Woah I was really excited but I can't see any difference between this and running it on Emu. Even still has the poly wobble.

CEX prices are all over the shop.

Absolutely battered copies of retro games at MINT prices.

When you don't think your own product is worth buying, you gotta get creative 😂

@La5734 My town got a new high street and shopping centre (entirely owned offshore of course). Our only local games shop tried to renew their lease but were actually denied by the landlord.

They don't even want the indies around. All the indies exist around the perimeter in property not owned by the corp. All they want is beige chains. And now they are desperately seeking a buyer.

Just another case of sociopathic, sycophantic parasites that leech communities and pass the blame when their idiotic ideas fail.

@NinChocolate Our entire lives have been squeezed so others can get rich. A cross between Black Mirror, Cyberpunk , and Ready Player One is what awaits us all....

@HoyeBoye if you want to do motion capture on the cheap then a second hand 2nd gen kinect is one of the only options.

The other option is using a second hand iPhone (one with the face capture cam) as it's supported by Unreal Engine.

@slider1983 haha yep, fair enough. It's tough. Being poor helps haha.

@slider1983 Yeah I already admitted it's almost impossible to live in the modern world 100% ethically. The only option is off grid and some countries make it almost impossible as unlike places like Norway, they don't have a law that allows anyone to live in the wilderness. It's incredibly difficult financially.

Windows 10 came out in 2015 when my CPU was only a few years old. I'm running a stolen copy of that and soon I will be moving entirely to a Linux build with a stolen copy of windows 11 on dual boot for the incredibly rare moments I may need to use it.

I was running games like the last Devil May Cry on an Nvidia 980 I think it was? Might have the model wrong. Barely turn the thing on anymore. Last game I played was Monster Hunter 2 on Emulator last year. And at the moment I'm watching Kaiju movies from the 60s haha.

I don't really see anything new in modern gaming except scale and graphics. Mechanically it's the same or even sometimes less interesting than older games.

@slider1983 correct. Obviously modern necessity means you can't avoid it entirely. I have to have a phone for work and productivity. But I sacrifice playing new games and new hardware. It was really hard at first tbh and I was kinda depressed about it for a while but it got easier.

@firenze @slider1983 I don't buy any of those products. I'm almost completely done with games unless it's indie. I keep my spending on unethical hardware to a bare minimum (my PC is 14 years old, I still use a Pixel4a, I cycle don't drive, buy second hand clothes) Surprise! I actually do have morals I follow through on haha

(Edited to remove snide remarks haha)

So sad that being owned by human rights criminals isn't a problem but having Ronaldo in it is where some people draw the line. The human race really is despicable.

Company is owned by a known murderer and torturer. Will never buy a single thing they ever make.

This is a pretty exciting development! Maybe kne day then game will be complete.

Now let's try and find those Zelda 64 prototypes haha.

Didn't they just say they were going to stop all shipments to the US?

@Lowdefal makes sense to me. The world of modding and programming is filled with insane petty ego disputes 🤣

As Hans Teeuwan once said "Don't think so complicated."

Not sure I trust it. Now if the owner could show up on video driving a Ferrari and smoking cigars then maybe they'd have my money...

@retrogamer1 This is how I feel. Not protecting your customers before investigating is poor service in my opinion.

@axelhander This is more common than you may think in Japan, with games and anime adapted for the stage. There's things like Hunter x Hunter musicals 😂

@profkross Their responses take about 5 seconds to write. I'm sure he doesn't care about his reputation. This is the easiest tens of thousands of Euros I can possibly imagine making. If I had no morals I would do it in a heartbeat over working a job for 2 years 😂

Yeah a guy who's made videos in a completely threadbare apartment somewhere in Spain definitely didn't just rent/borrow a Lambo like all those YouTube scammers renting private jets for 20 mins to make them look legit 😂

I think you need to amend the title to "a Lamborghini" haha

I guess the consolation is that only 200 out of the entire population of the internet are mugs 😂

@LiquidSevens Wow, those translations are terrible.

Just saw VideoGameEsoterica's video on it and apparently it says when you preorder it you agree to them charging your card the full amount at any time. So there's the scam.

