more stable. This way I can avoid the syncing issues mostly.
In any case I’m happy for Lemmy. I have multiple accounts and will use them whenever necessary. I wish there was something that could sync community lists between accounts. It was a bit of a chore to sync my community subscriptions for my accounts.
