Sorry I&#8217;ve been a bit quiet, but I&#8217;ve recently started a new day job. Hurrah. Unfortunately, the process of finishing \u00a0job A and starting job B has taken up more time than I anticipated, so I haven&#8217;t been around much &#8211; Although I did find some time last week to play around with emulation on the Ouya. It may well be seen as an ugly unsightly pimple on gaming&#8217;s already rather unsightly face, but it actually isn&#8217;t bad at all!<\/p>\n<p>Aside from that, I&#8217;ve also knocked together a quick track.
