maybe the difference between nvidia tnt2 and voodoo 1/2 gpus something got changed (dx 5 vs dx 6, 1998 vs 2000 gpus) but i have no clue why software mode breaks.

heres the best i got via my p2 nvidia tnt2 vanta machine (mixed up the gpu oops), dosbox pure w/ voodoo emu works fine at ~15-16 fps, but my real windows 9x pc cant render 3d correctly, plus cpu crashes. i have gotten it running via low cpu rendering on my p233, but fps was not great.

retrying 1998 pc version from an iso, worse. definitely worse. not even compatible with era appropriate hardware (my pentium 2 ati rage machine cant run it on 98, software only sorta works, id rather emulate the ps1 version through bleem, or hell, upgrade to my pentium 3 pc and use pj64 1.4)

piko lol, the official 1998 pc port is somehow both better and worse pre patch, like, framerate is dropped even further to 15ish(?) and gpu support is crazy bad, i never got anything other than software working, even voodoo doesnt work for me. the piko and n64 sources because of a angry employee

The day we get a non ai glover decomp will be loved (we even have the og + steam source codes leaked...) The official PC port does it by just increasing tick rate without interpolation, breaking literally everything from movement to ball physics.... You couldn't even climb the ramp to Atlantis realm

I spot jlabs! They're decent little things, but a year or two ago I noticed when a friend got one, they DID replace it with USB C on the go air pops, plus, they have n64 fantastic colors on their website... 👀

Is it the mmce fork of OPL + 1+3+6 modes? I have a fat ps2 + a memcard pro and had success with other games but I haven't tested outrun 2006 yet nor have I tested that new loader, neutrino, and can't atm, and I don't have a slim ps2 to test and they have a different memory card io chip

that being said, buying old broadcast equipment is a fun rabbit hole to go down haha, someone was offloading 20 digital cable tv encoders for 200 bucks in my area bulk and i was legitimately thinking about asking for a few of em just so i could make my own cable service in home 😅

TV has had this issue forever, patent fees from inventing standards is a huge market. Digital TV is even worse since dolby owns a huge chunk of audio patents, and mpeg is another patented system that both atsc and dvb work with.

Special encoding. mono+composite video over rf was afaik either cheap or free, while stereo required more expensive decoding hardware, an rf encoder that had the circuitry to encode a second audio signal that can be picked up via the special stereo tvs, which was patented, so it cost more.

Funboringness @funboringness.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
its not that hard unless you want psbbn or hdd stuff, just load opl and have the isos in the correct folder (but also they need to just merge mx4sio, mmce, and exfat support into one branch, the *first* version that comes up when you google OPL... not the third opl fork on psxplace

They forked the Dosbox Pure core out of retroarch into its own launcher like Parallel Launcher, Dosbox Pure Unleashed. It's so much easier to configure and has better acceleration and GPU emulation, it's honestly the best Dosbox fork for ease of use imo

Lmao it came with a goku super saiyan burger king crown with a scannable "not quite" qr code to unlock some outfit for preordering.... I had it, I used it more for the bardock special they put on the disc than the game lmao

Ok now im at a point where i could test *just in case*, even though i have the 2.4 mega drive mini m30, qmtech mister worked fine, even did a full remap, and tested turbo duo core no issues, wired and wireless, and heres what the reciever shows on my pc, and the d-pad is mapped to the analog stick

Ah so there's *three* models then, well shit, I have the 2.4g USB variant, not the genesis 9pin one, cant help with much here at the moment, sorry bout that

Funboringness @funboringness.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
There's two models of the m30, one for Bluetooth + 2.4 and one that's just 2.4 for the mega drive mini, the second doesn't have any mode selects or anything, it shows as a single dinput controller.

Mannnnnn, good luck with that, hope they didn't force any heavy api changes like the 11 update

Funboringness @funboringness.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
Doesnt help that the stores constantly require you to retool games for new os'es, and don't tell you or users about incompatibility, and every "console style" port is either unavailable post android 11 due to sweeping changes or are hastily patched up ports from android 4 pre HD era (final fantasy)

People were pampered by the 2010s era of iOS where it started at iOS 2 games being $1-5, then eventually the "ad free model" or the "town builders" that pioneered the awful gem stuff took over...

Something to remember is that pcsx2 has a bunch of ways to avoid the majority of the post processing that the EE does, it blurs a lot before crt output.

I saw it was getting ported to mobile with the screenshots showing ultra wide (21:9) support, is this you directly behind it or the publisher?

For phones, JLab make great budget earbuds, ~$20-25, only issue I have is there's no damn replacement for Bluetooth audio sink's awful calling standard set 2.5 decades ago for flip phones (8khz in/out, mono at 64kbps), and there's wideband 16khz, which not everything supports yet(?)

They also have co-op!!!! I loved this one when they put it on the 6th gen consoles, alongside pacman and galaga, never knew they also had xevious, rally-x and mappy until downloading them in mame around 2011 when the emulation of them still was iffy haha

Lol certainly, it's a 9 inch RCA crt made for portability, both AC and DC inputs, and a carrying handle! The only issue I have is that it's 300 ohm terminals only, but I have no issue with RF at a screen this size. (the noise is only really picked up by the camera, it's not too noticeable in person)

It's Bluetooth, so someone should be able to write a firmware (or more likely update the many projects that already exist for other controllers) for the raspberry pi pico w, which would then allow for other console usage with something like GP2040-ce.

Every mainstream product, it's depressing to think, people just... Buy anyway, there's been a boycott on MS for years now, nothing's changed to Xbox users, they don't care, instant gratification's more fun. Who cares about AI usage if it looks good, or makes them laugh... Ughhhh

Oh I love the last 3 years of Atari don't get me wrong, but if they were to keep buying, PLEASE buy the old Atari arcade/midway stuff back from Warner Bros, it doesn't even have to be Mortal Kombat, they have dozens of other games just sitting, I'd love to see Gauntlet or rush again
