[Tutorial] Installing and Setting up RetroArch 1.3.6 on Blackberry Passport with Physical Keyboard Support

Hình ảnh
I've finally bit the bullet and got the Blackberry Passport Silver Edition on hand. Nothing beats its 1:1 4.5"square aspect ratio for some retro gaming love. As of this writing there had been several versions of RetroArch that is runnable on the Blackberry OS 10, the notable ones being RetroArch Cascades and RetroArch Android version. There are, however, some drawbacks to these. Read more »

[Tutorial] Complete Tutorial on Installing libresonic/subsonic Standalone on Raspberry Pi

Why Choose Libresonic over Subsonic? libresonic is essentially subsonic but with the license feature removed. Subsonic allows mobile streaming for 30 days whereas it is disabled unless you donate. The main reason as to why I decided to deploy libresonic as Standalone rather than a tomcat WAR (Web Archive) package is because tomcat8 will hang when deploying libresonic.war package for somewhat unknown reason, so I resorted to compile a debian package manually using the following method. Prerequisites Download the following packages using debian apt-get package manager: sudo apt - get install openjdk - 8 - jdk maven lintian * lintian is needed when compiling debian package * jdk8 is needed to compile booter and debian package Add the JDK8 to your environment variable JAVA_HOME. Make sure to quit the terminal session if you're logging using SSH or simply open up a new terminal after making the changes. sudo nano ~/. bashrc_profile export JAVA_HOME =/ usr / lib / jvm / jdk - 8 - oracl...

Advantage of Gateway 3DS Flash Cart over Free arm9loaderhax/Luma3DS/ReiNAND/Cake/Rei

Since the announcement and tutorials (honorable mention of Plailect's guide here ) of arm9loaderhax (a9lh) and Luma3DS (also known as ReiNAND previously), players are now able to run their 3DS roms and homebrew directly from the microSD card for Free. So how will these affects 3DS flash cart manufacturers such as Gateway which sell their flash cart for profit? Is there still any reasons to buy a dedicated flash cart to play the 3DS roms if you can play it for free? Note: For those that followed my tutorial on installing BrowserHax and Downgrading to v9.2 here , you can simply start from Part 3 from Plailect's guide to setup RedNAND and downgrade to v2.1 for arm9loaderhax for your 3DS console. Although it is a long winded instructions, your effort will be rewarded in the long run. Just be sure to follow each and every instructions carefully during the process. From there onwards you can always update your arm9loaderhax patched sysNAND to the latest version without ever worryin...

Prelude  Why I Upgrade from Original 3DS to New 3DS LL tldr; Skip to the next section <Guide Start> to jump straight into my ordeal of downgrading my 3DS LL v9.9J firmware into v9.2 and booting into Gateway Mode Having played on the Original 3DS (yes the small clamshell one that Nintendo first released back in 2011) for quite some time now, I finally decided to purchase a New 3DS LL (also known as New Nintendo 3DS XL outside Japan). As opposed to what others had complained about the LL/XL for its huge size, bulkiness and unportability, I actually found it to be pleasing to my play style. Main reason that I purchased it is its large 4.88 inch screen size. If the number seems meaningless to you, think of it being almost the same size as the PS Vita. Sure you wouldn't see much crisp image like the O3DS or the New 3DS regular edition due to its larger PPI, but frankly, for me that is negligible and it's the 3D immersion that really benefits from such a big screen. Not that 3...

I've always wanted to have an About Me page that describe myself and share my experience with the netizens, and I've finally done it! At long last, I've publish my About Me page which you can now find at the top menu bar. It is now in text written format and hopefully I'll have the opportunities to upload some real life pictures of my life + stuffs that I had owned with you guys!

Still I'm very content with all that I had learned and will be continuing updating my blog! Enjoy!
