Erm, not they don't!
"If you try running them on an Everdrive or something they might not work"

Unless autodetect isn't working as advertised this isn't the issue.

Where?
"I don't think he's ever actually explained WHAT didn't work."
Erm, yes I did. Did Kevtris even bother to read my post??? π
"So he's going based on the launch firmware? Yeah if you never updated it, there will be bugs."
Latest version is 4.9 which I have. Unless there's some hidden further update that's not on the official Analogue website I have the most up to date one.
"This is straight from the person you are harassing:"
Harassing who? For him not doing his job because he spends his time on a harassment and shaming Discord server? To be clear Kevtris can go to whatever troll harassment Discord server he wants to regardless of my complaining. However, when the product he engineered isn't doing what it's supposed to do fully BECAUSE he spends his time on troll harassment Discord server then he's open to valid criticism.
100% compatibility for Mega SG? Calling BS on this. Codemasters Master System games don't work because Kevtris is busy on the anti-Amico Discord instead of doing his job. π
Yeah, there was no way they would have been able to include those backgrounds on the Amiga release, especially if they were going to scroll. Way too difficult at the time. This is cool though. π
Anyway this is sad to hear. The sadness is that the Zool release was very good apart from the missing coin. Talk about throwing out goodwill. Speaking of the coin I do hope they send it.
@h3s It's an odd choice as the Mega Drive re-release is edited as well.
@tektite_captain Zool was unknown and mediocre? What planet are you living on??? π
@Damo I don't tend to stick to a website based on my opinions but more my interests. All the AI articles will no doubt increase here as more projects use Gen AI but apart from that this website puts out a lot of interesting articles otherwise I wouldn't spam post MobyGames Discord with them. πI can't imagine going to different websites just because I disagree about AI and neither should you, differing opinions should be welcome. π
@Damo Regulations are needed. People won't stop using Gen-AI so don't expect that to happen.
@Scollurio "the whole entertainment industry and software industry is creatively bankrupt and managed to run itself into the ground just fine even without AI.
A common argument is "AI can just remix exiting stuff but not create new things." - I don't see how this differs to 90% of all things in a saturated end-stage society like ours."
@Damo There's nothing wrong with questioning this technology but I'd see the problems more from a business point of view. I just find this tech announcement unnecessary and I don't feel the platform has legs considering the AI tools exist elsewhere to do what they want to do.
From a creative point of view I always go back to needing regulation laws.
Well as an apparent VIP on Antstream this doesn't interest me a whole lot. If the tools to do this exist elsewhere people might not buy into this service. I personally think Antstream should stick to games. They've done a lot of good already. This seems unnecessary.
@DeciderVT Antstream is a good platform.
@jojobar If the tools already exist elsewhere it might.
@gojiguy Preaching to the choir.
@Damo "If you subscribe to Antstream, you're supporting this."
Yahooo! πYet TE supports SNK while saying they don't support Mod Retro. Makes sense... π€¦ββοΈ
I'm always surprised the DS was successful compared to the PSP. The DS was just so confusing and gimmicky. I just want to play my games, I don't need two screens! π€¦ββοΈ
He's really done a lot with this game so that's cool but I wonder how much more he can add to a game that was built around the original movie. Some of his hacks aren't great as well. The original Batman Forever is far superior to his hack which at best solves the difficulty issue.
@h3s Great first film to watch in the cinema. π
@Damo I think it's a bit more than that and the person below you is stating some of my view on the subject as well. I obviously cannot change your mind but it would be wrong for me not to point out why AI is not the major issue you're worried about. Not everyone is anti-AI either here or outside generally.
@Damo Literally if you list the amount of pro and anti AI people in the comments of these articles you get around the same amount. No AI math needed. π
@EarthboundBenjy From what I've seen I have to disagree. Gameplay was fast paced and you got to create a custom character. It doesn't play great but not sure I could call it horrible.

Essentially this is a port of the Game Gear release from 1994. Looks cool although I'm holding out for a complete collection for PC.
