  • Here are a couple of clear screenshots from the video.

    Features:

    Paddle
    D-pad
    Trackball
    Keypad
    Face buttons
    Shoulder buttons
    Full-sized HDMI out?
    Headphone jack

    It’s pretty cool that it has all the inputs required to play every Atari home console game and even many arcade games. Having a paddle for games like Tempest is awesome. The trackball, however, was never designed for thumb use. In games like Crystal Castles or Marble Madness, you have to go nuts on it with your hands to be any good. Maybe it lets you dial up the sensitivity.





  • I just installed and tested out the app. I have been using Léon - The URL Cleaner for a while.

    I “shared” your clearurls link to URLChecker as a quick test, and then hit the “Unshorten” button, even though I knew it wasn’t a short URL. This is what it resolved it to:

     url=../../../1.26.1/specs/rules
    

    Haha… Thanks?

    In the end, it takes more taps to do what I want than Leon does. If I share a YouTube link, I have to press “Unshort” then “Apply” to remove useless parameters. Meanwhile, with Leon, it’s already done. As soon as you share to it, it presents the plain YouTube URL with a simpler UI where the buttons have words on them instead of just icons.

    Compare:

    URLChecker

    Leon

    To be fair, it appears to have fewer features. Leon can’t simply remove all parameters or check the URL status. URLChecker also had it’s own quick list of share targets in that central drop-down in addition to a traditional Share button.

    I think I’ll keep both installed in case URLChecker does a better job with non-YouTube URLs.
