I’ve been bitten before by these non standard things… thanks for the reminder.

Many indie games are PC only and are unlikely to ever be ported to a Nintendo platform – mostly because it’s a lot easier to play them on new PCs. As Nintendo products age, emulation can be one of the only ways the games stay playable.

This is very practical advice, thanks for the point in the right direction.

The problem is the motherboard has some blown caps and in general the system is not very stable as is.

From the other advice it sounds like I should get a used PC and just use a USB floppy drive if I ever need one.

You might know of Organic Maps, the open source app that’s an alternative to Google Maps. Recently, concerns have been raised about its governance, with many contributors questioning the project’s transparency and direction.

Despite being advertised as a community-driven project, key decisions, including financial management, partnerships (with Kayak, for instance), and the inclusion of proprietary components in the code were made by a small group of shareholders, often without input from the broader contributor community.

These shareholders have reportedly used the project’s donation funds for personal expenses, like holiday trips, raising serious concerns about financial transparency.

As a result, many contributors teamed up and forked the project, establishing CoMaps, a new alternative focused on openness and being not-for-profit.
