Honestly, I am really happy. Especially for my friend who's had her Wii U for over a decade now that's just a glorified paper weight because her Gamepad stopped working early on. She can finally experience the Wii U again and play everything she's missed out on. I thank you and the team on her behalf as well.

2025-06-09 02:37:34 +0000 UTCYou should look into the retro handheld space. Both android and Linux space. Operating systems like Knulli- rocknix, and such love a niche project to boot on their devices. Then are specialized android devices made for gaming, and people would be more likely to be root and use your application. As emulation devices they also aren’t gonna update very often and break compatibility, where as a mobile phone you want to be up to date. I may not understand the issues of android enough for this to completely help- but look at any device made by Ambernic (arm64 Linux) Retroid Pocket (Mali snapdragon chips), or Ayn Odin 2. Each one of those has a Linux build working with rocknix or bottocera- releasing an app there would make everyone excited. If you get the community on your side, they can advocate to the company to make changes or revisions in the future to be more compatable.
