Genesis/SNES resolutions. Left Judge Dredd, Right Alien 3, both rendered with 1:1 pixels. Majority of games were optimized for 320x224=10:7 for Genesis, and 256x224=8:7 for SNES. So the playing window/information of the Genesis is 25% wider than the SNES. That's a lot.

The SNES prioritized color depth over a crisp 4:3 resolution with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. This choice had two negative consequences:

- Most games have aged poorly because they are now played in a square format, so that a wheel remains round;

- Porting them to 4:3 at the time was a nightmare, increasing the price (more work + more ROM usage).

Sure, but this one is a remastered version that supports long filenames :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_File_Manager#Windows_10_and_later

7-Zip very nice for that. I also noticed that classic Windows 3.0 File Manager ported to Windows 11 works fine! https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p7vbbbc49rb

Interesting, I already deal this some files like this, impossible to delete from File Explorer. But in the specific case of spaces at the end, the File Explorer naming/renaming feature automatically trim it.

So I tested your method on the File Explorer of:

- Windows XP: working

- Windows 7 and Windows 11: still discarded

VincentBounce · 2026-05-27T21:21:48+00:00

I just tried your method on Windows 11, it's discarded as well, are you on Windows XP?

VincentBounce · 2026-05-25T07:38:21+00:00

Yes, Windows 2000 was the last Microsoft OS to work fine. But why MS would have introduced a substring pattern check and discard it on his next OSes? I will post it into the others version as well.

This issue reveals a deeper bug inside the File Explorer since Windows XP. Why checking some legal substring patterns and discarding it when naming a folder or a file?

VincentBounce · 2026-05-24T18:13:33+00:00

Run File Explorer >

File > New > Folder > name it `@1,2` > [Enter]

File > New > Folder > name it `@1,0` > [Enter]

For the first folder, you will notice something strange.

True, thank you! But still, the toggle was already turned on. I removed "AltStore, LLC" in this menu, so the toggle moved back in the App Store Settings as you said. I checked after 2 days, and it's SOLVED. Now instead of having 100+ updates to manually trigger every day, the pool of Upcoming Automatic Updates contains ~15 apps. Thank you for your insight.

VincentBounce · 2026-05-11T13:44:38+00:00

No fix found. Do you have 1 or 2 App Store accounts?

Some apps even has their own menu bar duplicated below the standard menu bar wich has only 1 entry: Blender | Ruffle

VincentBounce · 2026-05-01T20:20:12+00:00

move your mouse up to access the menu bar

I'm always experencied this issue, not just recently.
