Implemented game page, you can now download the roms from individual game pages.

I wrote a small todo as well:

• Scrape all the other console games
• Features section
• Contact us page
• Make the pages for all the consoles(at least 10)
• Make the site mobile friendly
• Integrate some sort of privacy-first analytics
• Deploy on netlify/cloudflare workers/something else
• Buy domain
• Connect domain
• Replace the logo & favicon maybe.

Implemented a webscraper using scrapy and started a simple scraping run for sega saturn games.
I also added some pixelart icons to the hero section. Added an frequently asked questions section.

Updated the nes emulation page a bit.

Next I’ll be tackling the games page, that way people can find a game they would like to play.

I want to make the web design of this website good but I am having trouble coming up with good ideas. Next update hopefully will be better.

Created a new website by following the guide at https://www.shadcn-svelte.com/ and https://docs.astro.build/en/install-and-setup/

Using tailwindcss, shadcn-svelte, svelte, astro and https://github.com/EmulatorJS/EmulatorJS

Spent like an hour making a proper text container which switches the words by moving them vertically.

The logo is my recreation of “cool sunglasses emoji pixelart” images I found on google.

I also found a translation issue in emulatorjs and made a Pr to fix the localization of Turkish.

Due to copyright laws I wont be hosting game ROMS however you should be able to find game roms pretty easily online (legally, of course).

Anyways here is Super Mario Bros. running on the web!

I did a bunch of stuff, did 1.0 release. I also made a yt video on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ektxQu2MCU0

New features:

• Cross compatibility for Linux, MacOS and Windows.
• –interval flag which allows anifetch to refresh the fetch info over time. For example, if you give it –interval 1 it will update the info every second.
• Caching is now a lot faster, roughly 2.5x. I achieved this by extracting frames as jpeg when using ffmpeg and using multithreading for chafa.
• Automatic key exit: Anifetch now quits when you press a key(beforehand you had to spesifically do Ctrl+C).
• Oh and fastfetch is now the default backend to use, I should’ve done this sooner considering neofetch is unmaintained lol.

• Fixed terminal mode changing(AGAIN, appearently I didnt fix it beforehand).
• added a “refresh” interval, that way the sysinfo will update over time. Default is -1 (never)

I need to get rid of that black flicker when it updates the fetch info. will probably move the processing over to a new thread.

• Removed some repeating code
• Removed unnecessary read and writes of the template.txt file

From now on the code will only call ffprobe to get video dimensions if there isnt a valid cache and height isnt known.

I also fixed a weird bug where after caching the terminal mode would be broken and up/down arrows would print ^[[A instead of bringing the previous commands. This was caused by me forgetting to send the output of chafa to subprocess.PIPE. It was sending the outputs to the main terminal which messed up the terminal mode

I also removed the “bc” package from dependencies because it was only used for the bash script, which has been ported over to python.

I have also updated the pyproject.toml file to prepare for the PyPI release. I decided to support python 3.10+.

I recorded new benchmarks.

I had to get rid of neofetch from benchmarks because it just refuses to work properly in windows, I either need to dual boot linux which I dont want to do or use WSL which is bad. I can’t use a virtual machine because that slows things a lot and not indicative of actual performance.

Anyways the optimizations I did roughly sped up the caching by 2.75x which is great. Only catch is that the cached time is a bit higher but I think that’s acceptable and I can always optimize it later.

It might be technically possible to use git bash to do benchmarks within windows but I couldnt get neofetch to work properly for some reason in my python code. It works if I call neofetch by itself in git bash it works fine, but doesn’t work when my python script calls it in git bash.

• started work on docs site
• Ported bash script to python so that it can work on windows, linux and macos
• added an keyreader to stop the animation when a key is pressed
• still need to add benchmarking mode
• Fixed truncate line function(was bugged)

• Proper certifications for proper testing on mobile(https with mkcert)
• Fixed a bunch of errors and enabled all compilation warnings(Dont know why arduino doesnt enable them by default)
• Fixed core panic error when sending back a page
• Fixed minor incorrect closing tags / html
• Fixed logic issues in string manipulation
• Server correctly sends back the “enter wifi details” page
• Did QR code scanning(frontend)
• Added a couple of the frontend steps
• New ui theme for webpage
• SoftAP mode done

need to test if NVS correctly works, if so I can get started on remotely controlling the motor connected to the esp32

also need to add some css styling to the “enter wifi details” page

Working on setup of the device, esp32 will send a html form so that the user can enter their wifi credentials(already included auto wifi detection to save them the trouble of entering wifi ssid).

Just need to make the esp32c3 send back status(http response). Then hopefully setup part will be done and I can work on the device pairing. (Also need to clean up the old code)
