Meanwhile, the open source custom firmware OM64 for ModRetro M64 now also has support for SNES, Playstation, and Neo Geo. Apparently, CD drive support for Playstation is upcoming.
BTW, the ModRetro M64 has just received its open source new OS called OM64 by an independent user, ahead of ModRetro releasing all the open source documentation. Game Boy and SNES are supported at the moment, but the goal is to add all Mister cores up to, but not including, Dreamcast.
I hope "Metal Slug Location Test Build", the original unreleased Metal Slug, finds its way to both Evercade and the Neo Geo. It's in the upcoming "Ultimate Collection", after all.
@Martin_H the only reason Ron Gilbert continued the story from the second game is because he was only involved in the first two games, not because 3 and 4 are bad games. Escape did get a lot of flak, but I never hear people speak badly about Curse.
(And while I did play Escape on PC and enjoyed it because of the humor, I did hate the controls but supposedly the PS2 version plays way better so if I ever replay it, that's the one I'll play.)
I feel like the developers behind projects like these are fully aware they won't be able to release a complete project, and their sole ambition is to become famous and get to work on a real project because I don't understand why they wouldn't just work on it in secret and release it as a fait accompli.
@Sketcz thanks! I'll give it a consideration. I realize you can't make a book tailored to my tastes, but I do have to say that games like Sega Rally, Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter, and Ridge Racer are worthy entries for such a prominent list.
Cool project. Unfortunately for me, it looks like it's mainly about the first ten years of that period, which is the least interesting period (again, for me).
@Ruka this show ignores the Xbox because it isn't Japanese, plain and simple. The OG Xbox had many great and interesting exclusives that they will ignore because of their ultra-nationalist sentiment, ironically many of which was Japanese, like Panzer Dragoon Orta, Crazy Taxi 3, Gunvalkyrie and JSRF, but also games like KotOR 1 and 2, and Halo.
I hate AI as much as the next guy, but these "this fanmade project uses AI" articles on TE are getting tiresome, I feel like every other article is like this.
@Ruka yes, I recently ordered the M64. Look, it's fine if you want to buy the AES+, it's the hypocrisy behind Time Extension's boycott of ModRetro while openly promoting a product of an actual oppressive dictatorship I don't like.

Re: Atari Is Officially Pulling Support for the Atari VCS
It looks pretty sweet to be honest, if they'll offer these on clearance for a decent price I might pick one up and hope for an unlocked new OS for it.
Re: Namco's F1-Themed 3D Racer 'Ace Driver Victory Lap' Is Making Its Debut On Consoles, After Almost 30 Years

I will personally fund a port of Mario 64 for the Game.com.
Re: ScummVM Now Supports FTL's Legendary 1987 Adventure Dungeon Master
@metaphysician looks like the latter, which is, in my opinion, an unwanted development.

@Ruka buy this and money goes to Saudi Arabia, a horribly repressive regime. I don't care what factory makes them.

@Ruka SNK is Saudi
Re: Don't Worry, The Neo Geo AES+ Hasn't Been Delayed
So I guess we're giving the oppressing Saudi regime a pass when it comes to video games?
But ModRetro is still in the doghouse?
