If you've got a #PowKiddy #v90 (with the #MiyooCFW firmware) or #Anbernic device, you might find that you can get more movies/shows on a card and have them play smoother with this oneline #bash script (just an ffmpeg command that uses $1 as a filename:
------

#!/bin/bash

ffmpeg -y -i "$1" -r 20 -s 352x288 -vb 400k -acodec aac -strict experimental -ac 1 -ar 8000 -ab 24k "$1.3gp"

------
It'll make a 3gp video file with a lower bitrate and resolution. Fine for tiny screens

This is some BULLSHIT

> Agents accused the creator of promoting pirated copyrighted materials stemming from his coverage of #Anbernic handheld game consoles. While emulation software is not illegal, a surprising number of these devices ship chock-full of pre-loaded #ROMs—the channel showed multiple #Sony and #Nintendo games running on the device.

Anbernic handheld that looks like a Game Boy.
Ars Technica · YouTuber faces jail time for showing off Android-based gaming handheldsBy Ryan Whitwam

I just found out that the Anbernic retro consoles can also run the headless version of Dirtywave M8 Tracker.

That's the excuse I was missing to buy a Teensy 4.1 and get on with it.

I am really curious what other stuff I can do on the RG Cube XX (aside from playing old games).

Here is my review of the Anbernic RG Slide: if you can get over the bulky size, you're likely going to love it. For everyone else, the next generation version might be worth waiting for. youtu.be/rU1PIciu2F8

It's also now up for sale, $179 + shipping:
