This is a really neat solution, but I can also play GameCube ISOs off my hacked Wii for free without the need for hardware to accomplish it, so I can’t say there is a huge usecase for this other than people who want the clean implementation and the original GameCube look.
No, the Wii plays GameCube games natively. It has GameCube hardware in it. It’s not emulating the games.
You’re completely ignoring the difference between a natively run/performing game and the performance/bugs that appear when emulating. Even the best emulators can’t give you an exact playthrough like the native console would.
There are very few emulators that do that and they’re still limited to the 8 and 16-bit eras because the power required to emulate all the console’s hardware to accurately run the games is immense. Almost every emulator uses tricks to get close to native performance but they don’t actually emulate games the way they are played on the consoles.
I agree, homebrewing a Wii is so easy that I think I could do it in my sleep at this point. If anyone is debating between one or the other, Wii is the way to go you’re essentially getting two consoles in one (and there are even emulators/vc for almost every console that comes before them).
That being said, I just have to admire the work that people are putting in to the GameCube after all these years. There’s something really pleasing to me about its form factor and its simplicity compared to the Wii. This channel has several other showcases like this one if that sounds interesting!
Sounds better than my current setup. I have Swiss on a SD card plugged in with a memory card adapter, my roms on a micro SD card in the serial port using an SD2SP2. To boot into Swiss I have to use an Action Replay disc. It works but it’s a pain.
This is a fantastic video. Watched it on my lunch break. I was aware of the rolling method, but all of the developments after that were news to me. Very cool.
That was surprisingly interesting! I had no idea that people are still playing Tetris on NES. I ended up watching the whole thing. Crazy how they managed to push the limits further and further…
I know! I found it through Hacker News and was skeptical about it given the click bait looking thumbnail and title but it turned out to be pretty decent. That record holder looks like he’s about 12 - so weird to think of someone that young playing an NES game.
In a time where the “Remake syndrome” is spreading to the game market, anything new deserves a chance. I’ll wait for a pc version. It would be nice to play it on my Deck (≧ω≦)/
The difference is that crossovers in fortnight work. They fit the style and vibe of the game. When you put Nicky Minaj in cod it looks like a meme mod. I think mtg has been doing the crossover stuff for ages and players have hated it always.
TL;DW: In which Moonie considers 1) actual California legal definitions, 2) exactly what was said in Jobst’s, SomeOrdinaryGamer’s and The Completionist’s videos, and 3) innocence until proven guilty, and importantly points out that tax filings can and often are inaccurate (due partly to the law being extremely complex) and are corrected/settled afterwards (possibly with a simple small fine), and concludes that:
charity fraud is plausible but is only a midemeanour
embezzlement is not substantiated by publicly available information - saying you don’t spend the funds on expenses and then spending funds on expenses would probably be charity fraud rather than embezzlement
missing funds is not substantiated by publicly available information - most of the publicly available information is the tax returns but tax returns are not really evidence of your accounts because they might be wrong, that would be quite common and would not be serious legal trouble.
and that Jobst and SomeOrdinaryGamer are comically lacking in legal understanding and knowledge when you look at the seriousness of the accusations they make.
