Yeah, I agree with that. I was just trying to point out how Nintendo’s BC has never been as complete as it could be, for whatever reason it may be, but yeah, they’ve been pretty good at guaranteeing last-gen compatibility so far. Let’s see how it goes with whatever will succeed the Switch.
The two lines you mention do cut off at some points, though. The DS no longer had backwards compatibility with the GB and GBC, the DSi with the GBA, although the 3DS re-added GB and GBC, just digitally. The Wii U also doesn’t support GCN discs. All of these, however, work pretty well with homebrew like mGBA and Nintendont, they’re just not available officially.
The wayback machine has it archived as early as December 2017, no idea beyond that.
Seconding this. It has every feature you know Windows needs but it still doesn’t have (likely because of the need for testing or being aimed at power users).
Yeah, I was just pointing it out for transparency, as this is the OSS community. Still a noteworthy app, though.
Dude, the 1080 came out in 2016, that was just… oh.
Unfortunately, it’s not open source though.
SteamOS 3 hasn’t been released as an ISO (yet?), but there’s the unofficial HoloISO as a replacement.
Unravel 2 is awesome
The only (large enough) area which is currently lacking is multiplayer games, especially those with anticheats. Unfortunately, there’s nothing users can do about that other than wait for game developers to enable wine support, which, despite EAC and Battleye significantly simplifying the process, many still haven’t done.
I’ve never had this issue but it might be specific to the game you’re trying, using gamescope might help.
Yeah, it’s probably more about them not being locked in MS’s ecosystem more than anything, but whatever the intention may be, everyone is benefiting from the results.

That’s not all the context, though. GamersNexus made a video detailing it further. and a follow-up.
Warzone 2100 is a nice RTS, especially fun with friends
I couldn’t find any indication of it being open source anywhere
Are you on NVIDIA?
XMPP is a protocol for decentralised chats, allowing people registered on different servers to chat with people on other servers, kind of similar to how email works (and Lemmy of course).
Google Talk was a service by Google which started with XMPP support, letting users from other XMPP servers chat with Google Talk users. Google Talk was always slightly different from the XMPP standard, due to having proprietary code in its backend, leading to chats between Talk users working flawlessly but not between XMPP and Talk users. Slowly, Google Talk became more popular than the other servers.
Eventually, XMPP server-to-server support was removed as part of their transition to Hangouts, meaning once Talk users switched to it, XMPP users would no longer be able to chat with them and would have to switch to Hangouts. While XMPP still exists today, it’s definitely a niche nowadays, and this is part of the reason.
Edit: proper paragraphs
That’s how people thought it would have gone with XMPP and Google Talk, but that’s not how it went at all
The Cromite GitHub page also says it supports arm32-v7a right at the beginning (for some reason later in the README it lists the platforms again without it, someone probably forgot to change it), I believe it’s the file in the releases called arm_ChromePublic.apk (not arm64), so try that
(Note: it does say it’s Android 7 or higher though, so it still might not work unless you try some custom ROMs)
