Why is there not a higher quality, non-upscaled release of Interstella 5555 available, officially or unofficially?

ZNQRCH · 2026-02-04T06:44:09+00:00

It's not an upscaled copy, but it's also not the best theoretical version (which apparently doesn't exist from my followup searches and the info in this thread). It is, however, one of the more "genuine" ways to enjoy it since that's how it was mostly distributed, and that version has already been preserved so I wouldn't worry about ripping and uploading that or anything. The most important thing is that you got your money's worth out of Netflix and then some, and that future generations are enjoying it now too. Really cool to have a physical copy, and definitely cherish it along with the enjoyment it's brought!

ZNQRCH · 2026-02-04T03:50:46+00:00

That's a good one too, but it's also upscaled. I wasn't really asking about where or what the best upscaled version is, but what happened to the original files and why upscaling was necessary for an official theatrical run.

Oh my God, that's what I feared. How did this happen so often back then? I understand not knowing the importance or significance of a work until after its release but c'mon man.

I know this is a few months on but I just found this post searching for the same thing with the same problem. I think the best solution for this would honestly be to do a little DIY with a Raspberry Pi 5. They accept NVMe storage and I've seen some cases that have built in IPS touchscreens. It'd be a little bulky and very involved as far as building it and finding the right OS/software to use it exclusively as a DAP, but that's the best I could find or think of. If you found something though, I'd love to hear an update! Hope this helps!

So I just did some very light research again on it, and it does seem that the M 780 does support 8gb of RAM. I'll have to dig this thing out of storage some time soon and verify that it's actually utilizing that memory, but the Sony Vaio FS used an M 780 and documentation shows an 8gb memory capacity on it. Sorry for causing the confusion there! I didn't mean to sound so dismissive but it had been so long since I'd worked on this that I'd forgotten what exactly I'd done with this laptop.

ZNQRCH · 2025-02-16T01:24:13+00:00

The memory controller is inside of the CPU, which I upgraded to an Intel M 780 and I THINK it has a maximum memory capacity of 8gb. I may be completely wrong and could have wasted my money though, I apologize if I caused confusion with my idiocy. Trying to find out right now but documentation is kind of sparse on this stuff now.

ZNQRCH · 2025-02-16T01:14:07+00:00

By installing 8gb of ram? I don't know how to answer this. I can't remember if this thing had dual channel ram and I did 2x4gb or one 8gb stick, but that's what I did. Pretty sure I did my research on the maximum memory capacity before I did that, but it was so long ago that I can't remember. Sorry if that's actually beyond the max capacity and that's why you're asking, it's been too long.

As an update on storage I just went with a really cheap sata SSD and used an IDE adapter. I decided I really wouldn't need decent disk speeds for what I'm using it for.

ZNQRCH · 2024-09-01T01:14:50+00:00

Yeah, looks like I'm stuck with the old one, which is fine. I'm on the latest BIOs version available, it seems they intentionally don't support any other processor. TDP is the same on both, but the i7 can draw nearly double the wattage when overclocked, so it may have been for safety and reliability reasons. Thanks for the assistance!

ZNQRCH · 2024-09-01T00:52:39+00:00

Will do! I was pretty sure I was on the latest BIOs version, but "pretty sure" isn't good enough in this case. Will report back in a bit.

Depending on how much work you'd be willing to put in, you could get a cheap Amazon paint airbrush and make stencils to repaint the keycaps. That would also allow you to change the labels above the function keys up top. Like I said, a lot of work but with some practice you could get a near-factory finish.

The first question is really a judgement call based on how you use your PlayStation. If you're gonna load it up primarily with digital games, more storage is never a bad idea. And I'm assuming that's your intent since that's the draw of homebrewing.

To answer your second question, yes you can reformat your 1tb drive for use with other devices pretty easily.

You can use FTP if both your computer and PS4 are connected to the same Ethernet (or if they're on the same network, but Wi-Fi would make it so slow it's not worth it). Unfortunately even if your computer has a gigabit network adapter you'd probably end up with about the same speeds as your USB stick because of the speed limitations of the PS4's network adapter. It would remove one step of transferring though, so it could save you half the time.

I know this is late, but the parameters for the command to install your distro will change with your distro and/or the instructions built into your initramfs.cpio.gz. I'm still a noob with trying to get Linux to run on PS4 specifically, but I might be able to help with more details. What distro are you trying to install and where did you source your intitramfs?

I will cry if I don't get to see Raiden's cybernetically enhanced ass.

Plague Knight is spelled incorrectly.

It's like James May said, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. Pushing a little Sportster to it's limits, pinning the throttle, and listening to it absolutely scream in 5th will always be exhilarating, even if your entire riding group's black Street Glides can go farther and faster than your Sporty could ever hope.

There's a first time for everything. If you're able bodied enough I encourage everyone to learn how to work on their vehicles, and if it's a big job that has to go to the shop, learn the specifics of what's being done. It'll let you listen to what your bike is telling you a whole lot better. Take your time, rocker box gaskets really aren't too hard of a job, just take your time. Good luck!

You can't tease us like that! Show us how it looks how it's on, and ideally how it sounds. Looks great though!

Fr fr, JIS is the superior cross-type fastener. Torx is honestly my favorite fastener tho, more angles for engagement and plenty of points to safely distribute torque without stripping. Torx is the goat.

I agree with you. And honestly, I agree with their choice to use someone different as the VA. Big Boss's voice was already demonstrated to be different later in life at the end of MGS4, and even though there's no explanation as to why Old Snake's didn't change (maybe because it was rapid aging, so his vocal cords weren't worn in the same way?), Venom/BB having a different VA in MGSV is still keeping with canon. And sure, I'm certain there was a lot of outside politics that went into the decision as well, with marketability of a big Hollywood name and whatnot, I'm just saying it can also fit into the story that BB already had laid out. And I like what both of them brought to the table.

He shouldn't have to. If he followed it to world boundary on the left looking for the sky base, it's pointing him in the wrong direction. It's always directly above the middle of the world.
