Pity you didn’t learn the last time you were banned for spamming your channel over a bunch of comms.

Nice work. I personally think the preservation of games is important and should include OSTs, even if it's an 8-bit version.

I found a video of Ocarina of Time on their youtube https://youtu.be/v8Wk0iCZDgw?t=2639

Many games support 480p output, which requires vga or component. Those that do look very nice in the higher resolution, but with component you need to double check that the cable itself and TV both support 480p. Most PVMs don't.

240p/480i over s-video still looks great though, especially on a CRT. In my opinion, component doesn't look much better than s-video at 240p/480i, so i'd only upgrade if that also gets you 480p.

VGA adapter is a good no-mod option. There are HDMI solutions out there now, though.

House of the Dead 2 was one of the first games I had on Dreamcast, it was fucking great!

I was a huge fan of light gun games back in the day so this is very cool! (but I wish these mods were more affordable)

It's mostly a single player game for me too but back in the day the online play was something special.

"Nah it doesn't need a DVD drive, it's not like people would buy a game console to use as a DVD player anyway"

It's funny, I absolutely adore this game (Cube version is all time top 5 for me), but the online functionality is only a side feature to me. What really makes it shine is how beautifully it works offline, the fantastic balance of rare drop rates, character growth, levels that are just fun and varied enough to play ad-nauseum.

Sure, being able to play multiplayer (online or off) is a critical feature, but it really clicked for me to be able to play single-player to prep for multiplayer later.

I think it's the context in which I engaged with it. Saw it in action online on my brother's DC first, and was hooked on the idea. When I first played it myself a bit later, I had no idea what was going on. By the time I really 'got' it, the Xbox Lives and MMOs of the world were coming into their own. We were shifting into online as the norm, and PSO not forcing it (on the Cube at least) was really gratifying for me. That, and I was a kid without a credit card, so getting a sub was an obstacle.

Amazing work as always.

legendary game, something about the rhythm and pacing of the combat and item discovery, and of course the soundtrack is amazing

I think I've played it on all platforms: Dreamcast, GameCube, Xbox, PC (both v2 and Blue Burst)

Surely this led to future success? Right?

Thanks and welcome. There is almost zero mod work but having someone else here is great.

I can do it, I'm always on Lemmy anyways so I can handle reports easily. I'm not a huge expert on the Dreamcast catalog but I'm a fan

Toy commander was just pure joy back in the day.

Toy Commander demo with Father Christmas jetpack was the best. Might have to give it a go after all these years :)

User agents are a mess that is half blatant lies on a good day. Blame early browsers (*cough* Internet Explorer *cough*) for being outdated or not standards compliant, so websites started serving different code based on reported user agent, leading browsers to start adding random crap to their user string to fool sites into giving them the right code so they'd work properly.

I had this in my signatures. Those were the fun days.

Any site that let you set a forum signature. It didn't really tell the person who had it what your IP is but it'd be a little emoji guy holding a sign that says like "I see you! Your IP is so and so on browser in country"

I think he meant forum signature. Some of them used to allow dynamic ones.

So install an extension that masks your user agent

old form signature that would show what your IP is and stuff

Wait, where was this? I'm drawing a blank.

Call me crazy but I think that computers volunteer way too much fuggin information when connecting to websites. User agents as we know them shouldn't exist, the website should have no DAMN clue what kind of device I'm using.

I've always been creeped out by stuff like that old form signature that would show what your IP is and stuff, i always hated how the facepunch forum would expose your OS for no real reason and you cant choose not to display it.

Neat. I had an aunt that used WebTV.

Personally I never got to experience the internet from a 480i CRT myself, because my family always had a PC growing up. Closest I ever got was connecting my PSP to wifi back in the day. But then I got a smartphone shortly after and the rest is history.
