    >Looks like possibly JTAG on the bottom right as well?
    They seem to be connecting to the PIC microcontroller which acts as the SuperCIC to bypass the region lockout.

    @SylverReZ Well, the PCB definitely aims less for a "scuffed" aesthetic and more so splashes of colour, the actual board is clearly white, so wear on it would be visible. Not that I can imagine anyone causing damage to the PCB protected by its own shell, but... you know

    I'd also like to add that Josh has left his role at Limited Run Games and is no longer in charge, so things at Limited Run Games can only go up from here. Since Josh left, my orders that were late have been getting rushed to me. I've gotten 3 games delivered within a span of 4 months now, and that's awesome.
    Sonic Mania has been ported to MiSTer FPGA's ARM side, in both 4:3 and widescreen. It looks amazing with the SNES scanlines filter too, simulating a CRT.

    I've really been loving what the dev has been doing for us, and I'm eager to see what else he's gonna port over. I'm not expecting anything crazy, but Cave Story would be nice. The PSX Cave Story port is my current favorite.

    This port would definitely be excellent if the decomp team wasn't insane and required rebuilding the engine to unlock DLC, it doesn't prove ownership and makes it impossibly difficult to achieve for anyone lacking building experience or having a setup where building this is nigh impossible, like me...
    Jayro
    Yeah, I have the DLC and was wondering why it wasn't showing up... Weird.
    I finally finished the most difficult part of my Lain Iwakura cosplay, building a Mini CRT *FROM SCRATCH*. There's a Raspberry Pi Zero inside running PiSignage (digital signage software). It cycles through four different 30-second glitchy clips of Lain that I made.

    I have been trying my hardest to look for the driver board you used to get three HDMI inputs off AliExpress and I cannot find one for the life of me. Whether it's the driver board itself or one of those kits of LCD plus driver board. Is it a custom board? Your monitor is really cool and I'd like to construct one of these for myself to play games and cartoons on.
    Jayro
    its a separate hdmi splitter that plugs into the driver board.

    thank you so much for the help
    The new Super Mario movie is good, don't listen to the haters. The pacing is better than last time too. And all the Easter eggs are fairly on the nose this time, instead of "blink and you'll miss it".

    Make sure you stay for the after credits scenes.

    i mean its still early days. if we get practical use of it. ill front page a thread with the information.

    so of us mods are talking about it in our chats.
    SylverReZ
    Still not useful for hacking the Xbox One if we're talking about softmods unless you physically get access to the hardware.

    We have a few more orso years until the scene for that system becomes big.
    Jayro
    Yeah, it's still early days and the process will need some time to be streamlined. MVG's video is great by the way.
    Finally 100%'ed STRAY today. The sewer section is the absolute WORST thing I've ever played in any game, ever. 2nd only to fighting The Flood in the first Halo.

    The Switch 2 has been out since summer of last year, so where's all the third party joycons at? Nyxi has one coming later next month, but I think they'll be the first ones? Kinda sad.

    hmmm maybe they dont care about the switch 2!!!!
    Jayro
    I have the NexiGo NS32 Galaxy print controller, and love it. I also have the controller that the whole switch slides into.

    Soooooo... compared to Switch 1 equivalents, these new ones have:
    - Different method of attaching to the system
    - Mouse sensor
    - Most useful button ever conceived that changes everything in every game with a delicate tactile feel and texture, which starts with C

    I think it'll be another 10 years
