I also have one that acts as my media centre, and as well as the media centre client systems, and one for retro gaming (I still love the old 8-bit NES games).

I've gone down the rabbit hole of Amiga emulation:

I've even managed to get an emulated Amiga to play MP3 audio with total fidelity (with the aid of the JIT system in FS-UAE), as detailed in that Markdown. I will most likely eventually go down the rabbit hole of Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum emulation as well. I was born in 1988 so these things are entirely new and fascinating for me.

On a related note I wrote a ratings scraper for the most single comprehensive abandonware site (My Abandonware) because they don't have detailed sorting functionality:

https://github.com/readyready15728/scrapers

Included is a static output dump of the two scrapers (the other is for a demoscene website) which is less than two weeks old. I scraped a lot of genres, platforms etc. and it took a long time to get all the ratings so the dump was included for convenience.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
