There’s a mechanism for seeing who performed the mod action, I just can’t recall how it’s done off the top of my head. I know one of the frequent anti-tankie posters shares which ml mod has deleted posts/comments in their posts.

- Comment on Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable? 1 week ago:
Looks like it’s outputting at the original Dreamcast resolution. I think you’d need an upscaler if you don’t want to have to rely on the TV’s picture settings. It may also be worth seeing if you can lower the display resolution to 480p on that input.

So the combat and leveling systems have been reworked, but aside from that it’s largely unchanged mechanics wise, from what I can gather. I just booted it up 5 mins ago so I can share more impressions in a few hours
