(7:14) Heads up for both you and Old 3DS owners, GBA emulators dont work well on the Old 3DS at all. I think open_AGB firm is perfectly fine for both systems, but its kinda the only option for O3DS users here (i say this as an O3DS owner myself).

The ending made me laugh out loud because it's the exact same thing I do. The real modded game systems are the friends we made along the way or something like that. Great video, man

[bradleyunknown]

My dad did modding and pirating movies and games we couldnt afford when i was a little kid and it really made a amazing childhood. Now that hes passed it almost made me cry to hear my friends memories of him giving pirated games and cartoons to their families and how amazing he was to them. A digital robin hood of our small town and a wonderful father to me and my siblings.

"I'm installing windows on a Mac Mini, because I couldn't use linux properly on my PS4" is a crazy statement

[hunterkline]

The ending was scarily accurate to what I do. I’ve modded my switch, 3ds, and WiiU so many times just because it gives me an indescribable feeling of nostalgia for some reason. The process of obtaining the games is addicting for some reason.

[pinaz]

Holy crap that ending. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with you. You find the process fulfilling. Finding a way around the problems is a game in and of itself. Don't let other's people's expectations make you question what brings you joy.

I didn't expect that ending, but man, I really related to it. I first got into modding and hacking because of my own financial limitations, but as I did it more and more and got older, I realized I just love technology. For some reason, I always think back to that one npc in pokemon who says, "Technology is incredible!"

[AnimalTruk]

Damn man. That ending came outta nowhere & hits deep. If you’re passionate about this, you should keep doing it. I love seeing this kinda stuff & I’m sure a lot more people love seeing this too! Stay strong ✊

[merlob]

bro that got so existential and relateable so fast

[grogeoryrooose]

Totally felt that ending. I grew up poor af and as I got older I just wanted to play games. So I would hunt them down at thrift stores and pawn shops. But then I discovered modding and fell in love with the process of unlocking the potential of the system. Then I found easy way to get roms and play games I missed growing up and started collecting those. I think the praise I got from friends and family regarding the modding made me feel good about myself as well. I guess its a bunch of factors, but ultimately its just fun to me to see what a system can do.

That ending caught me off guard, but resonated heavy. These days I barely have time to play some of my favorite video games from childhood and the ones that have come out in recent years. I have found like a bunch of us how thrilling and satisfying it is to mod your console or handheld and push it to it's absolute limits. Over the years, I fell in love with the modding community, because that community doesn't know and has no intentions of ever stopping. For me, it goes deeper than actually experiencing the video game itself; it brings to light the many forgotten gems and relics of the past that companies today fail to realize or are too blinded by greed to properly pay homage to. Great great conclusion to the video!

Because we cant let go. We remember these consoles as part of us, as part of our childhoods, teentime etc. Seeing them die, seeing them getting shutdown and left in the dust by their manufacteurs grants us the possibility to revive a part of our already lived time and keep it as a wonderful, tiny memento of what we loved and used to do. It aint about gaming per se, it is about the games and what they mean to us.

Modding is freaking awesome.

[davidgill]

That ending really got to me. I'm completely addicted to modding. I think for me it's about game preservation. Even when I was a child, I dreamed of a game console that could play everything. So I go from console to console pushing them to their limit. I still consider myself a gamer, but I think I get more enjoyment from the modding process. Doing this though has led to my new career as a Computer IT technician, so I am forever grateful. It's nice to see someone like me who feels the same way about this. God bless you sir, you've gained a subscriber.

[GrayFox]

That outro really hit home. It's an endless cycle. Stemmed from feelings of trying to capture the past, we enjoy the hunt. But It does feel hollow when you don't play the games either. The desire to feel excited about the things we enjoyed when we were young is something that never goes away.

[rosiehare]

Thanks for the fucking existential crisis! 13:00 .

[oirtaM]

Bro.. is everything okay? You really caught me off guard there.
Modding is a passion, tinkering and tearing down systems to work the way we want them to be is a perfectly healthy thing to do! It's a valuable hobby and on the way you can help people like us understand a bit more about the underground of the homebrew and modding community. What you've developed over the years is a skill that can be applied to many more things!

[qchtohere]

From a fellow data hoarder with nostalgia addiction, it does matter.
Those making these homebrew and those testing to make sure that people like us are able to keep alive and up to date our still functional hardware, not only for us, but for everyone that can use them.

So, honest suggestion, if you feel you're hoarding while preserving something you love, the solution is simple: share.

[CombatByrd]

This ending did a great job summing up my feelings! When I was a kid I would spend days and days manually downloading every rom for every system, just to spend 30 minutes fiddling around before moving on to play something more modern. Great video!

Came for the tech tips, stayed for the group therapy.

I've just recently gotten deeper into software and hacking hardware, i've been doing it my whole life but now it's starting to really fascinate me after having taken a few basic electrical theory courses. I just started getting into putting linux on every device I can find that'll run it
