Modified TCL Flip running KaiOS?

Which makes me wonder how they claim to support WhatsApp since they no longer support KaiOS. Maybe it's an Android fork instead.

> there are DOSBox forks, most popular one would be DOSBox-X

Straight from the article:

> there are actively developed alternatives like DOSBox-X


Slightly related: does anyone know why it's being deprecated on brew? https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/openrct2

You can follow the link to the cask code on GitHub and the line disabling will (usually) leave a clear reason. In this case, because of Gatekeeper/codesigning because that costs money https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/15879?utm_source...

Isn’t there some guy who goes around compiling these games with his codesign?

If there is and that works in a way the OpenRCT2 team keeps full control of their automated build/release pipeline it might be worth getting them in touch! Another option would be someone donate for it.

He has the adhoc signed one on his site: https://www.macsourceports.com/game/rct2

Why not release the iOS app in all regions?

Hi u/HelloUsername, thanks for the question.

Apple has not approved our documentation for 23 countries in Europe yet. They require it for the European Union Digital Services Act [see https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-co...]. Note that the Android app is available in these (both in the Google Play Store as well as Obtainium).

France, specifically, is excluded due to needing a specific French encryption declaration form. [https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-ap...] - as we do not have a lawyer to consult, we decided it would be best to hold off on this to be certain we do it right.

For some other specific countries outside of Europe, such as North Korea, we are required to abide by export laws in the US. We tend to try to go on the safe side when excluding, as we do not have a lawyer to consult.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!


> They should release a version of the Steam Deck that doesn't allow you to game, you can only watch other people play games. The Spectator Deck.

The Stream Deck?

Though I believe that name is taken already.
