https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki that's the one. never had an amiga so am honestly pretty clueless on all things amiga, but this should be a good opportunity to poke around at one via https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Minimig-AGA_MiSTer

yep and yep. altho.. it's all just a confirmation email atm so this will all take some time :-)

bit the bullet and getting a MISTer... wish me luck folks...

the boomkat listing says 2cd ... weirdly enuf https://boomkat.com/products/rave-till-you-cry not sure if accurate or typo or what tbh

Ahh i see. more of a Gescom mini disc kinda car. Very Cool.

make a single file mp3 with all the tracks back to back like a big nts mega mix

"formally trained musicians" i understand the sentiment of finding the colundi releases boring. but some of these arguments and reasonings sound identical to when i was in high school, and would show dumb egghead teenagers drukqs on my ipod nano and they would say "this is just doof doof garbage that anyone could make on a computer. try listening to a real band who actually know how to play an instrument and write songs."

??? wtf are you blabbering on about. the output from colundi 1, thru to the output on later colundi albums + moonshine, etc.. aren't similar sounding at all.

The thing about FPGAs/Mister is that instead of a computer program emulating the hardware (like you would with Snes9x or Dolphin or whatever else) it is actual hardware emulating the desired hardware. So if you compare Retropie games with games running on a Mister you'll notice that the Mister produces a LOT sharper images and the sound is also way more crisp - just like you remember it from the 80s/90s. Also, people are using FPGAs to emulate old synths now. It's pretty amazing actually. good furthermore of this explanation > https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Why-FPGA what old synths you referring to there? i'm getting increasingly curious and closer to biting the bullet on the MISTER. it sure as hell ain't cheap, but it seems like a fun thing to tinker on, and it seems there's enough of a community around the MISTER ensuring updates are coming out to in pretty timely fashion atm, to keep the thing fresh and interesting.

The fact that I've had at least three login attempts from unknown parties to my Epic account last year might have something to do with it (before I uninstalled the game launcher). Never had that problem with Steam, which I've used since its debut in 2001. damn. ye fuck that, fair enough!

what the heck does any of this gobbledigook even mean https://forum.facepunch.com/general/bvnqr/Epic-Games-Store-Is-Shit-But-It-s-Not-Spyware/1/

You're telling me I didn't boycott those things? this pretty much answers my original question tho, of .. how is epic store any different to other stores and platforms having exclusives. if the answer is, it's no different. i'm not agreeing to disagree at all. i'm just disagreeing.

but that's how business gets done these days? a publisher makes a deal with a developer, makes money arrangements for production to take place, and then the game gets released, and in some cases, it gets released as an exclusive. if you're taking the moral ground on not playing a game based on exclusivity, then you're pretty much limiting yourself to not playing literally anything except games released 20 years ago on a rasberry pi illegally. also, regarding tencent... they kind of own everything these days... As of March 2018, Tencent is the largest video game company in the world.[156] Tencent majority-owns game companies Grinding Gear Games (80%),[157] Miniclip (undisclosed majority stake),[158] Riot Games (100%)[159] Epic Games (40%),[160] Activision Blizzard (5%),[161] Ubisoft (5%),[162] and Supercell (84.3%).[163] i hope you're not playing nintendo games on the rasberry pi because most of those were exclusives too.. and that's morally wrong.

Tencent own a majority stake in Epic Games, so… https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/a9lntx/ubisoft_needs_to_stop_with_this_always_online/eclrmii/?utm_term=31237107642&utm_name=null&utm_content=timestamp&utm_source=embed&utm_medium=comment_embed&context=3

how’s exclusivity a new thing tho? that’s been standard practice for a while now? no one boycotted sony cos bloodborne, or boycotted nintendo cos batmyonetta 2. or destiny on blizzard launcher? ten cent own a stake in epic but that doesn’t mean it’s the chinese govment spying on you ??? bayonetta^*

able to elaborate on the questionable experience with epic? the whole spyware claims are all very confusing to me, especially since it all seems to be sourced from someone on reddit making claims and none of what they're talking about makes much sense to me (me not being tech savvy literate).

the imperfections i'm referring to is largely, to do with the old systems being made with analog connections in mind. - games were made with no input lag specifically. and pc + rasberry pi + the classic mini systems, will all introduce lag to the equation simply by being digital signals. (this has always been real noticeable for me but this might just be personal experience with the digiTVs im using) - also, CRT pixels ain't square 1:1 -> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Pixel_geometry_01_Pengo.jpg thing about that is, a perfectly rendered original SNES output image is actually 1:1 square instead of 4:3, but when displayed on a CRT tv, it renders the image at a 4:3 aspect ratio. so rendering SNES output digitally, means the emulator needs to stretch the imagine to make it match what it looked like on an original CRT (how the games were intended to be viewed). depending on the quality of the emulation, and the resolution of the image output, this stretch can result in shimmering screen tearing effects especially during scrolling. this kinda stuff is what i'm referring to when it comes to imperfections. even the Snes mini and NES mini classic emulator boxes aren't perfect. i just think they do a good job at doing what they do + you can pretty easily insert new games into them via USB + they are available to buy at your local shops and have a good amount of 'no hassle' involved. i reckon you can have more faith in PC emulation being more up to date than what you'd get out of a rasberry pi. ... but depending on your needs, ofc, a rasberry pi might be totally fine too.

the biggest shock was seeing michael caine rock out to a weird edit of Omgyjya-Switch7.

rasberry pi seems good but it still seems like an imperfect way of emulating games, and i always have an imperfect way of emulating games via pc. one of the reasons the NES and SNES classic mini things were cool is, they had a usb slot on the back and it was very easy to load your own files onto it. complete with a developer message in a text file ... "This is the hanafuda captain speaking. Launching emulation in 3...2...1. Many efforts, tears and countless hours have been put into this jewel. So, please keep this place tidied up and don't break everything! Cheers, the hanafuda captain." lol. which then displays the new games in the UI interface complete with box art and everything. if the mini sega has a usb slot and can do custom games just as easily, then it'd probably be fun and would sit nicely along the other mini consoles. the Analog nt stuff always looks good but is generally pretty expensive. but that + and a flash cart would be pretty damn near perfect i reckon, in terms of emulating the original hardware perfectly and without hitches. https://www.analogue.co/mega-sg/

aye. i loved children of men (only seen it once around when it came out) and haven't watched it since cos i imagine it'd be a real bummer of a movie today, for the reasons you're talking about.

the estore listing for yoshi has a demo for first level or so
