Game Console Homebrew is Weird
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
You could just play video games on your video game console. For me, that's just not enough. Too boring! I want to do horrible things to my game consoles. Thankfully, there's a whole community built around the idea of making game consoles do things they were never supposed to do. Homebrew has been around for the longest time, and the communities around these hacked systems have been producing so...
Why was Apple's Coolest Laptop so... bad?
Переглядів 954Рік тому
The PowerBook G4 was not only Apple's finest PowerPC system - but, in my opinion, it was also a staggering example for the entire industry to follow. The compromise of form over function at its best... at least, given it didn't snap in half easier than an iPad Pro. But can it run Minecraft? I really enjoyed messing with this hardware and I hope to dive into even more PowerPC stuff in the future...
Early Video Game Emulation was Weird
Переглядів 55 тис.Рік тому
Emulating video games is a pretty cut and dry thing these days - there's usually just one (or maybe two) great emulators for a system that are as easy as downloading off GitHub and throwing in an ISO file... but it wasn't always like that. The current emulation scene is only a mere imitation of the chaotic and rapidly progressing ecosystem of the late 90s and early 2000s. So I decided to talk a...
Deceptive Simplicity | Understanding Kirby Air Ride
Переглядів 3,3 тис.Рік тому
Kirby Air Ride is probably one of the most misunderstood games in the GameCube's game library. It's been the subject of many discussions over what even constitutes a "racing game", and I feel like it's worth taking a deeper dive into the thought process behind it. I personally LOVE Kirby Air Ride. City Trial is probably one of the most infinitely replayable game loops I think I've ever seen, an...

The early 2000s were a time of technological advancement and excitement - but for some players in the console industry, things weren't going all too well.

    All I’m going to say is if you wanna spend less money and not purchase a backward-compatible PS3 what I did was. I bought me. PS3 slim. I modified the system and put homebrew on it, and now it plays PS2 games and PS1 games and PS3 games

    I made the mistake of using the Wii stand for too long. Now it's always flat 👍 Context, I saw a video showing why it's best to always put your consoles flat instead of standing. Comes down to a chip overheating, and disconnecting, or something along that line.

    Funny thing is depite being significantly better than consoles at games since the mid 90's Pc gaming never really took off till the 7th gen, by 2004 sure you had half life 2 doom3 and a few other but thats really all you had EVERYTHING was on console then for whatever reason in 2006 all of a sudden devs started making games on pc then using the dev kits to port them after the fact leading to a huge rise in games available on pc. I should note valve making steam a requirement for half life 2 and the very existence of steam in general absolutely helped spear head this movement. Now in the year of our lord 2024 people at large are finally starting to move over to gaming pc's realizing theyre a wiser investment over console ironically killing the pc market by driving up prices 100% which is infact not an exaggeration infact its an under exaggeration the number is closer to 129%

    10:40: NO! The Wii U did NOT fail because of "poor marketing!" That is COMPLETE BS! They could have had the best marketing ever and it would not have sold even ONE more console! The Wii U was the console NO ONE asked for. It had this stupid tablet, which meant that the 60 million of us who bought Wii's for the motion controls were not interested at all, and it was vastly underpowered, only being about as powerful as a 2005 Xbox 360. And because of that, 3rd party devs couldn't easily bring the games they were making for the MUCH more powerful Xbox One and PS4 to the Wii U. THAT is why the Wii U failed. Literally no one but Nintendo fanboys wanted it. But fanboys being fanboys they want to make excuses for why it failed. Well, sorry. Wii know the truth.

  • @Great-Documentaries

    10:15: Not one person on Earth spend the 6 long, dreadful years of the Wii U's life thinking it was an accessory to the Wii. If such a person had existed, they hardly were in the market for a console or they would have known what the Wii U was. Microsoft has named their consoles: Xbox, Xbox 360 (?), Xbox One (!??!!!?) and Xbox Series X/S (???). No MSFT fanboy has ever tried to claim they lost to Sony because of the confusing name. It's only the child-like Nintendo fanboys that try to use that as an excuse. Here's reality: Everyone knew what it was and STILL didn't want one because it had this useless tablet (that even Nintendo couldn't find a good use for) and it was previous-generation in terms of power vs the mighty PS4 and Xbox One. It's really and truly THAT simple.

    6:30: "And now you have a regular Wii with an incredibly clean HDMI output." No you don't! LOL! I guess you don't know, so I'll inform you: *A Wii with OEM component video cables will ALWAYS and 100% of the time look BETTER than a vWii (Wii running on Wii U) with the Wii U's HDMI cable.* Google it or search here on UA-cam. It's true.

    2:50: That is a VERY weak point to make as one can argue that Compaq and IBM kept making PCs with the same architecture from the early 1980s right up until the very end. So what? There was NOTHING wrong with that, and it is what makes PCs running Windows so compelling. My i7 Intel processor is just the latest x86 processor that can trace its routes back though the 8086 and even beyond. Your reaction seems to indicate that it was a mistake. It wasn't. And it made for 100% backwards compatibility, which MSFT and Sony did not have with their consoles largely because they kept changing architectures for no good reason. But sure, the Wii U was 7th Gen graphics in an 8th Gen world. That's because they refused to pay for better silicon from IBM and AMD, NOT because the latter didn't have it.

    7:30 the Kirby 20th anniversary dream collection doesn't count. heck, that game proved that HAL Labs actually had HEART. the base Kirby's Return to Dreamland game itself was like 1.35GB (unless they're compressed?), however one mode in Dream Collection uses that game's engine for a mode, meaning the game is smaller than that. with Nintendo and Mario All-Stars; all of the game's content was squandered on a DVD-sized disc that's far larger than the SNES rom it contained (it didn't even have WORLD). for reference a single and dual-layered disc can hold at least 4.7GB or 8.54GB maximum respectively. Compare that to the Dream Collection where HAL placed more heart in that game's content, upto and including; localized events and dates near Kirby games' releases (in its timeline mode), a few episodes of the anime and even a video showing its orchestra. they also had no reason to go so hard on the VC games on there since the Wii covered all of them previously, but until the Gigaleak occured, was the only time that the Wii Gameboy Virtual Console emulator was actually utilized. (mostly for Dreamland 1 and 2). in a sense, HAL adding all that content made their collection make better use of that Disc's space. i also kind of wonder if the games' pricepoint just made it a no-brainer to buy, since it could be played on both Wii and Wii U systems. Nintendo pretty much dripfed VC games each generation, but then you have to consider how often does Kirby games get remade?

Honestly, considering how cheap Wii u are and the vwii mode, old Wii us a bit of a waste of time if you can get Wii u for more less the same price and it can all the same plus way lot more. There is just one thing that Wii can do and not a single other console can, it can output 240p RGB, any other console that you can run emulators on only supports 480i... Thanks to that you can play all the old roms on European CRT TVs in a great quality
