I spend a lot of time every day troubleshooting and tweaking my mod list. Sometimes I’ll think about it while I go to sleep and I’ll have a solution when I wake up! It is one of the few tasks I can concentrate on for long periods of time. Playing the game might actually happen soon!
I always wondered if there are professionals who do this sort of program-fixing in their work, and I would love to find such an environment.
Thank you Atticus, please keep up the great posts!
I‘ve been doing programming as a hobby for years and I am pursuing it as a career. Sleeping on a problem has become one of the best tools in my toolbox. I would not be surprised if there are professionals who do the same thing in their work. Thanks for the support btw! I enjoy sharing these with everyone
Right on the front of the console, with the red banding. The system didn’t come with it. It was only needed for one game (DKC64), which it came bundled with.
I really wish old consoles didn’t usually need old TVs to work well. I used to have a N64, NES, and PS2, but I sold them all because I was moving and didn’t want to schlep the absurdly heavy 2004ish plasma TV I had to play them on.
I rock my old Apple color monitor for my old consoles. The same one I’ve been rocking since I was a kid. Gotta smack it from time to time. I’ll change the capacitors one day.
Brother, have you heard of our lord and savior, emulation?
Outside of a few weird edge cases, everything up through N64 era is easily emulatable. PS2 is… okay for most popular games but still actively being worked on.
There’s even video shaders if you want to make it look like your old boxy TV. A lot of games from that era have graphics made with CRT screens in mind.
When was the last time you looked at ps2 emulation? Less than 2% 1% of all ps2 titles are unplayable, and everything that I have tried playing works great.
Also, every Nintendo console works amazingly well, and the switch actually sometimes has performance improvements on some games.
PS3 emulation is doable on a good PC, same with Xbox, though I haven’t tried any newer generations than that.
