With my python 1 emulator launching soon, I need to test new titles to improve it. As part of that, we need cleaner dumps than what is indexed today. So here's a new P1 dumping tool for real hardware. Just need a sd2psx and usb drive I call it "Snake Charmer" Reach out if interested in testing!

More and more devices getting stubbed out and now I'm stuck on a "I'm connected!" screen 🫠 The game is very picky about the device state, so far I've had to stub the following all under one firewire cable: HDD CD Drive CF Card card reader BBSRAM 2 DALLAS dongles JVS control ethernet

The next release of my Bug!er-Up patcher will still support Bug! and Bug! Too, but also add support for Baku Baku Animal, Comix Zone, Ecco the Dolphin, and Panzer Dragoon. Why? I genuinely have no idea. At least I’m limiting myself to “SEGA PC” titles. Anything beyond that would be pure madness.

Big 🧵time! Lets talk about my new friend, the Konami Python. It's kinda the odd duck of the family. The middle child between the Konami Viper and the Konami Python 2. The system was a short lived platform.

We appreciate we've not announced anything in quite some time, so we'd like to share our current development progress. Our main focus has been getting EA's online services working so we can restore Xbox Live functionality in EA titles. Here's where things stand right now: (1/6)

MegaLD support in ares has been brewing for a while; I built a skeleton that could run the bios a long while back; Nemesis then took over and fixed the rest, and did an excellent job too! This will be upstreamed after we’ve ironed out some details; the dump format used is not final and may change.

First screenshots of the first ever Pioneer LaserActive emulator, courtesy of Nemesis running as part of Ares. Major preservation milestone right here.