@AJB83 everything since maybe RE3 has been total dross. Clearly his MO is "Find funding from anywhere, don't care, ***** out a movie and funnel half of it into my wife's paycheque." He's gone beyond bad-good into just basically a money laundering thing. I could pull a better script out my arse.

So they actually just admitted their last video was faked 😂 Grab the popcorn indeed!

@UK_Kev

Here's the story I've written.

The guy in charge is an eccentric Sega fan (is there any other kind?) from a rural town in Spain. I think although he knows it's a scam, he's convinced himself what he's doing is ok. Maybe he's even lied to himself so much he's convinced himself he'll actually end up making the device and it's all just proof of concept so far and that eventually he'll actually make it.

Either that or he is so naive (like a lot of scammers) that he thinks he'll genuinely get away with a big score, and he's promised his friends, the others involved, of a huge payout.

What an A-hole. But this world is built for people like him so I guess he'll be alright. I wish someone with the clout and determination like GamersNexus would run this story and build some momentum and pressure.

@slider1983 the current guess is that he's running a customised software emulation frontend on the sly.

Other evidence I have seen or seen commented elsewhere:

• There is a lack of tracers coming from the HDMI port and other components. Implying those components are not even connected. People claiming to be engineers online have said while the HDMI port has a very low chance of having a rare configuration, other components and tracers are missing elsewhere that makes it undeniable the thing isn't actually operating.
• You can see it plugged in to mains but you can't see what's behind the TV and he doesn't show the video line traced all the way into the TV.
• when he plugs in a cartridge you can hear a mouse clicking. This could be someone off camera activating the bit that says "cart in"
• The video cuts on bootup in the first video
• The input lag. FPGA isn't supposed to have input lag. Of course if he's making these cores himself there could be issues there but the input lag is consistent with something like a Raspberry Pi Nano's emulator performance.
• At one point in the video the fan is still running with the power switched turned to the off position.

Who knows, they could be some rare messy genius that will prove us all wrong. But there's far too many red flags people have pointed out to treat this with any kind of excitement except to see whether a load of people lose their money.

@slider1983 other people that know way more than me have seen it and said that the board doesn't even have the right capacitors on it. As in, it's a blank board they bought online and made it look like they're working on something. Apparently they have a no refund policy too. Scam all the way

Clickbait article, this isn't about Burnout 2! 😜

As far as I understand it, the Sinden still has more lag than the original lightguns. So I'm interested to see how this pans out.

Although these things are still niche, the ever growing prevalence of cannibalisation seems at odds with how strongly people say they feel about preservation.

Although I know some people try to cannibalise irreparable items.

I'd hate to be friends with one of these people. Everything anyone said would have some kind of hidden trasngressional meaning.

Also, what wrong with Dhalsim being so devout that he wears skulls? Boy I'd sure prefer to play as an IT Engineer from Dheli, that'd be sooooo cooooool 🤣

Or wait... Is that offensive too? Perhaps the only acceptable representation is one that completely confounds expectations? Until that becomes the status quo? I dunno, these mental gymnastics are exhausting.

@Scollurio while I agree to an extent, it's also a bit more complex. Most of us if we're around 35 still feel what it's like the have a singular narrative via television and the charts etc. Now you have to look elsewhere online to find many trends all going on at the same time. Maybe the mainstream seems stagnat, because they always have leeched off real people living real lives.

Throughout gaming history there has been creative people battling against corporate interests. Sometimes both sides stood to learn a lesson.

If you feel dissatisfied now ask yourself what you are expecting from those People, what stories can they tell you. Are they worthwhile? Do you feel enriched? Evaluate what you get out of it Vs what you put in. Is it really worth the stress? Maybe it would just be better to muck around with a few friends and forget the fact that you have to work tomorrow.

But it's basically not a DC VMU but a completely different thing that happens to look and function like one also.

@Poodlestargenerica but historically materialism has been an idea that your worth is based on the items you posses,.

This new wave of physical applications is just the joy of physicality and the tactile.

For a lot of people, touch is very important. It grounds them to reality and enhances their experiences.

So I think you're conflating two things.

I'm more offended by the games Title and text which is about as inspired as AI. Maybe they're going for the "NES bootleg" feel.

Get ready for the Fighting Game bubble to burst. It's already a niche and there's now tons of them, including indie titles. No way to stretch the player base that thin.

Once again, the normies ruin everything.
