Love the 8-bit sound 👍

They can do a lot with 4 channel sound

Praxis Fighter X, it links to the full game video if you like to see more.

@@WattTheTech crazy how I see more respect for shmups on Pico 8 than modern devs. Explosions look as they should. Not cheap.

Think it also might be because of a great UA-cam tutorial series by www.youtube.com/@LazyDevs/videos he shows how to create a shmup from the ground up. Its also the tutorial guide im following so I'm also creating one...

Just looked into it, and it seems UA-cam put a copyright claim on the music, so the option was mute it or delete the video. Might take it down as it pretty much is the whole video is now muted. Thanks for letting me know.

That’s the beauty of Pico load the game and look at the code. I’m new to Pico and I’m a long way from working out particle effects. I’m just getting to grips moving a sprite around a blank screen at this point. lol 😂. Thanks for watching.

@@WattTheTech I started with Pico a year ago, and it's very rewarding in terms of results. I spend the day watching videos and I feel quite proud of what I'm achieving little by little. Now I'm using Picotron, which breaks the limits of Pico-8 a little.

What a great story... if I get something going I might look at Picotron at some point, I was tempted to get the bundle but figured I need to walk before I can run :) (im following along with Lazy Devs series at the moment and you right little by little the ideas and concept grow)

Just saw your channel, is Fountains what you have been working on, it looks epic well done looks so polished :)

@@WattTheTech yes thank you! It's the demo only I'm now working on the second level. If you are just starting out, it is better to use Pico, then moving to Picotron is not difficult, you just have to choose the resolution well (vid3). If you need help, let me know.

agreed, they did such a good job on this one

Can hear it now...

Nightmare in the Dark by SNK on the Neo Geo

Still amazes me how they do it with just 4 channels

Nice, looks smooth

Thanks for taking the time to watch, yes the command is only for Pi4 and Pi5

Yes only Pi4 and Pi5 support this feature, future Pi's might but for now just them two.

Thank you. If anyone is remotely into using BOINC i think running a Pi5 for is very cost affective, unless your a power user that needs to run it on a beefy graphics card. My Pi5 crunches far better than my very old Mac mini for far less power consumption. Ive run BOINC on Pi's for over six years now 24/7 still got a Pi3 crunching away but I intend to replace my Pi3s and Pi4s with just a 2 or 3 of Pi5 and they will do the same amount of work for less power.

Thank you for pointing that out, my mistake, corrected :)

Ridge Racer did start as an arcade game, they did a few version for arcade before it got ported to PS1

This is the work of David Whittaker he is well regarded for game music of that time. Back then they had no composition software he coded it all in machine language.

Ridge Racer PS3, its linked to the full video

@@WattTheTech oh thanks

Yes my friends had Amigas and the sound always amazed me along with the visuals.

Same my original was on tape also, I started with 600XL and moved to the 130XE which I still have. My tape deck stopped working years ago so I need to fix that one day. Its was always the sound and graphics that amazed me on Alley Cat, Thanks for watching.

Thank you, pleased you liked it.

This is one of the best simulations of the genre. The PS3 had a few driving games; this one went for realism, for sure.

I’ve played them all and when this come along on the PS3 it was such a jump in the visuals over the PS2. It still looks pretty good even today. I play GT6 a lot on PS3

Looking into it. Does sound familiar

@@WattTheTech Cool. Jeremy Irons?

@@fraQtal Stephen Greif

@@WattTheTech Ha! Who knew.

@@fraQtal I remember him from “Blake’s 7” a British sci-fi TV show from late 70’s early 80’s. Sadly he passed away two years ago.

I’m going to find out I’m not sure. The score is composed by Patrick Doyle

Early stuff like this was so amazing at the time. We didn’t think it would need to be any better.

And all this is rendered in real time and 3D space with polygons galore. Still amazed by it. Upgrading my capture card soon so it should look even better. Currently it’s not showing it at its best.

Thanks for watching

What I always say to people that have issues. Temporarily get another spare SD card install a fresh latest Pi OS then update and apply the new eeprom Once the update is done it’s in the firmware on the Pi so then you can just pull that SD card out and go back to your normal card the update will be install OK

I can relate, ATARI got a good chunk of change from me also with this title.. its cool to see how far we have come. Playing it again found it tricky to control with any degree of accuracy... but its one of the classic. Thanks for watching.

Good question, i'm not sure I thought it was all graphics. But maybe its text mode.

Never mess with Nina :)

PS3 was mind blowing at the time, it holds up pretty well even today.

Thanks for watching

Try the official HAT it’s out today.
