I sort of regretted downloading massive rom packs for retro consoles because I never actually get round to playing them. it's so hard to settle on one when there's so much choice. But now with the recent crack downs on ROM sites I'm really glad I've preserved them. Hoard away friend!

With mappable mouse keyboard controls I imagine it would be really fun

Looks amazing can't wait to try it out!

You could use freezer instead

I love you newpipe

Same I love adguard. I only wish there was a way to use it with a third party VPN (without root)

Just gave me a random memory. I used to scan stuff through as onions back when self checkout was introduced. Got away with it so many times. Wouldn't recommend it now😅

True but they offer clubcard prices for certain items which are made to look cheaper. In reality the clubcard price is the true value and the 'base' price is a mark up. So I guess we're being charged for trying not to give our data

Honestly I think it would be easier to find rompacks with more seeders, Download batocera and then add your Roms yourself. It's not that much more work although it might feel like it

 

Hey I'm sure you all know how sketchy club cards are for collecting your data. But I do begrudge paying slightly higher prices just for valuing my privacy. I was wondering if there was any way to sign up to these things whilst limiting the data they have access to. Would it be enough to sign up with fake details and never use their apps? Or should I just give up on this all together? Thanks!

Damn shit like this freaks me out I wonder how easy I would be to track down

No worries, gotta share the booty!

I personally use adguard to block connections whilst also doubling up as ad/tracker blocker. You can also route different apps through a proxy network such as tor if you want certain apps to be more private
