Calm down locust don't take the thread to serious
I really only made the thread just because I saw the stamps and thought I bet no other country has done tht and also not sure if i mentioned but what is the most anticipated game for ps5 yes GTA and did you kno the 1st game was made in the uk 
I used to love driving past the Psygnosis building as a kid, they used to have the big owl head sign, would've been just around the PS1 release before they were folded into Sony, I do feel like the UK has been letting things slide over the last few yers in terms of creating games, but I guess that all the globalisation going on, all the best talent gets sucked up by EA to be worker #2432 on FIFA 2021 or shipped off to California to work for google making advertising AI, lets face it gaming as a whole has suffered over the last few years from dwindling charm, most games released at this point feel like corporate projects built by an army of developers to hit certain quota of "fun" to justify being able to pack in as much monetisation as possibleYou’ve never heard of Psygnosis? Man, I’m getting old
But before that they were best known for publishing many stunning games, such as the classic Agony (Amiga, by Art & Magic), Lemmings by DMA Designs, Shadow of the Beast by Reflections and so on.

Pong may well be the first commercial home video game, but in typical Wikipedia fashion, it was far from the first. The first commercial video game, period, was the infamous Computer Space arcade game by Nutting Associates in 1971.
Pong, wasn’t even the first Pong game. That honour goes to William Higinbotham and Robert Dvorak, with Tennis for Two, using an oscilloscope as the screen during an open day at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1958.
If I remember correctly, aside from experimenting in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, the first actual interactive video game was Alexander Douglas’s OXO from 1952.
If you want a bit more detail, have a read of an article I wrote on Pong, it has a lot more detail of the early history of video games.
but I guess thats also a side effect of consumers expecting more, a one man band can hardly be expected to churn out a massive open world adventure with amazing story and 3D modelling and 4k textures, but in all the super high detail we have lost a little something and I miss that, I guess thats why we have breakout indie successes like undertale managing to capture some of that charm

You know how to tell if a game was made in the UK? Drops of water hurt your character.
Yeah. The UK makes the greatest games. LOL.

dodging the rain is a traditional UK pastime
but its funny you mention that, it's probably just that people in the UK when they think "hmmm what's an obstacle I can use?" they probably just default to "oh the damn rain on the way to the office, thats an annoying obstacle to avoid"

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
