  I wouldn’t be surprised if it was soldered on because it shares the RAM with the GPU. That’s pretty common these days, and GPUs want both high performance RAM and low latency. There are solutions to significantly lower the trace lengths between expandable RAM and the CPU/GPU, but the standard never took off.

  Blame Microsoft for repurposing a wifi dongle as a controller interface, and using an at-runtime firmware override for switching it to controller mode.

  I worry that one day all rambley people on the Internet will be assumed to be AI. Wrote more than 3 sentences and used proper capitalization? Must be a bot. I least I still have my spelling and grammar mistakes to remind people I’m human.

  It’s been on my todo to check out RetroDeck. The screenshots on flathub look good. If it makes configuration and settings easier than retroarch than it will be great. I feel like retroarch is designed with the worst possible defaults for every single setting.

  Finally, I can throw away my red/blue glasses and play Rad Racer for the NES the way it was meant to be played.

  Have you tried using crystals instead of touch screens? If it was good enough for Kirk it’s good enough for Janeway.
