Nice. I remember discovering ROMs via torrents in middle school and feeling like an absolute chad playing any game I wanted anytime.

I miss the ZSNES days.

remember xbox 1.0 modchips?

Yes, I had one. I was quite involved in the softmod scene too, making how-to guides and software packs to make it easy for others. I modded ~400 OG Xbox myself, didn't work a real job for a year or two thanks to the money earned πŸ˜…

Always learning new fun shit about your Ryan. Neat.

At $200 a pop it kept the bills paid πŸ˜—πŸ‘Œ

Sick! That’s awesome.

It was yeah. That was a lot of money back then too. Unfortunately wasted by youthful indiscretion πŸ˜‚

Many such cases πŸ˜‚

It's also why I initially learned about Linux. Some tools needed it, and you could turn an Xbox into a capable file server for media.

In 2002 my house had a central server to store torrents, and you could watch them on any TV in the house through XBMC on modded Xboxes. I was already living in the future.

we come from the same blood

do you remember suprnova the torrent site

and #xbins usenet

Xbins was a must have.

Must be nice. Today I learned what an outbox relay is.

I put team xecuter chips in 4 xbox's

i was one of the early users of xbmc kodi, halo 1 via xbconnect, halo 2 was leaked to the scene before it came out

good days

I wish I had nostr as a kid

It was called IRC back then.

What is that?

Internet Relay Chat

Idk what that is either lol

Something with more users than Nostr πŸ˜‚

mIRC was awesome.

Still is! nostr:nprofile1qqs8eseg5zxak2hal8umuaa7laxgxjyll9uhyxp86c522shn9gj8crspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgjwaehxw309ahx7um5wgerztnrdakj7qgkwaehxw309a3x2an09ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsvlnggv has an IRC server running with Nostr identity login.

That emulator was sick

I remember finding roms too and going back to beat super mario world for the first time haha I was just always paranoid about getting in trouble for it like I was on limewire πŸ˜‚
