You will need a copy of the SimCity ROM image to load into Higan.
For legal reasons, Higan does not come with Super Nintendo game ROMs.

It's a laptop, so... yes, I'm afraid.


Ah. Then, unfortunately, it is soon time to start hunting for a more modern laptop. I assume it has a combined NvIntel and the Intel circuits are still working with 6.2+.

I can recommend Lenovo AMD APU-based systems, those are more likely to have long Linux support though nothing is guaranteed. My wife has been running an AMD 4800U system for the past three years, we're pretty happy with that one.
I think you've forgotten this is Tomman. The most recent technology available to him dates back to the Clinton administration.

Man, you have way too much patience for that.

Me, I have painstakingly learned the bitbake build system and have mounted a RPi4 to the TV. This means I can update my entire retro system for ARM, tweaked just the way I like it. This also means I can run install-less game "cartridges" (actually SD cards) on my RPi4.

Cross compiling is just something I eat to lunch, dinner *and* breakfast now. Start a build and a couple of hours later I have the latest and greatest for most console emulators... As long as I have the source code to make it work of course.

It is strangely satisfying to have a dedicated Linux system that loads a dedicated game every time you replace the SD card. Only problem is that it takes a bit of time to load the Linux system first. It does feel a bit wasteful to load a 200 MB image to play a NES ROM, and you *could* probably cut that down if you want to... But when 1GB SD cards costs around 50 cents, why bother?

Yeah, I know I can simply reload the emulator instead, but what is the fun in that :)
Nice!

Now if only there was a collection of "bare metal" Pi emulators for the project.

For me, a 2 TB SSD is large enough. I don't need more storage on my system. Sure, for backup drives and so on, larger is better - but 2 TB SSDs cost less than $130 today! Once they drop below $99 it will be game over for the HDD, for real.

Also, Windows 11 still allows spinning rust, it just won't install to one. Thus, a modern system has one of two viable paths:

#1 - a 250 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD. Cost: $61,98
#2 - a 1 TB SSD. Cost: $64.99

The 1TB system will be better in every conceivable way except it doesn't have that 1.25 TB extra storage. Does that even matter though?
Honestly? I have a quarter-TB of just music.
My legally-acquired videos directory, which is mostly anime fansubs, is over two TB.

The extra storage matters. Yes, I could just delete everything and use streaming services exclusively. But it doesn't seem like a good deal to delete all of my hoard so I can pay to use someone else's hoard instead.

Why not mix and match then?

Keep the rust spinners for the legally acquired media, and use the solid storage for your OS, applications, and frequently accessed files.

If you're at home, your rust spinners are just a cable away. And if you're away... plan ahead!

That's what I do. Booting off a flash drive, with frequently-used applications stored there too. Real disks for my dragon's hoard of data as well as less-frequently-hit programs where load times are less galling.

SATA flash drives aren't appreciably faster than a half-decent disk, and I have limited capacity for NVMe-based drives.

I ain't payin' double the price for disk to get disk-like performance.

Today, on "Jistuce is late to the party", I'm watching Big O.

Everyone told me this show is cool, is like the Batman cartoon only with a giant robot in it. Which, sure, that's great. But it isn't making me leap to get there right the fuck now. Especially in the 90s, when I'm too broke for DVDs and on unstable dial-up.


NOBODY told me there's a sharp-tongued robot maid in it. Which, in fairness, would've just earned a look of scorn if they'd told me that twenty years ago. While it isn't exactly a "must-watch" bullet point today, it was a surprise and I actually like the character a lot.

...

Also, people lied to me. This isn't very much like Batman at all, despite some cosmetic similarities.
Roger Smith, while being an eccentric wealthy man with a butler and a specially-made crime-fighting vehicle, is much more in the vein of James Bond than Batman. But really, he just wants everyone to chill. He's a negotiator, but somehow negotiations always end up with him rocket-punching building-sized threats to the city. Go figure.
