It must be a specific no-intro dump. You have to find the one with the SHA1SUM of 353489a57f24a429572e76bd455bc51d821f7036 *not* the one with the SHA1SUM of 08fa60f23e477752fdd850b1fd4171c6ca025127 and then for some reason they chose to make it not accept the header so you have to actually remove the header yourself by doing something such as using a hex editor and deleting the first 16 bytes. Maybe there&#39;s some tool to do this, but I couldn&#39;t find it. Only doing all this yields a working ROM for this stupid thing.<br/><br/>It really wouldn&#39;t have been that hard for them to just match any standard thing and ignore the header. :neocat_scream_angry: 2026-09-25T15:06:01Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2mh4yxvykxjzxg5urtdw7hvg9nmdf52fgwkrnnlqxa53jn7szxnqzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luq6zeumm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsztdmqs6p3gdfexs7frwdrz2sju0fkum8cv9kvghm7d8xvq3zxs0suvp4rz'>nevent1q…p4rz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I need this yesterday.<br/><br/>EDIT: I need it to have that music too!

Their bodies physically can&#39;t sustain them going all out for long periods of time (at least not for very long) and thus resting/naps is actually a necessary mechanism of conserving energy usage to keep their bodies sustainable so they don&#39;t just burn all their energy stores constantly.<br/><br/>Thus they literally *have* to lie around.<br/><br/>But, the capitalist need to keep people working unnaturally more than they should has taught us to *perceive* this as laziness.

(I&#39;ve never seen it go down before, wow.)<br/><br/>EDIT: Finally got it to load. If I understand correctly, mednaffe on Flathub (com.github.AmatCoder.mednaffe) includes mednafen. Unfortunately I can&#39;t actually test it right now. 2026-03-26T19:28:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsy2eealk67rc3mwffwucks32ydxju8yg0g4awhp7hrw0mzqsrwe6szypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luq0v2t0t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrwp9c2lg0vc82nd2ja2mcklr7afh476jd79yesn004w0decha6fcw98epl'>nevent1q…8epl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Huh. I was under the impression that there was some sort of issue with Mednafen for Saturn. Or just with it in general. But now I can&#39;t remember what I might have read saying any such thing. 🤷 I&#39;ll give it a look I guess.<br/><br/>Sadly I can&#39;t afford a real Saturn.

I&#39;ve compared a lot about the two and 2D is amazing on the Saturn. But it sure falls flat at 3D.<br/><br/>That said, a few games that mix stuff did better on the Saturn. The best example being Grandia. On the Playstation the battle screen with its 2D sprites placed on a 3D background is very jerky and wobbly to a point that one could almost get nausea (I imagine many people do?)<br/><br/>I&#39;ve also been looking at stuff that was translated, but I haven&#39;t found a whole lot.<br/><br/>Biggest problem I&#39;m seeing is emulation is still a hot mess even after all this time. :Yikes: 2026-03-26T18:23:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp6m3ltfaygfdksfcx9kkct7uypgft69vxr49nyz5rsycnjzhl4pqzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqlypp8p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz0vkdsy3xek4l24shq62mppyq4jrj5qyusvc5jqq37cnppcfs9xqnacahx'>nevent1q…cahx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I still can&#39;t decide how I feel about having missed out on the Saturn. It was an intriguing system, but definitely had a lot of limitations. Some stuff on it was really really good, but it was kind of a case of a few really amazing things a few neutral or bad and not much else versus many really good things, a few amazing, and a whole lot of neutral or bad on the Playstation. I always kind of wanted a Saturn, but it just never happened and looking back on it I think I would have been a lot less happy and missed out on a lot.<br/><br/>Of course, in an ideal world I would have had both. 😆<br/><br/>One of these days I&#39;m going to sit down with emulation and really work through some of the stuff I missed out on back then. 2026-03-26T18:15:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsflfaam7uph9le34s02j9pktc4uuhedlzaykr7fr0hls200seeyzqzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqhz5t8n In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0vx4fuyv6angsz2zrex095n6prvc3gs64tx99ap8mka6w867k3jgfl8r8p'>nevent1q…8r8p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I tried to look it up by screenshots.<br/><br/>Something tells me this is a game you can&#39;t determine much about with screenshots... 😆 2026-03-21T17:21:01Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqr8hcevc2mk2waw52ua58nylyj3fysspf77l0ukkp83kd8qzdg9gzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luq8azj2g In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgs5e9v006sttfyysra56emjgndnlnfymwa3adry0zdyyyswy7mgq89h87w'>nevent1q…h87w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I really am praying that you don&#39;t.

It&#39;s sad that so many didn&#39;t properly appreciate it and sadder still that it had a bed rep for so long thanks to bad publicity (Angry Videogame Nerd.) It was anything but perfect of course. Especially figuring out the secret at that cliff with the none-too-intuitive clues given. Translation issue abounded apparently. It seems the original text was a lot clearer on some things that caused enormous confusion in the translation.<br/><br/>Despite all this it was just such an epic adventure. It and Metroid were pretty much the official originators of the &#34;metroidvania&#34; term (Castlevania 1 was linear without items/abilities to progress after all.) It really did do something relatively newish for its time in good ways. 2026-03-11T15:01:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszlk6v3um507eajhfp4emsw69er6rmmwz4t80jgz7uc4hsjg5prsczypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqguzws8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs844d3ftfe2pr7f56mwyccuvqsdpn2dcr4pau2cukup0rk80ydyysl9e8ft'>nevent1q…e8ft</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It really was mindblowing from the title screen on.

