Finally with proper mechacon emulation and accurate dumps I can play the most important DDR game on pcsx2

One fun part of running real hardware dumps in emulation is having data transfer properly. Seems this machine was only in operation for a year or so before either someone reset it or it was decommissioned. Judging by the shop name and area, it likely came from this arcade that no longer exists.

This bad boy dumps all you need to emulate python 1 as well as for repair ✅ PS2 bios, nvm, mec ✅ Firewire config rom ✅ BBSRAM ✅ IO Board Boot Rom ✅ Plugged in Dallas dongles ✅ Memory Card Dongle ✅ Memory Card Auth id I had to suffer through days of horrible fan noise for this, plz spread the word

With my python 1 emulator launching soon, I need to test new titles to improve it. As part of that, we need cleaner dumps than what is indexed today. So here's a new P1 dumping tool for real hardware. Just need a sd2psx and usb drive I call it "Snake Charmer" Reach out if interested in testing!

Here's a fun relic that's been trapped on the Konami Python 1 till now. Dancing Stage Fusion is the first DDR game for PlayStation 2 hardware, predating SuperNova 1. It was also Euro exclusive so its not very well known. Some fun licensed songs, and cool to see a PS2 era DDR with lyrics still.

If anyone wants to see it in action, I'll prob look at rolling it out to public after I get another popn running well (don't judge my gameplay)

And now we have pop’n 9 arcade running ⚪️🟡🟢🔵🔴🔵🟢🟡⚪️ Inputs will take me awhile to figure out 😅

And now the last security check is bypassed. Python 1 is now fully playable on pcsx2! * * hacky fork that only works for this game, still lots to do before public release

SUCCESS, WORLD FIRST KONAMI PYTHON 1 GAME RUNNING ATTRACT MODE! 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 Trips up some security when starting a game, but I'm so happy I got it to this point

More and more devices getting stubbed out and now I'm stuck on a "I'm connected!" screen 🫠 The game is very picky about the device state, so far I've had to stub the following all under one firewire cable: HDD CD Drive CF Card card reader BBSRAM 2 DALLAS dongles JVS control ethernet

Finally!!! This is the first time any Konami Python 1 arcade title has ever been emulated! This is technically "in game", however PCSX2 hard crashes after this step so still lots of work ahead. Nice to see some progress after entering the FireWire torment nexus

This is for all the Konami Python 1 fans out there (there are dozens of us)

My nearly eight hour “multi-part” video about Digital Pictures, a leading force of FMV games in the 1990’s, premieres live in about a half hour. Featuring mountains of unreleased footage, interviews, internal documents, and canceled games. youtu.be/QM-I1G_UEr0?...

who decided to call it speculative execution and not cache me if you can

I’ve been keeping a secret for 5 years… For the first time, I’ll reveal the hidden 5th USB port on the original Xbox and how @makemhz.com spent the last year making the impossible possible with over 250,000 software patches. 🧵

I'm just realizing this now, but Microsoft put AI, Tabs, a login portal, a 'search with bing' action and text formatting on notepad before a REDO BUTTON? I also like how the primary reason I used notepad (clearing formatting) is now behind a menu option with no hotkey

If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.

It’s big ball chunky time

Microsoft fumbling the Xbox brand has caused the resale market on Xbox one to drop like a rock. Xbox one is completing its DVR dreams and is now the cheapest way to get 1TB hdds

I slammed my shin against a corner and it became a big bump like I’m a goddamn cartoon character

can't I'm pretty sure I'm loading at least one kernel module from there

Could IKEA please make up their mind on what size imperial bit I would need for a 5mm diameter?

Finally have a workshop of my own instead of sharing the laundry room. I’m so excited. Say hello to my new 3d printing nook

I’m not sure who’s responsible for putting laptop firmware updates inside KDE’s Discover app, but bravo. I can’t imagine how much effort it would have taken to have this functional and stable and “Just Work” ™️ Was a little worried about running Linux on a dual gfx laptop but been smooth sailing 👏

Idk what is more insane notepad phoning home to determine if you have a valid license?! Or Notepad having a PEGI rating?! www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

First steps in a new project starts working, yay 😊

Don’t worry boss. I sistered the neighbouring joist with some structural drywall.

heard the RAM shortage is getting bad so I've been trying to stock up🤞

Nancy Drew’s first 4 novels and The Little Engine That Could are now public domain. Can’t wait for the crossover slasher flick

A recent Windows 11 update removed by desktop background to display the rotating Microsoft™ approved photos. I've been too lazy to fix it, but it recently gave me this image while I was working in WSL Maybe this is a sign to fully jump over...

Given the current price of ram, maybe we should all get into artisan hand-weaved core-memory again

The past week the subscription button on youtube has been broken, and now they moved where it is so that the shorts button on the side bar is where the old button was so I keep clicking it by accident I'm sure this is entirely an accident and not some scheme to artificially inflate some metrics...

The GR-524 nixie tube is an extremely rare symbol tube made by Rodan-Okaya of Japan. The tube shows the days of the week in abbreviated Kanji. nixies.us/bwg_gallery/gr…

At a HardOff I caught a glimpse of an oldschool Japanese mechanical typewriter. The Nippon Type PanWriter types in 3 colours and somehow impacts one of the over 2300 glyphs onto the paper after the user manually slides over the rows & columns and presses down to type it. (Zoom in for the details)

I liked complicated systems and in hs I had to pick mechanics or computers and I picked computers I’m still proud of my first year mechanics course where we tore down and inventoried a lawn mower engine. We were graded on how long it ran after assembly and ours was the only one that didn’t stop.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle! (Nice try, coppers!)
