Does anyone know why the Pi Pico debug probe might be giving a "JUNK" error?

Possibly the first 3D PS2 game to run in 1080i www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFoX...

Does anyone recall if any of the Nintendo leaks had GBA e-Reader tools in them?

Question: how many degrees off was the WarioWare Twisted gyroscope nearer to its release in 2005? I'm not sure if this is hardware degradation or if its normal?

Well there you go I made a micro post of it lol luigiblood.neocities.org/micro/2025-1...

The big "VGM Sound Sources" (game soundfont) spreadsheet list sound CDs/synths and has a "wanted CDs" list. But where are the download links (or dat/hash file) for the actual CDs/synth data?

After 6 years working on BlueRetro, the time has come for me to move on and focus on my family and my real job. Thank you to everyone who contributed, tested, reported issues, or supported the project over the years. Your involvement made BlueRetro what it is today.

Websites don't just magically appear on the Wayback Machine, someone has to actually archive them. Sometimes that's Internet Archive themselves. Sometimes that's the ArchiveTeam community saving entire websites before they shut down. And they could use your help paying for their big servers :)

Honestly I thought they wouldn't slop-ify Prime 4, since its meant to be a "hardcore" series. I guess Kirby is the only Nintendo franchise that's been left untouched.

Prime 4 basically doesn't have any of the original Prime devs, does it? Did Nintendo not give them the memo that its good to keep your devs around?

Prime 4 might be the first Nintendo game that had a cross-platform release (like Twilight Princess and BOTW) where the version on the newer console is significantly higher fidelity?

Valve should bring back E3 just for Half-Life 3. They shouldn't debase themselves by going on the "Game Awards".

I guess I'll need to upgrade from my GTX 1650 for Half-Life 3. Hopefully that'll cover Half-Life Alyx as well, although I'd still need the VR setup.

Nintendo's post-Wii output seems to be "by-the-numbers creativity". An evolution of the formula they started with NSMBWii. The devs are required to be as creative as possible, but only within very strict parameters that nullify much of the creativity felt in the final product.

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out. www.kiro7.com/news/local/g...

We've added 100 new CDs to our collection of press CDs from GamePro magazine, with thousands of pieces of game art, screenshots, and more So, what's the GamePro press CD collection? We put together an explainer

Are you ready for #PicoIDE? It seems to be telling me it's ready. Coming soon: ATAPI optical disc emulation and IDE hard drive emulation. picoide.com

I have scanned and uploaded the extremely rare Nintendo company guide from 2000: archive.org/details/nint... This is my first attempt at archiving my collection so I expect the quality will improve as my process does

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

Surprise! 25 3DS prototype builds are now available! Many come from E3 2010. There's plenty to explore as I go in-depth with these previews in this special video.

Microsoft have officially confirmed that pirating Steam games "is an Xbox", as long as you check in with Copilot every so often to see how its feeling. In response, the Gamer's Advice Bureau have issued an safety advisory to not maintain prolonged eye contact with Microsoft.

32%? Those are rookie numbers, you've gotta get those numbers up. (At least its 40% or something for Windows users as a whole.)

All these game re-releases would be less annoying if companies didn't make such a big deal about them. Back when we had E3, they would've just been footnotes.

Nintendo fans in 2045: "omg I'm so excited they added the third page of the Pikmin manual to the Nintendo Classics+ tier of the Nintendo Retro Legacy app!!! I hope they add the box art of Mach Rider Next!!!!!!"

A REQUEST: If you own a French CD-ROM computer game called "Pop Anim'", please let me know. I could use it for some research but haven't been able to find a circulating copy yet. (It's at the BnF but I can't get there right now.)

Apparently Yoji Inagaki worked on all the non-enemy sound effects in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. He did sound effects for Luigi's Mansion too, but not sure on specifics. But out of any game I know these two Zelda games have the closest atmosphere to Luigi's Mansion.

Added one: A Hat in Time. Not played it yet though.

Made a backlogdd list: "Games with a Sense of "Home" / Evolving Hub Worlds and Adventure Chapters" backloggd.com/u/HiccupJul/...

I made a backloggd account. Still need to import some old lists into it though. backloggd.com/u/HiccupJul/

Are there any other action games that have these sort of low-poly, bitcrushed, noisy, kind of creepy robot bosses like in Sonic Rush? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et2J...

Got my first capture from the top screen of the Nintendo DS Lite using a Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller. Captured using PIO, outputting DVI-D using HSTX. There is still some work left to do, but it's getting there!

People seem to imply that AI is an art tool like a pencil, or 3D modelling software. But the difference is, those tools aren't shit.

Long-shot: I will pay $500 for a recording or transcript, with slides visible, of the 2017 CEDEC “Field Level Design” Breath of the Wild talk by Hidemaro Fujibayashi and Makoto Yunezu, if you’re ok with me sharing it.

Can someone post a workaround for these UK/EU age verification checks, using a virtual camera? These checks are on discord, twitter, bluesky, xbox now. And the "sensitive" content its restricting includes protest/war footage and games with high age ratings.

Hello. It's almost been 10 years since UNDERTALE released. Now, I'm looking for your memories. Let's turn back together. Face the flower and speak. memories.undertale.com

in any case, i'm proud of what we (almost entirely Xkeeper) have accomplished in just a few days. once this is polished up and usable, i am confident it will revolutionize SMB2 modding. the core concept can also be applied to other games with some effort (e.g. replacing the level loading routines)

Help out if you can! www.retrorgb.com/sony-pdf-sor...

Has anybody made hardware to test if two joystick modules behave the same way - same physical movement and same electrical output? Because it seems like the longer-lasting third party ones can differ from the originals.

Yeah, they're still making "Nintendogs", they never stopped. But how about making "Super Mario 64". Rather than Open World Stick Collection Simulator 6.

People are saying Xbox is dead now. But looking through this list, nearly all of these were primarily designed for PlayStation or PC, right? And wasn't it like this for all/most of the Xbox One/Series lifespan?

Does anyone have the Yooka-Replaylee demo still installed?

so apparently someone on TCRF pointed out that a strange skeletal head possibly resembling king mander seems to be present in the luigi newspaper screenshot for drybake stadium, so i had to reconstruct based on what i am seeing, and it appears that person may be correct

I guess the issue with Switch 2 game key cards is that they add an extra point of failure compared to either purely digital or physical games. With digital, the license is based on the server, with physical, on the cart. But with game key cards, its both.

Like I’m happy it’s easy to do that but you can just buy a computer or a weird handheld or an actual GameCube.

Always interesting to hear someone describe or critique the quality of emulation on a Nintendo platform because it’s like hearing about regional politics in a place I would never live in. Like wow, The West Midlands is having a referendum and F-Zero GX has a locked frame rate? Fascinating.

What is Xbox? It’s not a console. It’s not a handheld. It’s not Master Chief or Gears O’war. It’s the smell of a new car. It’s the laughter of a child on their seventh birthday. It’s the tender embrace of a lover on a warm June evening. The Xbox is freedom, gentlemen. Pure and simple.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
