Re: 3DO FPGA Core "Cannot Be Accurate On The MiSTer" Says Creator

"The MiSTer platform is a little long in the tooth these days, so it's hardly surprising that developers are reaching the limit of its potential."

First I'm hearing of that since everyone still goes on about how good it is compared to typical emulation.

100% accuracy would be ideal however making the games run properly is what is ultimately important. It just depends what those inaccuracies are and whether they ruin the gameplay experience or even improve it.

Re: "I Will Always Cherish That Chapter Of My Life" - A Million Subs Later, One Of Retro Gaming's Most Famous YouTubers Calls It Quits

I always found his channel overrated. His research is detailed and in-depth but he covers the same topics that have been covered endlessly by everyone else. Norman will put out a video on Super Mario Kart and then everyone will think this is the first time it's been covered. That channel could have done a lot more interesting stuff.

@X68000 The irony of course is Norman started as a sort of early AVGN copy. Laid back, no nonsense with arms folded and slightly arrogant. Then he stopped making videos for a few years and when he came back he became the more natural "well that's just swell" persona he's been since. 😂

@Banjo- Try to widen your search. There are more channels out there covering more variety of topics. I'd hate to think you think this is as informative as retro gaming content gets.

@Sketcz I had no idea about this. I'm somehow not surprised as my comment above shows his audience believe his topics are new only when he's covered them. It's very frustrating. His sources could easily be put into his videos but then creating an ignorance might be unintentionally beneficial to him I guess? 🤔

My favourite game of all time is coming back!!! Again! Wasn't too keen on the changes made to the console ports but the Amiga original is terrific fun. 😊

@Fallingshadow The version they ported was the Mega Drive version so here's hoping they have access to the original Amiga version this time and can get the Chupa Chups licencing.

Re: "This Is A Regret In My Life" - Sonic X-treme Designer On The "Fork In The Road" That Killed Saturn's Most Famous Unreleased Game

One of the main problems as we all know is Japan just was very toxic to the American branch. That's ultimately why Sonic X-treme was never completed. What still baffles me to this day is they were clearly capable of doing a 3D Sonic game as Sonic Jam shows so why not just do more of that? 🤔

@Sketcz Yes it does look like Bug! which is great as a Bug! as that's a classic platformer game for Saturn but it doesn't fit Sonic well.
