  1. The community server allows you to install a selection of games now, through clever use of the *bundles* feature!

  2. @GamesMissed I have 3 and built a community replacement server after the official server shut down in 2019.

  3. Did anyone reading this ever have an #Ouya console? I remember that they looked interesting -- Towerfall (towerfall-game.com/) was originally an exclusive -- but then dropped off the radar. Well, if you want one, it may be at the Flea again later.

  4. @kosinus I'd like to hear about the part.

  5. I just cross-compiled a whole #NixOS installation with zero build errors. That's wild.

    Also, it's running on an old #Ouya console. 🔥

  6. @jdarnold @daemon_nova It'll download the latest firmware when you connect it to the community server. Early firmwares had their share of problems, but the latest is very usable.

  7. @daemon_nova oh man - the #Ouya! I pledged early and even had a monogrammed controller. What a piece of junk. Not sure I ever got it running well enough to actually play a game

  8. @wesmason we have an community server at ouya.cweiske.de/ that lets you resurrect the ouyas and download + play all the games again.

  9. Sometimes I dig at home and find stuff I have. Sometimes I just need to move something.

    I still have the console. I may have a second one in storage. Both I believe are bricks now that the cloud services are dead. Maybe android 4 bricks if I wanted to really get creative. The path to custom ROM'ing these beasties was shaky at best, but I did have one done in a dual boot IIRC.

    I have 4 controllers and always keep an eye out for possible uses even today.

  10. We were robbed of a community focused, developer friendly console that bore most of my favorite couch games to this day. Remember the OUYA

  11. @LaurenZannah You can use the community server to get the working again after official server shutdown in 2019.

  12. Anyone know if I can run #Pico8 on the #OUYA ? Mines just sat in its box collecting dust. Would be nice to have it used for something.

  13. Turns out I’m a fair bit materialistic. My partner got me lovely late birthday / father’s day presents, including a #RaspberryPi 4, which is going to become the new #LibreELEC station, hopefully giving my #OUYA controllers a second life along the way. I’ve got a couple of old low-spec netbooks that I keep repurposing, but running out of ideas. Thinking of trying #Freedombox on one of them. Any recommendation to make use of old, mildly dysfunctional lappies?

  14. Anyone remember #Boxee? Or the #Ouya? The #BlackberryPearl? #Minidisc??

    I blogged this last year: my "gadget graveyard", a.k.a. old stuff I should probably get rid of but I somehow just can't so stop asking already, geez.

    Some people hold on to 10x as much stuff, so I'm actually kind of a lightweight. Also, I'm only posting this because @SomeGadgetGuy just triggered a memory of my beloved LG G4 phone. 😀

  15. Restore Your Formerly Useless Ouya Console - Plenty of electronics end up in the junk drawer or even landfill after their usefu... - hackaday.com/2022/08/03/restor #phonehome #android #console #server #signin #games #game #ouya

  16. So after actually using the controller for a little while last night. I found the following:

    As most reviews say it's not great, part of that is due to it's budget. But maybe also poor design decisions.

    The DPAD is terrible, I was struggling to do any type of diagonal control / button press.

  17. Why do I do this to myself?

  18. Using the controller of the dead Google gaming console with a dead but resurrected : cweiske.de/tagebuch/ouya-stadi

  19. Anyone else remember the #OUYA ? I still think the idea was a good one especially given the time it released.

  20. I will never forget when Internet got hyped for the #ouya, basically an under-powered android device you connect to your TV. For only to end up in a massive disappointment because it turned out to be an under-powered android device you connect to your TV.

    I did not see that one coming...

  21. Many thanks to Computer Clan for allowing me serve as a contributor on their latest episode! Oh, #OUYA… why did you have to die so soon? That’s right… because you were TERRIBLE. #RIP
