I dual boot Kubuntu ~~22.04~~(edit: 23.04) on the SD. Using a Pinnacle 801e TV stick and NextPVR for viewing.

The TV stick does most of the heavy lifting, CPU usage was really low. Drivers weren't an issue. It's already supported in the kernel.

I just got sick of that damn hedgehog struttin' around like he owns the place.

True story... The Game Gear TV adaptor has an A/V input. You have to have a cord that converts the composite audio/video connection down to a 1/8" mini plug.

So when the OG Xbox came out in 2001, I had a teaching gig. Went to the store, picked up the Xbox, Halo, and Project Gotham Racing, then went to the school.

That day was a prep day for me, so what I did was hook up the Xbox under a desk, ran the A/V cord to the Game Gear, and that's how I got to play Halo at work on day 1. ;)

That has to have been one of the coolest and nerdiest ways to play. A solid GG from me.

Fine, the Game Gear was just a portable TV at that point. I used the Xbox controller.

That's pretty neat. Reminds me of some of the weird things is set up to play games when I was at work, back when I didn't do much.
