@murty the Xbox 360 should be able to make DRM-free backups with Aurora launched through abadavatar.

@crimcram Except that many (how many is hard to know) people are praising the LLL translation, saying it's good enough, and at least they can experience the game (even though it's not really experiencing the work as indented) and many more won't even know they're playing a badly done translation.
I get why it's getting to the translation teams.

@Quick_Man Bad example, I've been trying to play guitar for almost 20 years, no matter the amount of time and effort I put in, I still can't play.

"you need to put the time and effort into it"
See, that's the issue right there, we don't want to do any work, we only want the credit and fame.

The only right way to have light on a DMG is to add an hungry for battery light/magnifying glass on top of it, anything else is blasphemy.

"audiophile-grade"
That alone should be enough to push people away.

@Right_Said_Brett Can untalented but ethically minded people stay?

@Bod2019 Don't you worry about that, LLM are great and whatever comes out of them is amazing.

"Stop with that fearmongering!
It's just like someone being inspired by someone else!

Sure it's pretty much a copy of another person's creation. And it's not original at all. And it's because of how the software works. And it has nothing in common with inspiration.

But it's fearmongering because of...reasons!
The genie is out anyway."

• AI Bros after they read the article.

I worked for Lenovo for a year (in Europe, PC division), knowing how they operate, it's 100% sure they knew and didn't care about it until they got bad PR and the fear of being sued by a bigger company.

@Uberfish EULA's can't infringe on your rights (maybe in the US but not in the EU for example.)
You can make a backup of your games, you can't share them and in some countries, you can't break DRM/copy protection to do it.

And bonus because Key & Peele will always be awesome and relevant : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g-s-pghtYQ

I pity the fool who doesn't release a new emulation minicomputer using that trademark.
Too easy?

@Prollo In DSi mode, the limit is 40 but YANBF (if it still works) goes all the way to 300.
But clearly, it can be useful for some people/situations.

Just FYI, RMG-K is a vibe coded fork of RMG, using Kaillera while RMG has a more modern netplay code (but no rollback.)

@Martin_H @Broosh @Prollo on 3DS, you don't need to use twilight Menu, you can use NDS forwarder.
The DSPico is still useful for quickly trying new games though.

If Data from Star Trek or a Replicator from Stargate wrote code, that would be AI coded and it would be good code.
LLM are not AI, they're just text prediction softwares, that's why they're not reliable and shouldn't be used for anything serious.

It's interesting how the most aggressive and borderline insulting people here are the AI-bro. Wonder if there's a link.

@datamonkey I'm playing A Link Between Worlds for the first time and I don't get why they didn't use the engine to remake ALTTP.
Not that it needs a remake, just surprised.

This article and the comments confirme two things :

GenAI shouldn't exist.
Sexism is alive and well.

@AlleyCat I'd say code quality and the use of code without respect for the licenses are the biggest issues.

"Even though we've got a lovely OG Neo Geo AES in the Hookshot Media office"

Next week : "we used to have a Neo Geo"

So exactly like Microsoft and PC makers then?

Both Higan and BSNES are still being worked (not much on Higan though) on and have different goals, Higan being as accurate as possible and BSNES being accurate but usable on less powerful hardware.
But don't forget Ares, the multi emulator also started by Near and kinda in between Higan and BSNES when it comes to the SNES core.

@smoreon Exactly! And we could have an optional hard mode : finish the first level without getting high on mushrooms or without killing a single enemy.

Why can't the challenge be easy instead of challenging? You know, like "can you finish the first level of Super Mario Bros" or "can you complete a line in Tetris".
You know, easy tasks.

@FraserG While it's very different now, let's not forget that in the 90's and early 2000's, EA released great games.

@h3s MTK's lack of drivers support is such a sad thing. Their CPU are great, as powerful (or even more sometimes) as Qualcomm's but there's basically no way to use them at their maximum, even on Android.

@winstonsmith Disco train deserves a spot on the list too.

@brakeman90
I have a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. I haven't had any GC/Wii or Saturn game that wouldn't work flawlessly.
Ps2 emulation is slightly less good on Android but the majority of titles are emulated. I remember reading that AetherSX2's compatibility was around 75%.

While the horror theme doesn't really makes me want to play the game, the gameplay seems interesting.

Dolphin's passthrough is great if you have a compatible BT adapter.
You get to play Wii in high res with motion control.

@JackGYarwood An update has been released and compatibility with the RP4P should be restored.

@ludotaku

If memory serves, some texts were not even translated in the French language version.

@JayJ
Ps2 and GameCube (especially) emulation has been very good on Android for years. I'm currently playing Rogue Galaxy on my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and have finished a couple GC/Wii games on it for example.

@romanista
Since Robert Broglia ported Mednaffen's Saturn core to Android (in Saturn.emu), even midrange CPU can emulate the Saturn quite well.

Ah yes, 350€, clearly budget friendly.

"the controversial heavy metal group Body Count"

You mean awesome metal band.

The good old days when genocide, human rights, respecting the Geneva convention, etc. were not political opinions but questions of morality.
I miss those days.
I remember when kids had to meet survivors from the camps and it wasn't called "pushing an agenda" but simply making sure history wouldn't repeat itself.
When art in all its forms, from painting to music or from movies to video games, was about sharing thoughts and opinions without people screaming "keep that away from me".
Or when refusing to support companies on the side of fascist, irredeemable evil governments was not controversial.

@PKDuckman They still make some money with OEM licences (directly and indirectly) and (a lot more) with professional licences.

@Sketcz
I think Microsoft goals and decisions can be summed up in two words and a letter : as a service.
Game pass, Office 365, even Windows is getting there.

@Bizzy

Every community will turn toxic when it gets big enough, I don't know how that can be avoided.

A fear mongering article against NFT! Shame
/S (I have to use uppercase to be sure everyone understands I'm joking)

The bourgeois collecting is a virus on the hard drive of the old school gamer!
(My current Futurama rewatch might have influenced this post.)

@Damo The threat of generative "AI" is not limited to journalism or anything really, it's everywhere and everyone should talk about it, whether you're a gaming journalist or someone with a blog about knitting.

I got both my N3DS and my Switch in 2017. Yet, I've played a lot more with the N3DS than the Switch. While it's not the popular opinion, I consider the (N)3DS the last great Nintendo console. It might change one day but the Switch and Switch 2 are nowhere near as good, for me at least (but I completely respect your opinion if you disagree.) So I'm not surprised by those prices.

@GravyThief

Yes you can play VB on the N3DS and it is awesome.

FYI Exult is also available on Linux, no precompiled binaries are released that's all.

All those optimizations and they still ended up wasted.

@avcrypt Analogue used Near's research (Higan/Bsnes/Ares original dev) too, which is not surprising since they were incredible knowledgeable and talented. And they were behind the MSU-1, the custom extension chip for the SNES.
