@Thad Barks should've done what Don Rosa did later with Scrooge McDuck and hide stuff (D.U.C.K sounds cool, wonder if it has been done before) around as a signature.

The music in the trailer is awesome and makes we want to play to game.

@Thad I think it's part of the marketing : "if you're not with us, you're a loser".
So if you try to bully people who.... oppose the group you want to join, you're proving you're loyalty, and that you're hip and cool.

Why generate a crappy "video" to promote your creation? They always look bad, like there's a distinct filter on the image.

@Thad
We could talk about the word but the idea behind is to be insulting, bully people into using the useless stuff they're using, and feel superior to someone.

@WesCopeland LLMs usage by professional might to be that high : https://hermit-tech.com/blog/ai-mania-is-eviscerating-global-decisionmaking?utm_campaign=cory-doctorow-the-people-who-tell-you-ai-is-changing-everything-are-lying

@RootsGenoa Because if you say that you don't need LLMs, or worse, that they are not amazballs, you're a Luditte.
Or you can, maybe, even be fired from your job : https://www.thenerve.news/p/cory-doctorow-ai-business-incentive-to-lie-useless-chatbots-report-nikhil-suresh
Oh, and maybe it's time for a vegan and peace-focus retro game!

@PolterGhost When, not if, things go wrong with vibe-coded slop, the prompter won't solve it, they don't even know how to do it (no one really can fix slop anyway.)
If they could, they would have done the work themselves.

In a better world, some random person wouldn't have had to spend $900 to do it, Square would have preserved the game themselves.

@no_donatello That's likely already happening.

"I have no idea how it works, I can't review the code, or fix any issues with it. Absolute success in my opinion."

@TinPlanetRobot It's especially enraging/funny when you know that even Analogue, a long time ago that is, thanked emulator devs because they wouldn't exist without them.

@Thad I completely agree on the quality of the..."port". But it seems to me that a lot of the complaints in the FPGA community are not about the LLM part but about using MAME.

LLM generated anything is always low quality slop that shouldn't exist.
But in this case, it useful for one thing : showing FPGA bro's ignorance.

MAME's goal is to be as accurate as possible. Some "cores" were made by destroying boards to make sure the emulation was accurate.
It can be said with 100% certainty that at least some, if not all, arcade cores on Mister were made using MAME's team's research.
MAME exists solely to preserve those cabinets and attacking, even indirectly, MAME's accuracy is just insulting to game preservation.
But some of the blame rests on crappy (and some times downright illegal) MAME forks, like in Retro arch, that are in no way as good as the original.

@Moroboshi876 on the 360 it does indeed. On the Serie X/S you need Dev mode, which is just a setting/software on your console.

@Thad That article is clearly biased against LLMs, a LLM would never write something like that, we can't deny LLMs are superior anymore.
(BTW, your personal website has some nice stuff if I might say so.)

@Thad You could train LLM on LLM, since they're so reliable and unbiased!

Asteroids was already turned into a 10 minutes plot point in an episode of Stargate Atlantis, that was more than enough.

LLMs are as biased as the training data used. Since all the sets used so far have some biases, every single LLM available today has biases.
But unlike people, they can't think and say "I will try to be more neutral".
Do people try to avoid their own biases? Not necessarily obviously but they do have the ability to do it.
And at least human biases are kinda consistent, therefore easier to discern.

@ThisIsPete It's always the same, it's almost like AI Bros use LLM to write their comments (which has actually happened on here.)

I want to read human-made (or any other conscious being really) articles and books.
And listen to human-made music.
And watch human-made shows.
And play human-made games.

But I know that it five minutes someone will comment "I don't care if it's made by a LLM" and that makes me sad and scared for the future.

Art is already lost in a sea of easily forgettable and meaningless entertainment (don't get me wrong, entertainment is nice and should be enjoyed but not at the expense of something else) and LLMs are making it even worse.
And the same can be said about reliable information. We give a platform to everyone as if everything should be shouted on every street corner (no, your flat earther opinion doesn't have the same value as millenia of scientific researches) and now, we even have unreliable software publishing, pretty much automatically, unreliable things that get picked up by other softwares and put up on the front page of the most visited websites on the planet with no safeguard or verifications.

In the immortal words of Rupert Giles, "the earth is doomed".

@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.

@StyrofoamCup If you've never heard it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO6JiFztJdg
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.
