I didn't either beside the shareware episode back in the days. Doom + Doom II is a great value it's around 200 levels total!

Speaking of Doom II, while it introduced some of the most iconic enemies of the series, the vast majority of the maps totally sucks. I had a hard time motivating myself to finish it.

Plutonia is probably the best game IMHO, TNT isn't bad either, not sure why Final Doom got a bad reputation. I played the Sigils after legacy, so being based on Doom 1 they felt a bit flat gameplay wise, Doom II enemies and the super shotgun really speed up the tempo of the game.

Finally got through all the games in Doom + Doom II, Legacy of Rust got great and challenging maps, Vassago is a great new enemy but I didn't care much for the others. Incinerator and calamity blade are great too but the calamity is maybe too easy to use for the power, the BFG was more balanced.

@randallinden.bsky.social How is the rumble implemented in Doom FX3? Extra pulse on latch line like the SNES mouse speed settings? Or extra IO line? I would like to add support for it in BlueRetro!

The entitlement in some comments is quite disgusting, being able to flash an STM32 doesn't give you the right to use somebody Firmware. You have to follow the term under which it was released by the author. It's that simple. Also disliking the ways of the author is irrelevant.

Just a heads up that Sean Lee Robinson aka "Geek with Social Skills" has been sniffing around again. Folks who may not know, this is the guy who scammed members of the vintage computer, telecom, arcade and console communities.

Made a video about this loser:

Don't get scammed!

This is based on little RE, but so far it doesn't allow you to discover what the handles do, all attributes use custom UUIDs, no HID descriptor. Do you have to know and hardcode support for it.

On a 2nd look, I do see a LE beacon when it's in pairing mode. Likely usable then.

Unfortunately at first look the SW2 controllers do not appear to be standard BT devices. Not sure yet if this is only at the pairing protocol level or at the RF level as well. Follow this thread on Github, I will update it as I go github.com/darthcloud/B...

You could play and save simultaneously. Its just that memory card packets are quite long & repeated so that would add probably some latency if done while playing. You can have a controller on the memory slot. Actually it's one of the new feature of the MemCard Pro.

On the PS1 all 4 ports share the same SPI bus.

PS1 memory card emulation coming soon to BlueRetro ๐Ÿ˜Ž Basically just missing the web interface for formatting it.
