On the other hand Spanish trains don't need women only cars due to the massive amount of dirty chikan ojaji (old guys that love groping women, even underage schoolgirls). Japan is not a paradise either.

I have been living in the inaka for 8 years now and I always laugh at this kind of articles. They only focus on the core areas of Tokyo, Osaka, and a few big others cities, and forget to mention that outside of those areas the whole country

IANAL, but my understanding is that whatever patents and industrial design rights Nintendo had on the N64 expired long ago, so replicating N64 hardware is perfectly legal as long as you don't use the original logos and trademarks.

Time will tell, but I don't think big enough FPGAs will be affordable any time soon. And in any case, software emulation is already incredibly advanced, with emulators like Dolphin and PCSX2 arguably being superior to original hardware

The MiSTer is already struggling to fit the N64 core, and the GameCube is more than 10 times more complex than the N64. Just the CPU cache and the GPU embedded RAM would be prohibitively expensive to implement on an FPGA, it would require o

This. My old GameCube is already broken, the optical drive decided to die. Fortunately some Swiss magic still allows it to run games, otherwise it would just be an expensive paperweight.

You didn't understand my point... Closed platforms like consoles are at the mercy of their manufacturers. If you want consumer rights, stick to open platforms like the PC.

Graphical adventure games were already dead before the Xbox even arrived, and besides that the first Xbox was not that popular outside North America so it could not have affected other regions.

You don't double integrate, period. You essentially have three options: 1) An absolute positioning system like GPS. 2) A visual positioning system like fiducial markers or SLAM. 3) Something that can measure linear speed and then you i

12 years ago I had to write the firmware for an IMU. It took me some real effort to convince my bosses that double integration was, for all practical purposes, impossible. I wish I had known about this video back then... IMU are very useful

Yes they are. Every time I visit Tokyo I try to avoid Shinjuku because it is extremely confusing and I always get lost. Signs are mostly useful for people who are new to a place, if you need a significant amount of time to familiarize yours

41 years old Spanish guy here, Machiavelli was definitely NOT in our required reading list, at least not back in my day.

I always though that the audio mix happened in the 32X itself, much like the video mix, but I just checked the schematics and you are right (page 7 of https://segaretro.org/File:Genesis32XUSManual.pdf ) I have a Japanese 32X
