How It All Started: Fairlane Talks Upbringing and Emergence Into the Electronic Music Scene
Canadian electronic producer Fairlane has been musical for most of his life. At a very young age, his parents had him enrolled in piano classes, where he first got a taste of music and performing. Unfortunately, it was a bitter memory, as Fairlane recalls making a minor mistake during a piano recital when he was 10 years old. “I vowed to never perform music again,” he tells EDM.com. Eventually, Fairlane got over that mishap and went on to play in a band. However, there was one small problem: he did not know how to read sheet music. “I’ve always learned everything by ear,” he explained. “I had the same problem with piano. I would just practice and memorize it and so I froze up when I went to read music because I was unable to read the music.” A...
Hacker Manages to Run PlayStation Games on a Game Boy Advance
If you’ve had your Game Boy Advance for two decades now and you’ve exhausted all the games you can play, YouTube hacker Rodrigo Alfonso is here to help you breathe new life into the classic handheld.

Essentially, the game runs on a separate system that’s connected to the Game Boy and streams both your control inputs as well as the video via the handheld’s Link Port which was previously used for local multiplayer connections. As Engadget points out, you won’t get bi-directional transfer speeds of more than 1.6Mbps, although even within thos...
