There is a GitHub project working on a recompilation of both of these for PC. They’ve got Majora’s Mask working and are working on OoT. Looks beautiful, runs buttery smooth, and has custom controls with a free camera.
- Comment on Nintendo Music – Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I’ve tried it and have a few thoughts:
Initial selection is only 23 games, not sure why they’re not just releasing everything. I guess they’re planning on parceling the music out like their emulators.
The choices of games are also kind of strange, like why 2 versions of Metroid? Why starfox 64 and not like Mario 64
The ability to extend songs up to 60 minutes is pretty cool
The idea of character specific playlists is interesting
It crashes semi frequently, not a good sign.
It does add value to the Switch online membership, but not much at this point.

I would like to believe this, unfortunately the large number of very old assholes seems to indicate otherwise.
- Comment on Screenshots of what I'm playing, day 1: progressing through Sonic 2 2 weeks ago:
They still work on most of the emulated versions I’ve tried (including the version that OP is playing here), but I haven’t tried on Sonic Origins
- Comment on Weight loss jabs for unemployed not dystopian, says Wes Streeting 3 weeks ago:
Where are the insulted Americans? I see only a few comments and no one seems offended to me.
Is this a fediverse thing where I’m not seeing all the comments or are you just making shit up to be self righteous about?
I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that it’s the second one.

- Comment on Super Mario Sunshine’s Biggest Mod Now Ready for Download 2 months ago:
Wasn’t that more about cracking the encryption on those games and leaking them early rather than modding them?
- Comment on Super Mario Sunshine’s Biggest Mod Now Ready for Download 2 months ago:
It’s a patch that requires a “legitimately” acquired ROM to work. This is how sites like SMW World avoid C&D’s, they host patches and mods and don’t have the actual ROMs on site. Nintendo can’t take it down because none of their code is there.

- Comment on Dead Rising remaster will make Frank West less of a creep 2 months ago:
You asked how stuff can be removed from a remaster and still be called a remaster. I explained how that can be so.
The Special Edition in particular is relevant because Lucas changed things based on decisions he made later. Removing the Erotica bonus is equivalent to making Jabba a CG slug in his scene in A New Hope rather than a human gangster, as he was originally envisioned (yes the scene was cut from the theatrical release but the footage of human Jabba still exists). It’s a change in artistic vision that the creators want reflected in their new definitive version.
With any luck Capcom won’t pull a Lucas and make it nearly impossible to get the original version if someone wants to play it warts and all.

I know, I just wanted to call out the dirty delete. Own your mistakes, don’t try to erase them.
- Comment on Dead Rising remaster will make Frank West less of a creep 2 months ago:
When movies are remastered a lot of times undesirable parts of it (vhs tracking lines, static, film scratches and the like) are removed. Same as when songs are remastered and they take out mistakes on the original recording. Hell, look at the amout of stuff that was changed with the “special edition” remasters of the Star Wars OT. In each case things are removed or changed, but it is still a remaster.

Yes.
