God bless these young women, they deserve so much better than this

Absolutely good ideas tbh

I agree with Yukiko, just dw about it honestly. If man dreamy, man dreamy.

The lesbian thoughts will help!

It really is, like why tbh. Unserious emulator frontend.

The Tactics Ogre save is literally all zeros--nary a set bit in sight.

This is now in unhinged territory.

I noticed this too because I went in with HxD to try to edit the last 16 bytes - all zeros. I copied it off of that Sandisk 32GB SD again - still all zeros. So I went and checked it on the Wii U Retroarch, where it still boots and shows my Knight of Lodis save.

Why?

I guess I could grab the SD and look at the data on the card, hang on - and HxD ALSO sees the save on the SD card as all fucking zeros. So either HxD and ImHex are goofballs or Retroarch can read a zeroed save file just fine. Somehow. I checked again btw and it still loads on the Wii U fine.

EDIT: the .sav in the roms folder Retroarch makes is apparently a dummy file. My beautiful better half discovered: if you go Retroarch -> Cores -> savefiles you will find the actual SRM files. I have loaded it on a peecee, thank you for going back and forth with me about it.

::: spoiler spoiler

usually don't bother correcting strangers, might work on that but idk, I kinda just hate the hassle

I gotta admit yea, and I don't even have cool pronouns. Whenever people irl are like 'woman!' it's just, yeah whatever y'know, close enough.

I shy away from really articulating this sometimes because I feel like it might come across as insensitive to binary trans ppl but uh

What if it was insensitive to non binary trans people

often thinking "I wish other people could describe me as 'elegant' and that doesn't really seem attainable in a way I'd be happy with given the hand I've been dealt"

I think I sort of grasp this, but this is also getting sort of impressionistic, a bit abstract. I mean, I know what "the wrong kind of androgynous" means sort of, because that's when you are androgynous but randomly with gender connotations, blegh this shit is awful.

I'm not trying to be a jackass or anything, I'm just having trouble grasping this all the way, Idk

I have mGBA troubles but yeah I plan to. My better half is a huge fan of Mother 1 as well, so that too tbh.

I know right? I make a habit of doubling my saves with savestates always, so I have several .ss0 files to go with em, which also do not work :)

Sure, here is the FF VI save. This uses a USA ROM patched with this colour patch and this sound patch but I can't imagine it changes the save data at all. I still have the original ROM patched with FLIPS fwiw.

And this is the Knight of Lodis save. This is for a completely stock USA Knight of Lodis ROM.

I read a lot about byte orders being different and an EEPROM save converter, none of that worked. The FFVI does say it's 32,768kb.

RGB is pretty good, dunno...

It is always disheartening to remember that every console up until like, the Playstation was sold with an RF box thing as standard. Just why? I mean I get it, common TVs, but goddamn.

That's because an artist made that image intetionally to look a certain way on the CRT medium.

Yeah but like... it doesn't, though? As in, the added shading, banding, stuff you're talking about is native to composite video itself. A proper YPbPr video feed into any decent CRT has a very small amount of colour bleed, on account that the colours are separated at the cable. You can get really sharp images off a CRT...

I've seen demo images of like, Guardian Legend and how much more detailed it looks on a CRT! and they were using a Famicom hooked up via RF. I just don't have a face for stuff like that. Like, a decent YPbPr or RGB feed going to a decent (so like 20"+) consumer set is not going to be that "naturally blurred", or else playing Sonic 1 on the Wii's GenesisPlusGX over component would produce exactly the same "blurred" dithering you get with composite... right?

What I'm saying, and again correct me if I've misunderstood or something, is that only the lowest quality analog connections to a TV will produce the "blurring" that makes the "otherwise poor choices" of the dithered Sonic 1 waterfall or whatever "look amazing". And at that point you're getting such a degrated image (combined chroma+luma lmao) that why bother? The allegedly intended way to play them is through the worst video hookups possible?

Oh sick

I beat Earthbound which is actually pretty good, the gamers were right for once.
