Does anyone recognize this song? It kept showing up in my dreams this past night, right before I'd wake with cold sweats. It would crash my machine whenever I tried to transcribe it. While I wrote it, I couldn't stop crying. I have no idea why, tears would begin rolling whenever I hear the song.

The user Vague Rant just shared a patch for "Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!" on the SEGA Dreamcast to fix its awful analog controls once and for all! I gave it a quick test on real hardware and boy oh boy, is it a massive improvement. DOWNLOAD www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewto...

The PC Engine's true colour palette isn't linear RGB; the palette goes through a transformation when it gets modulated. And while its composite output is good, S-Video is better. Here's a video that shows off @zaxour 's TurboNanza modification: www.youtube.com/watch?v=05x7...
