Games@lemmy.world•What is some smaller gaming news?English
27·1 month agoThere’s a team of people called Harbour Masters who decompiled Nintendo 64 games (or used decomps from other people, I’m not sure) and recompiled them as native PC ports. So far they have done Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, and Super Mario 64. All of these games can be played without an emulator, they support widescreen and modern resolutions, and can be played at higher frame rates without issue.
There is another team of people called Linifadomra who have done the same thing, and recompiled Twilight Princess for the GameCube under the name Courage Reborn.
The actual news is that both teams, Harbour Masters and the Linifadomra, have announced that they will be working together to recompile more GameCube games. I’m not sure if Harbour Masters is done with N64 games or not, but I’m looking forward to seeing what games they will work on next.
Made some edits, I mixed up teams

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•how do you feel about hv bypasses?English
20·1 month agoI’ve tried to understand what the hypervisor bypass is and I feel like I’m not fully grasping it, I just wanted to say that first so that if I sound stupid, it is because I am stupid. From my loose understanding, it sounds like you are trading giving a corpro entity more access than they should need to your hardware/system, to giving a modified and possibly sketchy program from an unknown source even more access. Sounds like a lose/lose situation and I am staying away from it, but I am glad someone (other than a complete lunatic) was able to break that DRM

Games@lemmy.world•I just saw the Ocarina of Time Remake glimpse at Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026English
38·1 month agoI love OoT and I still play the game semi regularly, but I just feel so conflicted about this. It’s good that a game I like so much is being made more easily available and is getting the (nearly) 30 year old limitations and rough edges polished out, but on the other hand… I just don’t know. In my opinion those rough edges give the game a certain charm that gets lost even if the devs do everything right

Are you telling me a blunt forced this trauma?
I’ve heard someone call it rotten sewer oil. It’s honestly grown on me. I don’t think it’s as bad as everyone says, but it is very bitter and flavour wise there isn’t much else going on
A lil sip of this will make almost anyone not want to talk to you again. I speak from experience

Games@lemmy.world•What gaming console you own/owned disappointed you the most and why ?English
31·2 months agoThe OG Xbox. I’m sure it’s actually a fine console with great games on it, but my own personal experience with it was frustrating. I had already owned a GameCube and a PS2, both modified to play games from a SD card/hard drive and output an HDMI signal for modern tvs. I figured I’d might as well own the main 3 consoles from that generation and get the Xbox. I bought one that came with some cheap third party controllers and the first thing I did was replace the old capacitors on the circuit board. No problem there. Now there were 3 modifications I wanted to install, a mod chip with a new OS, replace the HDD with an SSD to install games on, and the HDMI converter. First up is the mod chip, and the install went fine. Except that after installing it with the new OS, the controller doesn’t work. From here, I’d tinker with it for a day or two and then get pissed and shelf it for a couple of weeks before going back to it. I even bought extra controllers which didn’t work, and a fucking oscilloscope to trace the controller signals through the motherboard to see if I accidentally de-soldered something installing the mod chip. Turns out the problem was the guy who made the OS didn’t put any tolerances in for the controller signals, so the third party controllers I had just didn’t work. Got some original Xbox controllers, and everything was fine and fucking dandy. The SSD install actually went in no problem. The HDMI converter was a pain in the ass because I had to solder in this ribbon cable with tiny contacts, but I got it in. And it just didn’t work. Apparently the two mods, mod chip and HDMI converter, were supposed to work together but sometimes they just didn’t since they are made by two different people. Only remedy is get another mod chip or converter and maybe those work. But I got lucky and one guy made a dual mod chip and converter. So I got that. Installed it. It fucking worked. I spent some time downloading and installing a bunch of games to the SSD. When I was happy with my newly acquired library of Xbox games, I unplugged it from the setup on my work bench and moved it to my living room, and when I turned it on the TV showed no signal. Fuck. When I cracked it back open, the mod chip had an LCD display with a fault code that should mean a bad solder joint or firmware needs to be reinstalled. I did both, but no luck. Checked the forums and found good news and bad news. The good news was that at least a dozen of other people are having the same problem, so there should be a fix, right? Well… Bad news was that the creator was responding to everyone with a, “I’ve never had that problem, you must have done something wrong. Buy a new kit and install it correctly this time.” … This bitch… I put that Xbox right in my closet and haven’t touch it since 2023. I spent 2 and a half years and a lot more money than I want to admit on that console and I’m just fucking done. I might go back and get it working some day, but I still want to vomit whenever I glance at the damn thing


I have the core rules book, investigator manual, and keeper manual for the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG, does that count?

22·2 months agoIt really depends on the event and how much the organizers want to play whack-a-mole with illegal broadcasts. The only knowledge I have with pirating a live broadcast would be something like a big UFC fight. If you get really thick in the weeds where you are finding Twitch streamers that have 5 viewers and claim to be playing a UFC video game, some of them are broadcasting a real fight and are pretending to play with a controller

I mixed up the Dusklight team with the Courage Reborn team, so I went and fixed my other comment. I only follow Harbour Masters so I saw their announcement, not sure if Linifadomra has made an announcement
