    Good to hear.

    PC-9801 hacking is too hard.

    After spending enough time to 100% Final Fantasy 7 trying to replace Lodoss Tou Senki's Japanese text with respectable English, I've had enough. I'm frustrated and exhausted. It's just not time effective given the tools at hand. We have decompilers but none of them are currently workable with...

    Interpreter - an AI-powered offline translator for retro Japanese games

    Fine for VNs, pretty useless for everything else.

    Gaming Free Games thread

    Would like to point out... if you're looking for great free games, try taking a gander at Itch.io's various Jam winners and runners-up... you'll find some surprisingly entertaining stuff.

    We are getting screwed

    EVERYTHING electronic is going to double in price, not immediately... they will try to spread it out to allay the shock... but every year the inflation is gonna be double digits.

    The $3 coupon is no longer working.

    Fair warning: TW Three Kingdoms is a DLC heavy game; in fact, the price for the DLC bought from Epic is on par with the price of the game itself. If you really want to complete this game, get it on Steam or GOG... you'll ultimately save $30 thru the Steam buys, or $20 thru GOG.

    the right tools?

    The Legend of the AI Prophet

    It won't for exactly the reason I said... it'll be biased against hackers. MS, Sony and others will be able to use a special mode of it for their needs, but it will censor itself when you try to use it against them. That is the entire reason trying to use Big AI to find exploits is kinda ridiculous.

    The Legend of the AI Prophet

    So I was thinking today... what if this AI situation is the *other* way around? As in, rather than figuring out how to jailbreak stuff (because companies got to no reason to make such stuff publicly known), what if the AI bots are trawling forums (such as this one) for news about new...

    The Legend of the AI Prophet

    The prophesies of Manboobs state that the AI Prophet will return at Tempor Temporath, the end of days. In those days the GBATemp admins will be lazy and forum software updates infrequent. The Prophet will ask ChatGPT to find an exploit in the forum software that he can return in great wrath and...

    Nintendo wins lawsuit against streamer who played pirated games

    This is pretty bad news. Now that they've beat somebody for playing pirated games ahead of release, they can mark that precedent off their list. Next is people playing Switch emulators on stream, NDS etc... My opinion... this guy was pissed that some people get to play the games early and some...

    PC-98 translations updates (2023)

    I did some hacking work on Lodoss for PC-98, Bent says he's translating it. We're also looking into Breton Lais...

    My PC-98 translation projects

    This may not be terminal. You can use a particular device to access the drive, possibly, and retrieve the files (put the drive in the freezer for a day, then hook it up). In the future tho, I recommend backing up important stuff online, or on a flash drive, or even a DVD. Never rely on a hard...

    Lossless Scaling frame generation doubles the performance in hard-to-run AAA modern games on Steam Deck

    Android, ChromeOS, and OSX are also Linux. It really depends on the policy of the OS publisher when the variant is proprietary.
