How do I find settings for different systems?

Hi, I have a question about how to set up emulators on different systems.

At the moment, I’m emulating games on both a PC (an old laptop I’ve installed Linux on) and a Retroid 4 Pro, and I was wondering if there’s a specific website/discord/subredit that lists the best settings for the different systems. Something like: ‘To emulate this console on this system, the best emulator is X and the best settings are Y.’ or something like that.

The little I found back when I was setting up the Retroid was in the subreddit r/retroid and some youtube videos but now that I want to set up another system, I was wondering if there were any centralised configurations available anywhere.

I finally finished the first version of my free tin whistle web app. It's live in beta and I'd love your feedback.

Hey everyone,

A while ago I posted about a web app I was building to help learn tin whistle without needing to read standard sheet music. I got tired of jumping between YouTube and static PDFs, so I decided to build a tool for it.

I just pushed the first playable version online, so you can actually test it out now.

You can find it here: Wind Tones

Here is a quick look at what you can do right now:

  • Visual fingering charts: Shows the exact hole patterns for a D whistle, big enough to read from your phone.
  • Playback control: Slow down the tempo to learn, with autoscroll and active note highlighting.
  • Upload anything: You can now upload your own tunes (any kind of song works, not just the built-in Celtic ones).
  • Printable charts: I added the option to download the fingering charts as PDFs.
  • Community features: You can save tunes to your favorites and rate songs uploaded by others.
  • Practice-ready: Mobile-first layout and dark mode, so you can just put it on a music stand.

Just a heads-up: this is very much a trial version. It's just me working on it, so you'll probably find a few bugs, or a tune might load weirdly depending on your screen size.

I'm really looking for some honest feedback. If you grab your whistle and play around with it, let me know:

  1. Did anything break or crash?
  2. Is the visualizer actually useful while playing?
  3. What feature is missing? (I'm thinking about a built-in metronome or a section-looper next).

Thanks to everyone who helped with ideas on my last post.

Cheers.

Coleccionistas de cromos: ¿Cómo os apañáis para los cambios?

​Estoy con los del Mundial y me sorprende que en 2026 todavía no haya ninguna app decente para gestionar los intercambios por zonas.

​Como soy desarrollador y tengo tiempo libre, he pensado en hacerme una yo mismo para organizar los cambios en mi ciudad. ¿Os parece una tontería o creéis que la gente la usaría para evitarse paseos en balde?

Is there a decent app to trade World Cup stickers locally?

Hey guys, I’ve started my World Cup album but I'm struggling to find a good tool to manage my duplicates and, more importantly, find people nearby to trade IRL. Everything I find feels like it's from 2010.

​Since I'm a developer and I currently have some spare time, I was thinking about building a simple "Steam-style" trading app specifically for local swaps. Do you think it’s worth the effort or is everyone just using Facebook groups?

WindTones is live! (the fingering chart site I previewed a while back)

Hey,

Quick follow-up to the post I made here a while back asking what you'd want in a free fingering-chart web app. It's out:

https://wind-tones.vercel.app/ (WindTones)

It's not indexed by search engines yet, so the link above is the only way in for now.

Have a look and let me know what you think. Thanks again for all the input on the last post.

You can upload, rate and save songs if you login. (The app sends no emails btw)

Cheers.

Edit:

If any of you have a few minutes to poke around and send me feedback before I let it get indexed, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks again for all the input on the last post.

Hey,

I'm an amateur whistle player and a dev, and I got tired of jumping between sheet music I can't really read, YouTube tutorials, and PDFs of fingering charts. So I started building a small web app to learn tunes on the tin whistle without needing to read standard notation.

It's still early, but here's what works today:

- Catalog of Irish/Celtic public-domain tunes (sourced from TheSession.org so everything is legal to share).
- Fingering visualizer: every note in the tune is shown as the actual hole pattern for a D whistle, big and clear so you can read it from a phone on a music stand.
- Built-in playback with tempo control, so you can slow tunes down to learn them.
- Autoscroll and active note highlight while the tune plays.
- Favorites and ratings so you can build your own practice list.
- Dark mode and mobile-first design (because that's how I actually use it during practice).
- Optional sheet music view for people who do read notation.

What I'd love to ask: What's the one feature that would actually make you use something like this regularly? A few things I'm considering but haven't built yet:

- Looping a specific section ("just bars 5–8, slowly")
- Practice tracking / streaks
- Printable PDF of the fingering chart for a tune
- Backing tracks / metronome

Cheers, and thanks for any input.
