Fixed that for you. Gekko died, came back again, and is now on ice. It's still alive because I say so. Who knows, I might dabble with it eventually for kicks
Anyway, it never really got around to actually booting enough games to have dozens of per-game hacks. I gather it has lots of GC hacks in general though.
I honestly wish I was a programmer, and I honestly wish that I could get myself into practicing in programming, but I always keep putting it off.
I'm sure if I was a programmer, I would've been researching so much into the Wii U, reverse engineering the hardware and contributing to Decaf and making it far better in emulation than Cemu.
Steps to becoming a programmer:
Step 1: Write code
Step 2: ????
I don't think you mean you wish you were a programmer. I think you mean you wish you were a GOOD programmer. Or someone with enough of an understanding of electronic/computer engineering to do low level emu programming.
Honestly, i tried downloading ubuntu to learn how to code and I didn't really like it that much.
Has anyone made a console out of a Raspberry pi? Is it that difficult? (Im thinking of gutting my old gba sp and buying a odroid to make a portable quake 3 machine.)
Why do you need ubuntu to code?

I don't know if this kind of mentality still persists, but among wanna-be hackers (in both the original "computer tinkerer" sense and the overinflated "bad guy w/computer" definition) the opinion is that you have to "learn Linux" if you want to get skillz. I gather some beginners to programming get exposed to that idea as well. I'll admit, I was originally curious about Linux because I wanted to become "advanced" with computers or whatever I thought that meant.
Linux has a (somewhat?) mistaken association with hardcore programming. Kids hear it informally and think, "I need Linux to
really code something". Ubuntu is the default Linux distro for a majority of new users (even though Mint is way, way better...) so that might explain the comment.
These days I use Linux primarily because I'm more comfortable with it that anything else. I'm also computer control freak, and Slackware lets me do whatever I want. That I program emulators and use Linux are correlated, but one does not cause the other.
I'm a computer student, and we use Linux mainly for admin system stuff.
