I have been thinking about printing one of those breadbox/keyboard cases for my mister (think C64 or MSX) for a more authentic experience when playing those kinds of games, but now I'm considering trying to get something like lynx on it and using it as my main PC. Anything it can't do (YouTube etc) I can just do on my phone anyway.
Has anyone had the same idea?

That's kind of cool if you want to do it. Most games for C64 or MSX that people would want emulated use joysticks, but for aesthetic reasons I like it.
I can plug my joystick into it too. But it's convenient to have the keyboard right there. And if I can browse /vr/ from it even better.
Using it for modern purposes is a dumb idea, the arm side of de10 is extremely weak, you can't really use it as a linux workstation.
Putting it in a wedge case is pretty good for dicking around in computer cores, though.
>Using it for modern purposes is a dumb idea, the arm side of de10 is extremely weak, you can't really use it as a linux workstation
Even for browsing my favorite Mexican basket weaving forum via the terminal?
If it doesn't work out I'll edit the case files and put a raspberry pi in there and a toggle to switch between the pi and the mister. Not sure how that will work for plugging the keyboard into both devices though...
>There are many mentally unstable fantasists who imagine doing moronic things with it
Using one device for everything you need is moronic? Gee, isn't that the argument that emulator gays usually make in favor of their PC?
>Using one device for everything you need is moronic?
Yes. There's a famous saying about using the right tool for the job. Only fools and coping poorgays claim it's a bad idea.
>Gee, isn't that the argument that emulator gays usually make
Yes. Your kind makes that argument all the time. You do understand you're an emugay, right? Paying to emulate doesn't make you the genius you imagine yourself to be. It just shows you're a pseud.
I don't pay to emulate, moron
So did you steal your mister or get it as a gift for your 12th birthday?
I paid for a device, I didn't pay for an emulator. There's a difference between a piece of hardware and the software that it runs. The software is free, the hardware is $250. I paid for a piece of hardware, I didn't pay for an emulator.
You should have paid for reading comprehension lessons. I never said you paid for an emulator.
>Using one device for everything you need is moronic? Gee, isn't that the argument that emulator gays usually make in favor of their PC?
Except that one device isn't designed for general purpose use while the other is.
Failing to understand that difference is what makes (You) the moron here.
Stop posting and frick off, you aren't contributing anything useful anyway.
>Except that one device isn't designed for general purpose use while the other is
Who cares? Phones weren't designed for games but the mobile gaming market is booming. Cassette tapes weren't designed for music but that market was huge in it's hey-day. Filter yourself homosexual. You probably don't even have a mister.
Idk I haven't tried it yet. I usually just browse using Terminus Browser.
>You probably don't even have a mister.
Have fun browsing the internet on a toaster level CPU
I'm browsing a Mexican basket weaving forum from a command line, the CPU is entirely irrelevant.
He mistakenly believes you'd want to use instagram like him
Yeah but it's not just an forum, it's an image board. Do you have pictures or just cmd!?!?
You do know that some users hide images entirely, right? I use terminus to browse the channies I'm at work. Anyway there is a cmd browser for Ganker that actually displays images in the terminal but it's for debian and I don't feel like trying to figure out getting it to work on the mister because it requires a mouse. As long as I can read the channies, read/post on agora road, and update my blog I'll be satisfied. I don't need images, I can always shitpost from my phone.
>I use terminus to browse the channies I'm at work
Ok sure, but saying you don't care about images at home is pure sour grapes. You'll browse Ganker without images for 10 mins and then go back to any method that lets you see images. Browsing without images is for either not getting caught or literally just for the novelty of browsing on some specific hardware or software and not because it's a better experience
>Ok sure, but saying you don't care about images at home is pure sour grapes.
Anon, I literally said "Anything it can't do (YouTube etc) I can just do on my phone anyway."
>You'll browse Ganker without images for 10 mins and then go back to any method that lets you see images.
I could browse Ganker, update my blog, check my rss feed, check 5ch, play some games. If I want to shitpost I'll just use my phone like a normal person.
>the novelty of browsing on some specific hardware or software
What do you think I'm doing?

That's it? The average /vr/ user is a phoneposting zoomer normalhomosexual who jumps on the latest overpriced hardware trend now? Ganker users are proud of using phones now?
>everyone who does things I don't like is a trend-hopping zoomer
Anon, I have probably been on the internet longer than you have been alive. And MiSTer isn't an overpriced hardware trend; it's cheaper and runs games better than a budget laptop and it's definitely not the latest trend - it's a niche item at best.
>Ganker users are proud of using phones now?
It's 2024; are you poor or are you just pretending that you don't have a phone?
You fricking bet I am.
>instagram or twitter
I stopped using Instagram over a decade ago because usage of that app is directly related to depression. I have never used Twitter.
Why would I use my phone instead of my computer if I'm at home?
Who cares? Why are you upset if someone does something fun with a device that they own?
>Who cares?
You because you've replied multiple times
Because you replied to me
captcha
I occupy my own basement, thank you. I'm a hard-working autist who gets his own bread.
>occupy verb [T] (FILL)
I believe you anon
Can't speak for that anon, but I doubt anyone is upset what some autistic pseud does in the privacy of his parents own basement. But he's here attention whoring, literally asking for (You)s. You must be incredibly moronic if you don't understand the difference.
Did you see the post made?
>Using it for modern purposes is a dumb idea, the arm side of de10 is extremely weak, you can't really use it as a linux workstation.
How does it feel to be wrong?
This is some plebtier cope, but I guess it makes for a fun story on your instagram or twitter
Did you actually pass the captcha though, or just took a screenshot to post from a regular computer?
>Has anyone had the same idea?
Probably. There are many mentally unstable fantasists who imagine doing moronic things with it.
dudes, the vextrex core now supports outputting to an oscilloscope with an adapter
Wait, how well does Ganker work in lynx? Now I wanna try that myself.
>>and using as my main PC
Never happening, the DE-10 uses an ancient dual core ARM with clock speed worse than a Pi3, it's not suitable for that purpose.
>it's not suitable for that purpose
Shut the frick up. I already got it working with http, now I just need to figure out https.
Cute Robotnik toy!
>breaks mister
aww, and I was so looking forward to playing that one too
Video game history not preserved. Sad!
literally no one cares.
I think you are a contrarian idiot.
pr4m0d is a little b***h
Did you post that from a terminal?
