If it's only a brief reply, I might do it on mobile, though this is infrequent (probably less than 5% of the time).
Typing with two thumbs on my phone doesn't feel very comfortable. I prefer to grip the phone with my left hand and type with the right. ____________________ |

Posted by Hiryuu Not much for now.

I haven't delved too deeply into that modding market but is it even possible to convert a 4-USB fat model's RSX to a more modern 40mm without botching everything in the process? |

The SYSCON (stock) fan settings for the PS3 (any model) were absurdly, unreasonably conservative. They prioritized having the fan be as quiet as possible over the system's actual health so much to the point it honestly killed and still kills PS3s, mainly the original fat models that still had an incorrect underfill for the RSX (long video warning).
That all said, I personally would still look for a backwards compatible fat as my potential forever console as long as it's been "Frankenstein modded" to have the smaller-size, less-heat, more-reliable 40nm RSX. I completely understand their decision in removing such a huge component and advertised feature of the PS3 to drastically cut costs and course-correct with how unpopular (and unaffordable) the PS3 was at the time, but that doesn't mean I have to like the feature removal. Plus with CFW you can adjust the fan speed curve to a more actually sane one for longevity. I currently have just a CECH-2001A Slim, which isn't even really the best Slim since it has a 65nm RSX instead of the 40nm, so it runs quite hot. More hot than my fully decked out desktop PC that I built myself running at full bore. ____________________ YouTube Twitch |

I just started a co-op on Super Mario 74. Already blazed through the first 90 stars of that hack. Gonna finish the rest on the next time I arrange a play session with my friends. Can't wait to break Luminium-Sphere and Ombru-Sphere wide open, lol. Those 2 levels gave me fits when I first played. |

The video above is my playthrough of the job done on this game. The handiwork of creating it is not my own. This is a double patch of the game that accomplishes two major things: and English translation and optimization of the code that removes the jarring framerate issues that are in the game while not resorting to additional support such as FastROM or SA1. Upsilandre released the framerate hack/fix and current information on it can be found in the description of their YT video about it: here. The most recent patch, as of now, is from late August. Dynamic Designs released the English translation and the patch can be found: here. This translation has been out for a few years now so it should be at its best. If you've played the original, at all, this is pretty much as good as it will likely ever get for this title. It is a very nice anime approach to the Street Fighter II's of the time but was marred by its technical issues and lack of English translation, albeit the latter was only so necessary and we almost got an actual release of it which was sadly canceled. So definitely go give these two your time if this interests you in the slightest. Quite a lot of work was done to make this possible over years of time. |

I would like to see the 0xED hex editor get an unofficial update, so it will work properly on the newer operating systems of the iMac.
Darkstalkers 3 (Sony PlayStation): I recently found out that Donovan has his newer improved sprites from Vampire Hunter 2/Vampire Savior 2 in this port, but they only appear if you choose the D.F. Power mode, I would like to see someone make them be his default sprites? Vampire Savior (Sega Saturn): A hack that will add these improvements to it: Give Donovan his improved sprites from Vampire Hunter 2/Vampire Savior 2. Fix two text errors in the English mode version of these two endings: In J.Talbain's ending, change John to Jon. In Hsien-Ko's ending, change Lin-Lin to Mei-Ling. Vampire Chronicle (Sega Dreamcast): A hack that will add all of these improvements to it: 1.Translate the game to English, just copy the text info for the win quotes, Jedah and both endings from the American PSP port. You might have to create new text for the save & load screens. 2.Give some of the fighters their English names, you can probably grab them from the American PSP port. 3.Have the CPU use the default palettes for all the fighters, instead of the alternate ones. 4.Change the palettes for the player select screen to the ones from Vampire Savior 1, it's using the ones from Vampire Savior 2. 5.Switch the palettes for the background stages to their original ones, the only time it should use the alternate palettes is when you fight the Mid-Boss and the secret Oboro boss fight. 6.Have J.Talbain, Rikuo and Sasquatch appear more often in arcade mode, the CPU rarely chooses them. Have them appear in the stages they appear the most on from Vampire Savior 1: https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/Vampire_Savior/Secrets#Stage_Select_Probabilities 7.Restore the unused hidden fighter Dark J.Talbain, I think he's still in the ROM. His winning theme is still there. 8.Give Donovan his improved sprites from Vampire Hunter 2/Vampire Savior 2, I think they might be in the ROM. Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower (Sony PSP): 1.Change the name of Jedah's stage back to being called "The Fetus of God" once again. 2.Restore the "DOWN!" text that's suppose to appear after you won a round. 3.Have the CPU use the default palettes for all the fighters, instead of the alternate ones. 4.Change the palettes for the player select screen to the ones from Vampire Savior 1, it's using the ones from Vampire Savior 2. 5.Switch the palettes for the background stages to their original ones, the only time it should use the alternate palettes is when you fight the Mid-Boss and the secret Oboro boss fight. 6.Have J.Talbain, Rikuo and Sasquatch appear more often in arcade mode, the CPU rarely chooses them. Have them appear in the stages they appear the most on from Vampire Savior 1: https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/Vampire_Savior/Secrets#Stage_Select_Probabilities 7.Restore the unused hidden fighter Dark J.Talbain, he's still in the ROM. His winning theme is still there. 8.Give Donovan his improved sprites from Vampire Hunter 2/Vampire Savior 2, I think they might be in the ROM. |

Haha thanks for the positive response. Honestly there is no hurry anyway, as the current logo does its job, just needs some more character (in the sense of stylized) to me. And that's the thing; such a logo is an identity and you don't want to pick randomly from a stranger. I'm already happy you even considered one. :-)
Edit: The background shapes are representing buildings in a big city. For the black and white lovers (same size, I just made a mistake when capturing screenshot): v19 on Daily Cycle 2.0 beta theme background: 
v19 on Diet Board 2 theme background:  |

Maybe use all of them or a variant based on the theme you're using.
I'm partial to the v18 myself but I usually am big on single color stuff. v16 looks kinda SMW-ish, though. |

Would you believe I did that at a point? We deferred from doing it though once we found people much better with the process. I actually had to hex edit the executable for people to be able to access my IP address at the time but I basically had to run a bunch of servers in tandem with the emulator in order to make it run. It was a mess but we had fun with it for a little while there. |

Oh I'm sure there are people here who remember this or Albatross18, as it was originally called. It was officially canned back in April of this year, after roughly two decades of service. However, it never really died. Server emulation became a thing several years ago and there are quite a few private servers around. None are entirely stable but the one above is, for the most part. If you've had an inkling to get back into it after all this time, this is about as good as it gets. |

Oh, yea. I dig this. Been liking a lot of the 'DX' upconverts and the like as of late. Especially, the MM GB series that have been getting looked at.
I don't suppose you have anything video-related to show off at present? |
