I had this dream once.

Matt Desmond has released Des-test Kernal for the C64.

Instead of being a cart you plug in, this is a KERNAL replacement that can fully test all of the C64's RAM in an extremely thorough way. Much better test than any other existing test for the C64.

@fenriswolfretro.bsky.social found this amazing SNES repo board and it's the first time I've seen them finally do one of these. 1uprestorations.com/collections/...

I haven't played Diablo 2 in 15 years. Gonna try hopping on the new D2R ladder tonight. Let's see if I even remember how to play.

That's my Garak right there.

I am pleased to announce that at 20:00 CEST (about 2 hours from now), I'm gonna show a new recently found first party #64DD game prototype.

Fun fact Lt. Dante from Vortex looks vaguely like my wife. 👀

Happy 5th birthday to the official theme for Spirit Halloween

Oh dear. Hope that wasn't too much trouble!

I've personally had some trouble getting the translation running on my ODE modded Saturn, but I think that's the ODE, not the Saturn. Drive in that one died long ago.

I generally prefer Mednafen. It works well with the translation too.

The original SNES game's translation isn't particularly great, sometimes hindering game play.

PS1 is a bit better, but lacks the Saturn's (pretty cool) Japanese voice acting.

Sounds strange, but both PS1 and Saturn are a lot faster to play too. SNES has a rather slow compression scheme it uses.

The PS1 has some issues - resistances don't scale like they should because of a bug which means the final boss and others can easily wipe you when that's not intended.

US SNES version accidentally makes leveling harder than the Japanese version intended, but is otherwise a fine way to play.

Ogre Battle speedrunner and general obsessive here.

Probably the translated Saturn version. Has some extra content that doesn't change the original experience and some extra map info that makes the game easier to play and understand.

PS1 and the US SNES versions are fine with caveats.

This is a big announcement today from a preservation perspective -- the WaveNet version of UMK3 has never been playable since the 90s in any form whatsoever. We got it up and running in Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection! It's the only arcade game to feature a playable Noob Saibot.

Generally yeah. Not valid unfortunately. What model do you have?

Didja hear about the new PicoGUS firmware? Updated Dual Shock 4 support, a better Sound Blaster engine, and more. Check it out!

Do you have a late model PS2? You could look into the mechacon hacks. Let's you play any region psx game with some caveats affecting PS2 games.

Aw heck yeah (sarcasm)

No joke. Nano/micro-machine engineer. I did an award winning project on the viability of certain materials and processes in highschool that got me looked at by some military and other folks in black suits.

Entire experience soured things on multiple fronts.

You have through the end of Thursday, July 31 to get your BBG 2025 submissions in!

💻🏃🏻‍♀️💨 (me running to my pc to submit)

It's a good enough option even for playing on if you have a little soldering skill.

Startech makes a comp + s video to HDMI converter that's at least pretty color accurate, but that's the only one I have much experience with. It's 100 dollars though. If you're willing to do a bit of Amazon return roulette you could probably get one just as good for less.

Is this to output to play on or just to upscale for capture? The low lag is what has the price tag.

An ice cream abomination, named cookiepuss. I honestly have no idea how to describe it. Just imagine pure abject ice cream and cookie horror.

Hulk Hogan is dead. Post ice cream abominations in celebration.
