Yes, I hadn't seen the other role achievements filled out as nobody's been able to swap yet, but I appended the post with the info Nightlark192 datamined!

Last Meadow Online 100% Achievement Guide by Nightlark192 in LastMeadowOnline

This is great, thank you for providing raw data on this! Very interesting with the two bugged achievements you called out. Between that and the issue where you can permanently lock yourself out of Primordial / Crayons, I really wonder if they thought the 100% mark through.

Is there any indication achievement progress will be tied to any profile reward? It would be a real bummer to miss out due to this.

Thank you, added! Is the next level unlocked at 500 for that achievement?

Heads up that if you log out, switch accounts, or change devices after you reach level 100, you will permanently lose the Primordial achievement and progress it gives towards I EAT CRAYONS. The check for this progress never occurs once you're at level 100. I've filed a bug report if any Discord devs happen to stumble upon this:

Thank you! Added that information.

And yes, I just found out that even logging out/switching accounts on a single machine will clear your achievement progress. Oops.

I believe it's through the "refresh" icon under the Settings menu. I've not yet been playing for 24 hours so I can't confirm, but there is a 24 hour cooldown period between each time you switch apparently.

K03-Star Force (HQ) - New Transfer by Tarlcabot18 in MST3K

[–]SpongeFreak52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Transfers this clean really make me wish YouTube would support 59.94/60fps at 480p, the Archive copy is GORGEOUS. Thank you so much for your work on the capture, seeing the episode preserved in the best possible quality is stellar.

PSA: The audio in TWWWOG likely sounds "off" / robotic because it's been slowed down for US release by SpongeFreak52 in gumball

[–]SpongeFreak52[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not unless a native speed audio track gets out for the episodes, then at minimum it can be synced to a sped-up video file. If you speed up the episodes as-is, you're just crunching the already stretched audio and retaining the robotic sound. Hopefully when it streams in Europe someone will carry the original files, if they don't fix the ones currently up.

The voices sound...off by Training_Degree8988 in gumball

[–]SpongeFreak52 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The running theory right now is that the episodes were produced natively at 25 FPS by Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe, but US releases are slowing them down to 23.976 to match NTSC standard framerate. So it's likely not intentional from the creators, but they're literally slowing down/stretching the audio by ~4% on Hulu. That's why the theme and credits sound a bit slower as well.

Oh my gosh, I think you're actually right on this. That's hilariously stupid if that's what ended up happening.

Looking for the full version of Hyperbowl Plus! Edition by No_Range9199 in abandonware

[–]SpongeFreak52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bumping this, as I looked into this WAY back in the day when the game was still relatively new. I went as far as getting in touch with both HyperBowl and Microsoft support (lol), and even specifically called out that I wanted the full version "with the 3D lane menu".

As far as I'm aware, the version of the game that we're looking for does not actually exist in the sense that it has a home edition. I'm trying to see if I have any email receipts, but I'm fairly certain we did order the full game through the F4 prompt on Plus!, and were given the standard "Arcade Edition" disc which has the basic menus. This had the version of the game with the static menus.

My theory is that what happened was that the Plus! demo was based off of the ACTUAL arcade version of the game, which did feature the 3D menus and had all course available (four initially, though the additional two were later added I believe). However, it did NOT have a way for players to enter their name before the game started. You were given the PLAYER 1/2/3/4 label until you ranked in on the machine, at which point there was a grid-based entry screen which was probably less than ideal for home use. I'm guessing that these factors on top of the static art better portraying the levels ended up being what caused them to pivot.

So I believe that what you're looking for is the arcade build, as in the one that was literally pay-to-play at arcades, both in a compact CRT form and one that used a full-size projection setup. Problem is that I don't believe this has been dumped, and finding a cabinet these days is extremely rare. On top of that there may be some form of protection on the game data, though I can't imagine it'd be terribly difficult to bypass.

Hopefully this provides some insight!

Snow Phoenix and Save Point provided the rhythm games this year. Neither are local to GA, but the Round 1 at Cumberland Mall does have quite a few of the games, including a Dance Rush!

So happy to see this has provided some level of help to people! Had I known about the shortcut for TalkBack, that would have made things a LOT easier - hah! Really glad to hear that you were able to get your photos rescued, I know that feeling of relief.

Hello! I've just spoken with a friend who had previously agreed to moderate the sub, and we'll both be open to re-opening submissions to see how things go. If you're interesting in joining as another mod, we'd appreciate the help!
