I don’t know if it ever stopped. Seems like every other month there’s a port or a homebrew that eventually goes retail.

The Atomiswave arcade ports are great.

Dreamcast Junkyard is the typical forum for all things that are “still thinking”

Short answer, absolutely not.

The Virtex Ultrascale+ FPGA boards are $10,000 AND UP.

If you look up why Mister will not move up to more powerful FPGA chips, this is why.

Would it be cool? Yes. Definitely.

Now imagine that, but on a keyboard. No mouse. That’s pc controls for ZT

Extreme G 2 on pc loses the analog steering from N64, which turns out is a big deal. Throwback Entertainment made a port-of-a-port and introduced a speed hack in the launcher menu where you can slow down the game a bit, which helps, but doesn’t fix the issue.

In some other cases like Hexen, there were alterations on console that I find generally more appealing, like an ost remaster or lighting effects.

The Genesis game Zero Tolerance and Dreamcast version of Expendable are games I prefer on console simply because of the control schemes on pc.

Not to pile on, but print ads from the 90’s are wild to look at. Sonic 3 launched at $70. Sonic 3

Definitely going to try this.

I have DNS adblocking / tracker blocking set up on an Android TV (spoiler: Amazon is very noisy, even if you don’t watch anything on Prime Video), but it doesn’t help against native launcher ads.

When the launcher first started showing ads, you could disable certain services, but it would break playback on other apps.

To me that looks like RetroArch running Genesis Plus GX.

Retro-bit, Retro Fighters, and Krikzz are a few more manufacturers I can think of making controllers with original ports.

In particular, Retro-bit’s Saturn Pro pad is…interesting, let’s say. I have also used Retro Fighters Striker Dreamcast pads - they’re quite nice.

In yonder days, a few companies like ASCII and Hori come up a lot for reliable stuff.

Update: Last Stand is there, comes with all the DLC gear, but does not carry over character progress from Steam (not that I expected it to). Just, you know, a heads up if you spent a few dozen hours triple prestiging every hero.

However, I’m dubious if it actually connects to any servers, matchmaking or otherwise. From the main lobby it shows I am the only player in General, where everyone online would be. Aaaaand nobody but me. Surely some other weirdo besides me is playing the game during daylight hours on GOG.

Thrilled to see it get added, but my first thought is if Last Stand works.

Plus DoW II has some of the best lines in the series from the Orks:

“Um, Boss, they’z blowed up those shiny bridges you like”

“You’ze betta be lyin’ to me boy, an you’ze better be ded before I get dere, cuz I don’t like bein’ lied to”