Especially in those days. Even the one I&#39;d had the highest hopes for being fun on console (Morrowind) ended up being kind of blech on the Xbox. (Lots of slowdowns and such. But as a side note, if you had a CFW you could actually get quite a few mods to work on it at least, which was kind of cool. I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve seen that again until Skyrim on the Switch and even it has to deal with a different texture format on any mods that use textures.) 2026-02-22T23:04:41Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswjx59t9h0exfyecmjcacxvvskn9kxgzuljls2lcymlltxhle4sfszypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqm8u6a7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd2kta28nnr4elq05rv2whh6akdydqtv723dfptm5f3wxdssvw73qzpdjl4'>nevent1q…djl4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don&#39;t know.

They just shouldn&#39;t be compressing the dynamics in the first place. You shouldn&#39;t have to pay all that just to get the original full dynamics...<br/><br/>Of course, part of the issue there is most people don&#39;t know that that is the true difference between the two, so they&#39;re paying for all that super equipment to get diminishing returns and really it&#39;s the baseline itself that is the issue.<br/><br/>There is literally no reason the CD version should not sound just as good or better than the record.

What&#39;s wrecking them is the freaking &#34;loudness war&#34; as they call it. That&#39;s the thing that makes records tend to be better: they&#39;re not fully immune to the loudness war, but they&#39;re darned close to it since compressing the dynamics makes it hard to actually fit the full thing on a record, thus records are generally made without that.<br/><br/>Which means the real issue is the loudness war and I really wish people could do something about it.<br/><br/>I have a bit of a sensitivity to the scratching sound (or whatever I should call it) that records make, so I kind of couldn&#39;t do that even if I wanted (though most of my favorite music isn&#39;t really going to be on records anyway.)<br/><br/>And yeah, the price has become a major problem these days too. 2026-02-21T22:59:57Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgzlstxp54wp9g9j6m7gnj02hw7vhpehrtxxt6ahu47agg8kxxtjszypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqk33rgx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg85nnps2c8ch6fxuejkql26n3d7y7jn055uzfsatxuqr8kcuz4wsx505qa'>nevent1q…05qa</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I was more of a SNES person, but this statement is absolute fact.

I had no choice, there were no alternatives. I watched the least awful thing I could. And there were some good things of course, but just so much of the time I had to be watching anything just had to go to whatever was least bad. It&#39;s weird that I can remember some I actually rather disliked with something vaguely resembling fondness — I guess in part because at least they were better than most of what&#39;s on these days. Which is to say that there may be a lot available today, but it&#39;s shoveled in, lowest common denominator, provide only one thing type stuff. (That existed then, but nowhere near to this level...) 2026-01-28T15:58:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxrl90zduqrv7x073ajqezq75dum77jlkvl72dddewm97ccxrdrmczypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqp3dv8h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspgs4hl8e8e2vjm7tpc379pwq9mxn5zt74vqnxycftrnvq9n680tqsssf3j'>nevent1q…sf3j</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Lol, I&#39;m not very in on this stuff.

It&#39;s becoming a serious problem too. Those giant vehicles literally make it impossible for smaller vehicles to have protections against them. Plus they block more view (you&#39;ve probably seen the images that show the angle of view of most American pickups/SUVs now and how whole entire children can be standing there and just simply not seen within that range...)<br/><br/>All I can figure is it comes from &#34;supersizing&#34; in general where people are led to believe that larger is always automatically better and usually the maker and/or seller gets a higher profit margin by getting people to think this way. 2026-01-08T23:04:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspr2nwrvt0tqfvuu7q6pf2law8cdsl0csq7zm43e0x9a586cveezczypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luqq2mdru In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrspaaduuxnete7l22f4cmwq0axp9fljk94lmeew8vcwnfmf8u7ag8vam64'>nevent1q…am64</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thing is, on the Android side I see it too and OEMs there have a *LOT* more freedom. The fact that so few are at all reasonably sized and almost all are internally junk says that the market itself really is — overall — just buying large phones.<br/><br/>And I absolutely abhor that this is true.<br/><br/>My best phone ever at its time was the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. Very premium hardware inside for its time. A good fast CPU, enough RAM, etc etc. I later got a Z5 Compact which was almost as good with better hardware, but not as durable and slightly worse side grips.<br/><br/>These things fit **IN** my hand, not **AROUND** my hand as is the popular trend. And they were really *mostly* intended for the Japanese market. Sad thing is, SONY seems to have phased out doing compact models. :Sob: 2026-01-08T22:54:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd76vqynn2tpg8x8zr23uk73papmcs73vaat7nskuqgt93kk7d4vqzypg47qu2nm223jn574lpzae9ad32hgqgrvxla0rz5a8uc9rm33luql5cl5n In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs29k6zuavt0ruzm83fycuchg9vw6tz07ltyjf8ffarc8cjkfpj0cqmewxaf'>nevent1q…wxaf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ll put a really big &#34;wait and see&#34; on this on personally.<br/><br/>Even Intel was struggling to break out into the real GPU market.
