The Ring is worth playing just to see how insane a video game based on the Korean adaptation of a batshit crazy Japanese horror novel can get.
I just don't see the market for a kit like this now that all in one FPGA solutions like the Superstation are hitting the market. Something like that is not that much more than a Pi 5 with a case, some controllers and whatnot, and I would assume anyone who cared about input lag would go for the FPGA.
Some of the SBCs that are better than the RPi can go up to PS2 emulation with resolution bumps and other extras.
I think the OS is the interesting part, so I bookmarked it. I have a Pi4 I could put it on.
I set up a Pi5 with Batocera recently. I haven’t messed with resolution scaling, but it can handle up to N64/Dreamcast/PSP just fine. It can even do some Gamecube and Wii at native resolution if you have dual core enabled. Not everything, but easier to emulate games like Kirby Air Ride and Luigi’s Mansion play just fine.
I thought the craziest thing about the book was that it explains all the inexplicable stuff in the movie and basically makes sense.
Looks like they're shilling some FOSS OS... not in the market but if anything I'd just pirate it.
How do you pirate a free OS?
Torrent it from an unofficial tracker while wearing a black hoodie
By not genuflecting to an icon of Richard Stallman before installing, maybe?
Great project. I've ended up buying some indie titles simply because they were compatible with Portmaster. I had no idea it worked for Raspberry pi.
They don’t advertise Pi compatibility for some reason, but I installed it the same way you do on a handheld and it just works. It makes certain games like the Mario 64 PC port easier because you no longer have to deal with installing the Raspberry Pi-specific version, just get the one from PM.
RPCS3 has 217 games in the "playable" list now, I had a blast playing the Dead Space games and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance again. Definitely worth a download for any of you who haven't tried it yet.
The Cell architecture is a PITA to emulate so it might take another several years or never before they fix MGS4, but it's easy to jailbreak an old PS3 if you want to go down that route.
PCSX2 is the best emulator I've ever seen and keeps getting better. I love how easily you can dial up the internal resolution and apply widescreen patches to get a better experience than the original hardware.
I’m fully convinced now that Nintendo believes old games poof out of existence when a new system comes out, and that taking down emulators and rom sites is a righteous crusade to maintain the balance of nature. It would explain everything they’re doing.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever read (today).
That’s another thing that irritates me, that old game collections used to have a lot more. Genesis collections in particular used to go all out, like the one on PSP having about 30 games, or the one on 360/PS3 having about 50. Or Animal Crossing, already a full game on its own, having ~20 unlockable NES games that you could also transfer to your GBA because they just thought it was cool. But at some point, companies realized “hey, we can abuse this and sell these old games for way more” even though the increasing ease of emulation means they should be going in the opposite direction.
Seriously, my reaction to this is like if someone you know who frequently says crazy shit was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Like “yeah, I guess that explains it”.
The Atari Flashback 2 (released in 2005) could be modded on a motherboard level to add cartridges. It was slightly smaller than the original but had 9-pin controller ports and RCA cables (only mono sound and video, which wasn't great but was fine for 2005 TVs and way easier, even now, than futzing around with a RF coaxial cable). It also worked on some sort of a system-on-a-chip design instead of some off-the-shelf ARM chip like the NES Classic Edition, the SNES Classic Edition, and PlayStation Classic did.
All Stars looks like a gross fan made asset flip remake, sorry to all pussies who need a battery save to beat SMB1-3 but I see no value in withholding the facts, the originals will always be the true versions
The Sega Ages (3DS/Switch) releases were quite baller despite selling the games individually... worth the individual purchase for true blue fans. The 360 era collections did have some emulation problems, but nowadays we usually get the worst of both worlds, with overpriced individual games that are also laggy and/or poorly emulated.
Sorry to bust your bubble but my uncle worked at Nintendo and said All Stars is the true version
