    This guy has a pretty good video that discusses it. The short answer is that Atari in the 80s had filed a case in court and got the NES CIC chip code, and made an equivalent Rabbit CIC chip for their bootleg games (he goes more in detail about all of that). Later on the homebrew community struggled to reverse engineer the NES CIC chip or get it to dump it’s CPU instructions. However they found out Atari’s Rabbit one would dump the CPU instructions that were equivalent to the ones NES CIC used. So they used those instructions to reverse engineer the chip, which allowed homebrew games to be developed for the NES with the reverse engineered homebrew chip



  • This is a cop out answer. I tried Jerboa but wasn’t a big fan. That may change in the future. But I feel currently the best way to experience Lemmy on your phone is to do the following:

    1. Install the firefox app from the app store
    2. Go to your Lemmy instance on firefox
    3. press the 3 dots (where you can view bookmarks, history, etc) and click on “Add to Home screen”

    When you click on the Lemmy icon that’s added to your home screen on your phone, it will open up the Lemmy web app (seperate from the firefox browser). It works super nice on mobile from my experience so far, and has a sleek design.
