Thanks man, I really enjoyed the story. For me, I had a SNES, and after playing '91 & '92 on the Genesis, I bought NHLPA '93 (the first version on the SNES) as soon as it came out. I rented '94 for the SNES when it came out, and I definitely liked it better with the one-timers and real team logos, but also thought that it lost something from the way '93 played. I enjoyed renting every subsequent version, but always wanted a version that was just like '93, but with one-timers and the real team logos. I literally didn't play the Genesis '94 until a FEW YEARS AGO, having no idea that it was the same engine as '93, but, you know, with one-timers. It was my holy grail version! But after some playthroughs, I thought it still needed a few tweaks, and, well, you can imagine the rest of the story goes.

Glad to hear you played a round of '23! I'm already prepping for '24…

Oh, thanks for digging up the plugin for me, but unfortunately I already had it. Always double check with Tetsuo's pack on this stuff, and of course I tried all your packs too. That's the bad news. The good news is that I solved it! This has been vexing me for longer than I could remember, but I finally figured it out. Tomorrow I'll post my LONG story, and a tldr; for fellow travellers struggling with this stuff. Right now I'm too busy punching the air in celebration.

-a

p.s. Will check out the Virtua Racing mod. I've never been any good at that game!

For WFL users, official RA 1.15.0!

RA-HEX is unusable to a point where i pulled it from the plugins pack some time ago.

So for me, it really come down to RA 60fps performance vs HEX 25fps performance. This is seriously the difference between the 2 cores.

I feel like this is one of those scenarios where you can have your cake but you are not allowed to eat the entire piece.

Does 1.15.0 play Primal Rage fullspeed? does knuckles chaotix save support work? (I remember it was broke in the past) and do all the games run pretty well? Ive never used the 32x core before. Thanks!

Yes Primal Rage is full 60fps speed, eveything i have tested/played are full speed with 1.15.0.

Loading saves is still broken though, hopefully someday it will be fixed but i'm not holding my breath.

Are you using the WiiFlow Lite Plugins Pack 2023? If so, everything you need is already included and in the proper folders/path.

The picodrive dol file should not be renamed, the path is...device:/wiiflow/plugins/Retroarch-Wii/picodrive_libretro_wii.dol

No, I use my own custom build of wiiflow. Do you have a link to the plugin pack?

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
