Hacks, Hardware & Emulation, Oh My

Using the latest OPL it mostly “just works”. Occasionally it doesn’t detect the card, you just unplug and it plug it back in and you’re off to the races.

PSIO UPDATE! Finally their first update in like 4 years or something crazy which has caused enormous drama over the years. It’s been released. It’s real. Of course I’m currently also on my first trip away from my pc in over 5 years as well, so I’m just dropping this here for the other PSIO user on this forum and to kind of check in with y’all. I was just scrolling X today when I saw it. Hope it’s great!

This is unexpected

(iOS App Store chart may 16, 2024)

I wish the experience of getting a roms folder to an AppleTV was better.

Is getting roms set up complicated? I was planning on messing with the tv app tomorrow.

Their website is AWFUL. I don’t know how to get to the firmware download anymore or how to create an account. God do I hope someone still makes a cfw for this thing. Buying it should have been the only hoop I need to jump through. There’s a transfer ownership feature on their site too—as if that was worth diverting development hours away from making games work on your flash cart. Once again reminded why everyone hates these secretive, miserly dipshits.

Yeah what you said is the consensus almost verbatim. I’ll get around to DL the FW eventually.

Meant to follow up on this and show the evolution of the prototypes

we’re getting closer! It’s also become an offical VGNY skunkworks project

I just started Majoras Mask using the N64Recomp tool and it is incredible! If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a go. And if you have, any idea how to make the right C button work properly on the Switch N64 controller? I can’t get it to work as anything except the menu button and while I set it up as ZR, it’s so close but if that’s the only problem I am having with it, I am a happy bunny. Well Deku scrub as I only just started it!!

That’s so cool! I’m used to projects like this being Windows only so this is very exciting.

They updated the Zelda64Recomp tool to V1.1.0 and it has button mapping, amongst many other things. It works perfectly on the N64 Switch controller now, so I recommend this even more than I did before, which was a lot!

It’s a great time to be playing N64 games not emulated, but full blown PC (And Mac) ports!

Excuse me while I work out what the hell is actually going on this game…

GB mods from GB discord




This mod is using the same screen from Playdate. Nice 1bit shading.

For a second there I thought the last one was a Wonderswan modded into a DMG!!!

Also who is that character on the SP?

I don’t know who that is but I guess she’s notable enough to get nendoroided. That type of mods look so nice.

I learned about this amazing Tetris clone Apotris today courtesy of this Mastodon post:

The content warning is regarding the new FPGA handheld that permanent loser tech-bro Lucky Palmer is somehow behind. You already know he’s a bad dude. The rest of the post is about sick Tetris alternatives and romhacks.

Folks, I don’t even especially like Tetris. It’s not in my top 5 falling block games. But this game rules. Go play it.
