itunes: if you click the play icon in this screenshot, what would you expect to happen?

1) start playing the album dark side of the moon by pink floyd beginning from the track "on the run"
2) nothing else why would it that's obviously what it should do


well you would be wrong. if you click the play icon it starts playing all your songs, in alphabetical order, from the point in the list where On The Run is.

EVEN BETTER - if you double click "on the run" it does exactly what you'd expect and starts playing the actual album

why does it do this? who knows!

apple is officially bad now

There's no way to run emulators/etc on the ATV, right? That was one of the reasons I got a FireTV instead of the ATV, as I didn't want to build another computer for just emulators and what not. FireTV has been very needs-suiting.

im gonna post seriously about emulators here for a second


they suck

theres a reason audio nerds obsess over chip tunes and buy old hardware and get program music on a SNES instead of doing it in loving fruity loops of what the gently caress ever

go and buy an SNES, or NES, or whatever you want, buy the games you want to play. if youve got some money to blow get a scaler and do RGB mods on your consoles

if not just go to goodwill an find yourself a nice big CRT tv (they're loving everywhere because nobody will take the things or even recycle them for free)

your nes will never be worth a thousand dollars but itll never depreciate either. dont use a loving emulator

I bought like twenty snes consoles in like 2012 when I was experimenting with how to fix the SNES vertical bar issue. Anyway I never spent more than $25 on each one on ebay. Since I was way too lazy to sell them, they are now worth around $100 each :eyepop: :homebrew:

theres money to be made but its hard, for a while there i would go to goodwill and find a box with a genesis and a couple of controllers + 4-5 games for $5-10 regularly

now theyve gotten smart and check ebay before they price stuff

i would do this tbh if it weren't for how little space i have and how much i hate having cords everywhere

like i'll buy old games on my Wii U or on PS3 for PS1 titles because thats way more convenient than emulators, but otherwise i have a hard time justifying buying more hardware and physical media

its really not that bad unless you have a lot of consoles

i think the next thing im gonig to do is run a shitload of cat5 from the tv to the rear of the room and build a controller port "console" so i dont have extenders running across the floor

Nope read the reviews. They are as good, if not better than the real snes controllers. It's no bullshit. I have two and never thought I'd use em over the actual controllers.
