"It does appear that my worst fears are true, and that I am being specifically targeted by Nintendo,"

 

This blog post goes over all of the work I’ve done to add HD resolution support to the Original Xbox version of Halo 2. From patching the game to modifying the hardware of the Xbox console to writing custom tools for performance benchmarking, my goal with this project was to push the limits of both and see how far I could go. I’ve tried to keep this blog post as short as I could and only include the most technically interesting parts but even then it ended up quite long.

 

The leading Nintendo Switch emulator is a smoking crater. Others are wary — but hopeful — for the future.

 

Video game remakes like ‘Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’ are the definitive single-player trend of the past decade. But they also represent a distinct set of challenges for an art form that doesn’t really “age” like other entertainment does.

TimeSplitters is another great game. I miss the PS2, GameCube days.

Me too! It is all I did one summer with my brother and a couple of friends. One of the best summers I had growing up.

In the video, Leepspvideo demonstrates his success at emulating the Nintendo GameCube on the Raspberry Pi 5. This is running on an emulator dedicated to the GameCube known as Dolphin. The performance is playable and as long as you keep the Pi plenty cool, it’s going to handle many GameCube ROMs without too much fuss.

I thought the same thing. I remembering upgraded to a light-scribe drive which was cool. I thought it would take off more but USB keys killed it.
