That but micro or portable - Some sort of all in one sound card (i.e. GUS, SB, Roland, etc. all on one card). - So many wonderful dreams …

I'm trying several combos of emulators versions and configurations because the thingie used to have custom controls. I got one of the 2 …

I love the look of Boxer and GOG.com's game shelves too but I'm mainly a Windows user. I've been looking for a front-end with similar look and feel to use with video games and my eBook collections but I guess it can't be compiled on Windows because it feels like (just speculating) graphics libraries …

Bad news: Adblockers in Firefox & Chrome may gobble system resources Not more than pop-ups. I'm not against ads, I just wish they could ALWAYS open in a new tab so I can read them later and, if they're interesting or convenient, give them the proper attention. Or read them much, much later, since …
