    Me: SameBoy intentionally doesn't emulate how the SoC electrically interferes with the speakers, it's not a desired or potentially useful feature of the Game Boy Also me: ...But what if?

    I've exploited MadDirtyCow (CVE-2022-46689) and 2022 CoreTrust bug (CVE-2022-26766) to allow installation of perma-signed apps with arbitrary entitlements (a-la TrollStore) on my Apple Watch, running watchOS 8.3. \o/

    Me: I'm never going to write another emulator Also me: There's a console called "Mega Duck" and it's 99.9% identical to the Game Boy??? :O

    If you ever find a vulnerability in an @Apple product, do yourself a favor and exploit it in a jailbreak or sell it to a shady company instead of reporting it. Apple fixed a vulnerability I reported, and not only they didn't reward a bounty, but they haven't even added a credit.

    Around two weeks ago, I went to update my copy of Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch, and got an error saying my console is permanently banned from accessing online services. (1/n)

    Woah, I didn’t expect it to create so much... buzz 🥁 I’m glad it managed to hit so many people in their nostalgic soft spot, this is definitely becoming an optional feature in the upcoming release of SameBoy. :)

    Not sure if I'm the first one to find this bug, but it turns out you can take this item through the wall in Pokémon GSC! Walls in this map are actually defined as counters, and since you can interact with objects through counters, you can take this item through walls!

    Unfortunately, after spending weeks of work improving SameBoy for iOS and adjusting it to fit @Apple's @AppStore guidelines and audience, it was deemed "spam", despite having dozens of unique features not found in any other emulator, let alone one for iOS. (1/2)

    The original Game Boy came out in 1989 and discontinued in 2003, but its APU was still included and used, virtually unchanged, in every Nintendo handheld until the release of the Switch. It was manufactured and sold for *31 years*, until the 3DS was discontinued in 2020.
