I just would absolutely love to give a +1 for jo-engine. It’s an insanely strong dev kit for Saturn games with great built in features like tilemap support, basic collision detection; a sprite converter - and a handful of incredible tutor

But Amazon is one of the largest companies in the world - Crunchyroll has an excuse. Amazon doesn’t. My girlfriend’s smart TV runs WebOS and if we have to use Prime for some reason it’s easier to plug the laptop in via HDMI and do it via a

While this is great news; I unfortunately have to wonder how effective this is going to be. We need likely a much, much larger subset of farmers joining such a class action lawsuit - ideally from as many states as possible - to get this to

This is adorable. A little broken on my iPhone 8, but that’s to be expected; it’s meant to emulate a desktop experience.

But...that's just one more step of 'why', the next one after this is the one that doesn't have a good answer - so - kinda proving my point.

I actually still use a quad core G5 with 16GB(!) of RAM, and 2x1TB SSDs for some audio production work in Logic 9. 64-bit started for me back when the G5 came out, and today that G5 screams , easily feeling as responsive as my girlfriend’s

Unfortunately, again; my girlfriend purchased it for me months ago - it doesn’t appear to have any sort of branding on it, unfortunately. :( It looks like a very thin GBC with four buttons instead of two and two shoulder buttons, if that he

Which is pretty incredible, since Tiger was the first public version of OSX to have distros for both PPC and Intel! Tiger was solid - Leopard was where it was at. Snow Leopard may be my favourite, but as I can’t run it on any of my PPC syst

I don’t think I ever paid for a MacOS (OSX, at the time) upgrade. I still remember buying a RapidShare account for a month to get Snow Leopard off those multi-split files because I couldn’t find a torrent. The 00’s were such a different tim

For myself and many, many other homebrew developers, it has little to do with nostalgia, and much to do with learning and the forced limitations that come with the hardware. For someone like myself, and many other homebrew developers; it’s

While not quite as WYSIWYG, jo-engine for SEGA Saturn homebrew development has been a massive blessing to me, and I’m sure dozens of other Saturn enthusiasts as well: https://jo-engine.org Is anyone aware of such great homebrew

I’ve basically stopped at my SEGA Saturn, gaming tech wise. I used to carry a Game Boy Color from about when I was 20 to when I was 26. Recently, my girlfriend gave me some weird crummy little NES/GBC emulator device from AliBaba and I

I love the idea that Hackers is actually self-aware, but I think it’s more of a ‘The Room’ situation; where retroactively we can view it as a comedy and find some appreciation for an otherwise almost inexcusably awful piece of film. I would

I think Macintosh Repository does the same thing, just trying to avoid any legal issues by posting mostly abandonware. That being said; there’s a lot of commercial software there.

It’s a shame the proprietary nature of the Dreamcast’s GD-ROMs makes it impractical for us to actually have a disc-based solution for Dreamcast support with official games. As far as I can see, there’s no real solution to this?

Is there any reason you can't just use PCSX2? It works on my 2012 MacBook Pro...it should work on any fairly recent hardware with zero fuss... https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Native-Mac-Testing-Build

Many major open-source projects actually have commercial contributors who actually see the value in the software. Of course, many; many do not - but I’m seeing it happen a lot more often these days, which is nice. :)
