how many Xenocrisis ports have come out since Paprium got announced

I think the funniest thing about paprium, reading up on how the people who actually got a cart feel, is that the cart doesn’t even work on legit consoles half the time. That seems to be the biggest audience excited to play the game via emulation

I even feel like things like the SuperFX Chip is “sort of cheating” and that’s an official part.

The ability to bundle all kinds of special chips with your game is the best thing about cartridges imo. It’s like you’ve got a sort of modular console or something. It’s so cool!

They forced out Unknown Worlds leadership so they could delay Subnautica 2 into next year and not have to pay the devs $250 mil in bonuses for shipping it this year.

Thinking about this since the Doom carts coming from Limited Run Games seem to have a Raspberry Pi in them to try and get the game to run better.

(I’m morbidly curious how that’s going to go, in some part for the sheer novelty but also just, y’know, how they and every other company that crank out SNES repro carts manage to make ones that fry real hardware, so pulling enough power to run a Pi seems…I dunno, maybe it’s doable, but…)

(Oh also they’re doing a controller that rumbles to go with it, so if you can fry your cart slot and controller port with a single game…)

This reminds me, at the Super Potato in Akiba, they had a little setup with an SNES that had a cart adapter that lets you play Genesis games but with the SNES hardware/controllers. Wonder what kinda emulator or whatever hardware they’ve got going on in that cart to make all that work.

Like at some point, we’ll have an FPGA SNES cart that just lets you play PS1 games and everything, right??

I thought the RPi in the Doom cartridge was just so they could make the joke that Doom itself can play Doom?

I miss that weird era of super janky passthrough emulation.
