    Great. Now those gamers should get mad at open source emulator devs who make it hard to play old games without running code they gleefully sloppify.

  6. Ppl switched from #Lutris to #Bottles over the former's <3 of AI (and the dev's shitty attitude about it) bc ppl obvs don't want #slopware in OR around their games. #Emulators using #LLMs are almost worse for tainting #art long before theft machines were forced on us.

  8. My god.

    There are $40 handheld consoles you can buy now pre-loaded with 20,000 games AND compatible with the best emulators.

    This generation has no clue how lucky they are as gamers. I want one of these little doo dads.

  13. Migration complete! :blobhaj_heartslove:

    Now we're back in action on but on [email protected]. It won't surprise me if there are still a few std.mem.asBytes casts causing hidden problems. All uses will need a review. But it's working!

    Quite happy with the migration. Nothing too complicated needed to be changed.

  23. Just spotted where the Macro Decoder (ala JPEG) was going wrong on my PS1 Emu.

    I'm getting an image now which is fantastic. Awesome. Ok. Time to eat dinner and get to sleep.

  28. While other studios might only use "modeled emulators" for their "plugins" - I've often preferred instead to use the real deal, whether tube, transformer or tape, whenever the coloration of these has been desired. While it's super rare that I do layback to tape, for this album of contemporary afrobeat I did last week, where the client name checked the likes of Fela Kuti, Antibalas, along with some albums I did for the likes of Budos Band, Sharon Jones, and St. Paul & The Broken Bones, as the vibe they were wanting for their digital mixes - recording their tracks first onto 1/4" 15ips 2-track analog reel via my Otari MX5050-B2 has been just the thing to bring out some sweet sounding grime, saturation & punch that works perfectly for their goals. Shout out to local South Austin tech Tim Allen for getting this machine purring recently. And for any out there looking for a similar funkification of their mixes, give me a holla.

  33. Ars Technica: “Super ZSNES” is a stab at a modern SNES emulator from the original developers. “ZSNES developed rapidly (alongside the contemporary, competing Snes9x project) throughout the late ’90s and early 2000s. Updates slowed after the original creators left the project, and new releases ceased entirely around 2007. But a successor to ZSNES has arrived.”

  38. I built my first computer out of scrapped pieces from a school lab in 1993. It was codenamed "seadragon" and had an 80386 processor, just enough to run Linux (which I did in April 1995).

    My second computer (1997-2000) was bought, not built, and it included this game: Ecco The Dolphin. It was my sister's favourite game, but I forgot about it until today: I found it on my 4K Game Stick Pro.

  41. 🙄 Oh, look! Yet another #wannabe #AWS emulator on #GitHub, because clearly, the world was lacking in half-baked #cloud #computing clones. This one's called 'Hiraeth'—because nothing says "I'm serious about emulating AWS" quite like a word that sounds like a sneeze. 🤧
