Fantastic writeup on the struggles of keeping a website afloat under the barrage of AI garbo-bots. It's a constant battle with psdevwiki and ConsoleMods.

Imagine paying $61,500 for a new "luxury" car and the brand is such a penny pincher that they try pushing ads to you.

No screen is safe In a gratuitous display of violation of consent, BMW forced their way into their driver's luxury vehicles to play an ad on their dashboards. That's not a dystopian nightmare – that's... #Enshittification #DigitalAutonomy #BryantReview gardinerbryant.com/no-screen-is...

Kamaitachi no Yoru is simply one of the most important Japanese games in history, period. In the historical trajectory of novel games, if Otogirisou, Chunsoft's previous gane, is Pac-Land, this is Super Mario Brothers. It is that foundational in the storytelling and design paradigms it codified.

1564 Studio@1564studio.bsky.social · 6d ago

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

I send books not on the internet archive to their book donation address because I think everyone deserves a chance to read something if they want to instead of reading it for myself then shredding it so nobody else can have it but me

The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.

I had no idea that BadUpdate doesn't work with the game rating restriction on (because RBB and THAW are rated T). That's a challenge waiting for someone to add support for an E rated game so people can use BadUpdate and my Parental Control Remover app to unlock their system!

By combining Microsoft's recently-released PC port of XeO3 with specific components of XWine1, SlimEra namely, it becomes possible to run dumped backwards-compatible Xbox 360 and Xbox Original games before they see an official PC release, with varying degrees of success

In other news, few days ago we made some progress with the Xbox One version of XeO3 ( 🔊 sound on ) With a PC port of XeO3 now available, this work is now deprioritized, but the information obtained from it will improve compatibility with other aspects of the console

Very curious if compatibility follows the community list for the same emulator on 360: consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox_36...

This is pretty nuts - Thanks to @anime0t4ku.bsky.social you can now boot games directly from original optical discs on many #MiSTerFPGA cores. Links and more info in the post: retrorgb.com/mister-boot-...

I am honored that @machonachomedia.bsky.social made a video on the RetroTap. Tito’s videos are always so well produced and edited. As mentioned in the video I’m currently targeting a Labor Day +/- release date. Watch Tito’s video here: youtu.be/CTvoIxZFq4A?...

A hidden terribleness about the AI translations of older games that keep popping up lately - in this case Tricolor Crise for the Dreamcast - is the way they knock the wind out of the sails of the people who are trying to actually do it properly. LLM version didn't even use the right character names.

Yuvi@yuvi.app · 4w ago

I have been working on this game with a real proper translation for quite some time now. This whole thing has just been a slap to my face for all the time and effort I've put into making something great for this great game. This person gives zero F's about this game; they just chose it because.

Love to see it
