Nvidia has categorically denied that its upcoming RTX 50 family of laptop GPUs has been hit by the same missing ROP debacle as numerous variants of RTX 50 desktop graphics cards.

Heh, good luck. Nintendo has been absolutely relentless when it comes to Switch emulators, and for good reason: the company recently confirmed that the Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with the vast majority of Switch titles, so naturally, it doesn’t want folks accessing said games in other ways.

According to Reuters, the United States president told congress they should ditch the 2022 act and use whatever is left of its $52 billion in subsidies to pay debts, rather than to encourage…
“It’s time to break the habit”. Retro accessory maker Hyperkin has issued an apology on social media after a series of fumbled launches and heavily delayed releases.
