it died in 1982 when the Brabham BT50 was the first F1 car to have an proper Bosch ECU with data collection as part of Bernie Ecclestone's belief as owner of Brabham that small turbocharged engines were the future and needed to be studied and understood for long term success (/half-joking)

So Wolverine might be bootable faster, but the only people capable of making it run correctly and perfectly are leaving the hobby because people keep hyping up these barely working genAI projects while complaining about proper emulators with history behind them. Is that worth it?

ddm @ddm.gt-mod.site · 30/09/2026

You've bought into the nonsense. There's no hyper accelerated progress in *working* emulation: there's hyper accelerated progress in "make a minimum viable thing for this that's massively bloated, unperformant and buggy".

I am not saying all recomps are useless: just recomps of games that already work perfectly in emulators, or where the code is unusable garbage from repeated hacks upon hacks, or that break licenses for the code they used, or where their developer can't tell you a single thing about how they work.

ddm @ddm.gt-mod.site · 04/09/2026

Kind of negative compared to what I usually post, but: If anything I make or contribute to is fed into an LLM by some moron who can't be bothered to check any code or comply with licenses while making their useless "recomp", I do not want to speak to or hear from anyone contributing to or hyping it.

iirc the menus are a bit janky in VR but fine other than that it's cockpit camera, yeah and I think not *that* nauseous I would say probably just a bit more than simracing; I don't think I could do it for like, 3 hours straight, but an hour is fine (and I'm not the best with VR generally so)

no wonder Williams don't have their F1 car running yet if it looks like this :^)

so _technically_ EAC never "includes" libraries, it grabs and sets up whatever version is selected on the backend (and the same thing knows when it's running through Proton to grab a Linux version instead of Windows) afaik the problem is they have not clicked to activate any Linux build like this

A good way to find definitely working games is to check the RPCN compatibility list. Any game that is known to work on RPCN without requiring custom servers is only dependent on PSN, so will work on a real PS3. Obviously, there are also a lot of games that work on PS3 but not RPCS3 though.

because this makes all the legal stuff way easier for them basically the point is that you have to have a person in the EU responsible for ensuring your stuff meets regulations so that if they don't, they can be prosecuted: rather than having to convince your country to prosecute or extradite you

PSA: Today's Tokyo Xtreme Racer update again upgrades the engine version, this time to UE5.6. UE4SS, and thus also my Dynamic Day/Night Cycle mod, are incompatible with this version at the moment so the mod will be *broken* until further notice!

PSA: Tokyo Xtreme Racer updated to 0.13.0 and they upgraded the Unreal Engine version to 5.5 - and UE4SS used for my Dynamic Day/Night Cycle mod fails to inject to that version, even when I update the plugin to the latest! Consider removing UE4SS mods until further notice.

It should also be noted that the plot of MGSV actually has a whole bunch of distinct microorganisms, there's: nuclear enriching archaea, metal corrosive archaea, make zombies archaea (???), vocal cord parasites which kill based on language (and I kinda conflated them all in my original reply)

Don't know if you've seen: tetris.wiki/Tetris_The_G... (my assumption is this came from rev-eng given it's precision) in "X of Y": X is basically like TGM3 section COOLs but with tetris/allclear included, Y is just sections completed (except... the sections don't quite actually line up the same 🙃)

ddm @ddm.gt-mod.site · 07/04/2025

As someone who's not particularly fantastic at Tetris - I really enjoy TGM2 especially and it feels great when get a great run that leads to a new best grade. But in TGM4 the grades aren't related to how well you played. You can't really even compare them when both sides are different.

030

ddm @ddm.gt-mod.site · 07/04/2025

It's just not really at all understandable whether you did better or worse - the rank system just sucks. In TGM4 there's two parts to it: how many hidden conditions you fulfilled & how far through the levels you got. It seems neither is all that related to how well you played.

120

ddm @ddm.gt-mod.site · 06/04/2025

Tokyo Xtreme Racer being in this similar state of "small Japanese company revives dormant franchise": but being cheaper, explicitly early access, closer to what fans want but also accessible to newcomers, clearly had a lot of work to be PC friendly... I wish TGM4 was on the same level as that.

ddm @ddm.gt-mod.site · 06/04/2025

it's kinda wild I think basically all of the modes are pretty fun _except_ TGM Normal. yknow. that thing that's the main part of the TGM series. which they have just totally screwed up. lol plus yeah the price is quite bad and Arika seemingly being totally unaware of how PC games work doesn't help

Ah jeez I know I'm cooked when I don't quite remember the AC04 briefing screen: but I recognise Operation Autumn Thunder as the Siege of Farbanti, Farbanti itself as the capital of Erusea, and the date of 2005 being the end of the Continental War - to assure me that it definitely is AC04.

If you're not in a team and you want to make one, go to "Teams" from the sidebar of the UI, click "Start a Team" in the top right, give it a name, and invite your friends by clicking "Add a Team Member". Alternatively, ask a friend to invite you to an existing one.

Find "Bathurst 12 Hour" in the series list, select one of your teams, select drivers who are taking part. You *can* register as just one driver within a team, but you will get DQed at the end because the event is set to require at least two.
